Edge extension policies

Question

I have created a GPO that installs several extensions silently, which is working fine. The problem I am having is I am trying to create a new policy where we install an extension for only certain users. The policy shows that it is getting applied, however the policy does not install the extension. If I add the same extension to the first policy, it installs? When looking at the edge://policy/, I do not see the other policy setting and when checking in the registry, I only see the policy for the first one that is applied? Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing the other policy to not install the same way as the first one that is applied? We do the same for Chrome and that is working fine.

Thanks,
Gavin

Answer 1

@Gavin Ross Now I understand your situation. I think your issue is that the two same policies conflict.

There's a link order in GPO. For detailed information, you can refer to this thread and this thread. In short, there's only one GPO can win if you set the same GPO for twice or more.

In your situation, the same GPOs conflict and the first one wins which overriding the others. I think you can try to adjust the GPO's order and structure to see if it can achieve what you want.

Answer 2

I realized where I went wrong on the policy, I have made the modifications and it is working as expected now.
