As we know Bookmarks are important when we install new browsers, especially when in the corporate environment. This will help employees to have all the information in one place. In this article, I will explain how to setup Google Chrome bookmarks using Intune.

The step-by-step guide will be easy to follow and you can make necessary changes per your specific requirements.

There are a couple of steps to follow:

• Preparation
• Configuration & Deployment
• Testing

Preparation

For the preparation we have to create a script in any text editor tool, I will use Notepad ++ but you can create in normal Notepad as well

[
{ “toplevel_name”: “Internal portals” },
{ “url”: “https://google.com”, “name”: “Google” },
{ “url”: “https://suniltechexplorer.com”, “name”: “SunilTechExplorer” },
{ “name”: “Microsoft 365”, “children”: [
{ “url”: “https://portal.office.com”, “name”: “Office 365” },
{ “url”: “https://xxxxx.sharepoint.com”, “name”: “SharePoint” },
{ “url”: “https://Intune.microsoft.com/”, “name”: “Intune Portal” } ] }
]

You can create a child folder in bookmarks as per the category required.

Configuration and Deployment

Configuration in Intune is similar to our old articles

• Go to the Microsoft Intune portal
• Click on Devices, Windows and go to configuration
• Create New Configuration
• Give proper Name and description as required
• Click Next
• In the Configuration setting, add setting.
• In Setting Picker, search for Bookmarks
• You will able to see Google Chrome Bookmarks
• Select the Manage Bookmarks setting
• Under the settings section, the Google Bookmarks setting will be added
• Here you need to add the script which we created earlier and enable the option for Manage Bookmarks

• On the next screen, add scope or leave it as default and click on Next.
• Assign this policy to a particular group or all devices
• Now, review the policy and click on Create.

That’s it!! The policy has been created and applied for targeted systems/users.

Testing

In this, simply check which system policy has been applied. Go to that system and restart Google Chrome Browser and Bookmarks. It will show up there.
