They supplied an adm file for a GPO to block their toolbar in the past so that's not entirely accurate. Seems to me they will have to adapt that mindset if they want to their services to appeal to enterprises...which I think they want J From: Jon Harris [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 10:56 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: GPO to block chrome.exe Last time I heard you could not block the install.

Running the modeling wizard I see the GPO is applied to the correct system. I also see chrome.exe seems to exist in all sorts of "Local Settings\Temp\chrome_nnnn" locations, what's up w/ that? I also have a hash value block of the .EXE (well, one version of them) in the same GPO. I need to block the app (please don't get me started at blocking the install on the first place...one step at a time here). Ideas?
