Which items in Chrome will, and will not work when non-domain joined?
If you use the Chrome Pak (with Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager (formerly PolicyPak) Application Manager) or the Chrome ADMX settings (with Endpoint Policy Manager Admin Templates Manager) Chrome may not apply all settings as expected when the computer is non-domain joined.
In our testing, here are the settings which will and will not work when non-domain joined.
