TMA-CHROME-2.7.1

Ensure 'Enable Google Cloud Print Proxy' is set to 'Disabled'

HighLevel 1Automatedchrome

Description

This setting enables Google Chrome to act as a proxy between Google Cloud Print and legacy printers connected to the machine. The recommended state for this setting is: Disabled (0) Rationale: Disabling this option will prevent users from printing documents from unmanaged devices to an organization's printer. Audit reads the Group Policy registry value and prints 'compliant', 'unset' (policy not configured, reported as FAIL) or the non-compliant value. Registry value: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome:CloudPrintProxyEnabled (REG_DWORD); compliant when it is 0. Remediation writes 0 locally; in a domain set it through the ADMX so Group Policy does not revert it.

How it is checked

Audit method: Windows registry

registry

$v = (Get-ItemProperty -Path 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome' -Name 'CloudPrintProxyEnabled' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).'CloudPrintProxyEnabled'; if ($null -eq $v) { 'unset' } elseif (($null -ne $v -and @(0) -contains [int64]$v)) { 'compliant' } else { "non-compliant: $v" }

Expected output: compliant

How it is fixed

Fix method: Shell command

shell

$p = 'Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome'; if (-not (Test-Path -Path $p)) { New-Item -Path $p -Force | Out-Null }; New-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name 'CloudPrintProxyEnabled' -Value 0 -PropertyType DWord -Force | Out-Null
