Google Chrome-Enterprise-Administrator Professional Chrome Enterprise Administrator Certification Exam Exam Practice Test

By default, when a Chrome browser on a Windows device is enrolled in Chrome Enterprise Core, cloud-based machine policies will take precedence over locally configured machine policies (Group Policy). This ensures that the centrally managed cloud policies are enforced.

===========

When Chrome's Safe Browsing feature identifies a website as potentially risky and displays a warning page that the user might bypass to visit the site, this interaction is typically logged in the Audit and Investigation Report as a "Site Warning Unsafe Site Visit" event. This allows administrators to track instances where users might be exposed to potentially malicious content despite browser warnings. SSL errors relate to certificate issues, untrusted site visit is a more general term, and site isolation violation refers to a different security mechanism.

===========

The most likely reason for this discrepancy is that the version reported in the Chrome Enterprise Core compliance report might not be updated in real-time until Chrome is actively running and checks in. When an engineer logs in and launches Chrome, it likely completes the update process and reports the correct version. The auto-update feature generally works in the background, and a completely different unmanaged version (option C) or a persistent network block (option D) would likely prevent updates even when Chrome is launched. A malfunctioning auto-update (option A) is less likely to resolve itself upon manual launch.

===========

To target all updates within the 129 major version, the administrator should use the target version prefix `129.`. This tells Chrome to stay within the 129 branch and accept minor updates (like 129.0.x.y to 129.1.x.y) but not to upgrade to the next major version (130). The other options are not the correct syntax for specifying a major version prefix for target updates.

===========

A significant increase in requested permissions in a new version of a critical extension poses a security risk. The most prudent action is to block the updated extension until the administrator can verify the necessity of the new permissions or until a less permissive version is released. Version pinning (option D) only delays the issue and doesn't address the potential risk in the new version. Blocking specific hosts (option A) doesn't limit the extension's overall capabilities. Customizing permissions (option C) is generally not possible for Chrome extensions managed through the Google Admin console.

===========

When a managed browser is deleted from the Google Admin console, it needs to be re-enrolled to receive policies again. The process for re-enrollment typically involves deleting the **device management token** from the local machine. Upon relaunching Chrome, the browser will detect the absence of the token and attempt to re-enroll with the cloud management service, at which point it will receive a new token and the latest policies. Deleting the enrollment token (option B) might disrupt the initial enrollment if it still existed. Deleting Chrome policies (option C) might not trigger re-enrollment. Clearing the cache and signing back in (option D) addresses user profile data, not device enrollment.

===========

When managing inactive device tokens, the "Renew Token" option is crucial for allowing devices to re-enroll after a period of inactivity. If the token is revoked, invalidated, or deleted, the device will likely require a manual re-enrollment process. Renewing the token provides a mechanism for the device to check back in and remain managed.

===========

The most granular and appropriate approach to apply work-related policies without affecting personal browsing is to use **managed profiles**. By requiring users to use a specific managed profile for work purposes, administrators can enforce policies only within that profile. Personal browsing in a separate, unmanaged profile will remain unaffected. Option A would apply policies to all browsing, which is not the requirement. Option C relies on bookmarks, which is not a security enforcement mechanism. Option D is generally not feasible as enterprise policies are designed to be enforced, and setting reliable exceptions for personal use within a managed browser is complex and less secure than using separate profiles.

===========

While the provided study guide doesn't explicitly detail the OS requirements for self-hosting Chrome extensions, general web hosting best practices suggest that Linux is a common and robust platform for serving files and managing web-related services. Its open-source nature, command-line interface, and extensive server software support make it well-suited for self-hosting compared to desktop-centric operating systems like Windows 11 or macOS, and the client-focused ChromeOS. Self-hosting typically involves setting up a web server to distribute the extension files, a task commonly performed on Linux servers.

===========

The "Chrome Browser -> Reports -> Apps & extensions usage" section in the Google Admin console provides detailed information about installed extensions, including permissions and a risk assessment (if available through integrated security features). This report allows administrators to filter and analyze extensions based on their risk score and the number of permissions they request, enabling them to identify extensions that meet the cyber risk team's criteria.

===========

Chrome's Safe Browsing feature actively scans web pages, downloads, and extensions for known malware. When malware is detected, it is reported as a security event. While unauthorized file downloads could be a consequence of a security issue, Chrome's direct detection focuses on the malware itself. Password complexity is a setting for password management, and user inactivity is a system or application-level event, not a direct security event captured by Chrome in the same way as malware detection.

===========

The extension ID `ufninibicajhgibfhjcgnimlmdhccodfl` is present in the `ExtensionInstallForceList`. Extensions in this list are automatically installed and cannot be removed by the user. Therefore, when the user visits the Chrome Web Store page for "Grammar Friend," they will see a blue banner indicating that the extension is required by their organization, and the "Remove from Chrome" button will be disabled. The "Add to Chrome" button will not be clickable in the standard way because it's already being force-installed.

===========

To ensure timely patching, the engineering team should adjust the "Auto-update check period" policy. By shortening this period, Chrome browsers will check for updates more frequently, increasing the likelihood of applying security patches sooner and improving compliance with patching SLAs. "Chrome browser updates" is a general category, "Relaunch notification" affects when users are prompted to restart, and "Google updater policy precedence" deals with the order of policy application, not the frequency of checks.

===========

While not directly stating "enforce to the latest major stable version," the "Auto-update check period" policy, when configured appropriately (shorter intervals), ensures that devices check for andapply updates more frequently. This increases the likelihood of browsers reaching and staying closer to the latest stable version over time. "Rollback to target version" is for reverting updates, "Component updates" manages specific browser components, and "Relaunch notification" prompts users to restart after an update.

===========

The study guide emphasizes using enrollment tokens generated in the Google Admin console for enrolling browsers. When using an MDM solution, the most efficient and recommended method is to generate a single enrollment token and then deploy it to the devices through the MDM software. This allows for automated and scalable enrollment. Bulk enrollment features in the Admin console are typically for direct enrollment, not through MDM. Individual tokens or keys would be inefficient for a large deployment.
