Hello,

I have been reading some online forums about Chrome web browser deployment.  I'm wanting to push it out to a building, but simply needing to push it to a lab for now to get started.  It seems there are quite a few hurdles to jump through to make this work.  Some are using the consumer chrome executable file with scripts/and or certain command line arguments such as \s for silent installs and others are using the enterprise.msi.  
I am wanting to:
  1. Push out via GPO - silently
  2. Have minimal user interaction upon start up.
Is anyone successfully doing this in their K12 or other environment with success!

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan Christ

Yes - enterprise msi, GPO, and adm template - works exactly as you wish.

Yes, we've been using both the MSI and the Group Policy template and
both work extremely well.

Here's a link to find out more, http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=1064255
