Microsoft Intune (Windows)

Best for: Organizations managing Windows devices through Microsoft Intune.

On Windows the deployment takes two steps: a Settings-catalog policy force-installs the extension, and a PowerShell script writes the token to the registry. Use the UI controls in the Microsoft Intune admin center to set it up.

Step 1: Create silent installation policy​

Add a new policy by navigating Devices -> Manage Devices -> Configuration.

Microsoft Intune - Create policy

Choose your desired platform for deployment and choose Profile type: Settings catalog.

Microsoft Intune - Settings catalog

Once you've reached the Configuration settings step

  • Click + Add Settings
  • Search for Configure the list of force-installed apps and extensions
  • Choose the Google Chrome Extensions category
  • Select Configure the list of force-installed apps and extensions
  • Enable Configure the list of force-installed apps and extensions in the main pane.

Enter the following value in the input box:

jmmgnjennniheaocoocojcdidefgmapi;https://extension-install.slashid.com/updates.xml

This is the Chrome extension ID for the SlashID Browser Extension, and the URL where your devices will look for updates.

Complete the rest of the policy wizard, be sure to select the groups of devices or users who you wish to receive the deployment.

Step 2: Create third-party browser extension policy​

Next add a new platform script by navigating Devices -> Manage Devices -> Scripts and Remediations.

Choose the Platform scripts tab, and Add a new script for your platform.

Create a .ps1 PowerShell script to set the sidEventStreamingToken value for your deployed SlashID Browser Extension.

$regPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\jmmgnjennniheaocoocojcdidefgmapi\policy"
New-Item -Path $regPath -Force | Out-Null
Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name "sidEventStreamingToken" -Value "SLASHID_SENSOR_TOKEN" -Type String

Replace SLASHID_SENSOR_TOKEN with the activation code of your SlashID Sensors data source.

SlashID Console - SlashID Sensors Data Source

Upload the PowerShell script, and configure script settings.

We suggest the following settings, but you may wish to sign your PowerShell script and enable the signature check.
