chrome managed by your organization

[pcpete]

Are there any standards ways to remove "managed by your organization" in chorme. I am guessing this is malware related


I found a batch script that removes group policy, but that did not help in my case

I used a patch script designed to remove policies without avail. I will look manually into it

Isn't that from Google's G-Suite where everyone is logging in from the same domain?

I have that too and still haven't found a way to remove it.

This message pops up whenever Chrome sees anything under either HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome, and the quick solution is just to remove (or rename if you're feeling cautious) both keys using REGEDIT.

I've had to do this a few times lately when migrating users out of G Suite and it's worked perfectly every time.

(I have no idea what'll happen if the machine is still using G Suite - you're on your own there!)

thanks. I had one under machine, but even as admin I could not delete it. I forget the exact error, but it was something like access denied

Did you try running regedit as admin? I'd also give an offline regedit tool a try as well.

I found something under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome.

PassworManagerEnabled REG_DWORD 0x00000000

This makes sense since I'm using the LastPass Chrome extension.

Yup as admin

You need to go into Permissions and take ownership.

Found this one for the Chrome thing, can't remember where. Removes all Group Policies. Put it in a .bat file.

@echo off

IF NOT EXIST %WINDIR%\System32\GroupPolicy goto next

echo Deleting GroupPolicy folder...
RD /S /Q "%WINDIR%\System32\GroupPolicy" || goto error
echo.

:next
IF NOT EXIST %WINDIR%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers goto next2

echo Deleting GroupPolicyUsers folder...
RD /S /Q "%WINDIR%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers" || goto error
echo.

:next2
gpupdate /force

pause
exit

:error
echo.
echo An unexpected error has occurred. ¨Did you run as administrator (right click, run as administrator)?
echo.
pause
exit

Please do not run that script, that's grade A stupid!

gpupdate /force is all that's required!

There are also a number of Extensions, most security/privacy related, that can cause this to appear in Chromium based browsers.
