A "warning conflict" in `chrome://policy` indicates that multiple policy sources are trying to control the same setting. Since the browsers were previously managed by Group Policy, there's likely a conflict between the cloud policy and the local Group Policy. The best way to resolve this is to **check and configure the precedence order** of policy sources. Ensure that Cloud Policy is set to have the desired precedence over Group Policy if that's the intention. Restarting the computer might apply existing policies but won't resolve the conflict in precedence. Adjusting a "policy merge list setting" is not a standard term for resolving this type of conflict. Re-enrolling might give a fresh start but doesn't address the underlying conflict in policy sources.

===========

A significant increase in requested permissions in a new version of a critical extension poses a security risk. The most prudent action is to block the updated extension until the administrator can verify the necessity of the new permissions or until a less permissive version is released. Version pinning (option D) only delays the issue and doesn't address the potential risk in the new version. Blocking specific hosts (option A) doesn't limit the extension's overall capabilities. Customizing permissions (option C) is generally not possible for Chrome extensions managed through the Google Admin console.

===========

If an extension that is force-installed via policy is unpublished from the Chrome Web Store, the Chrome browser will detect this status and automatically disable the extension on managed devices. This is a security mechanism to prevent the continued use of potentially compromised or no longer maintained extensions.

===========

While the exact percentage isn't explicitly stated in the provided material, industry best practices for software deployment, including browser updates, recommend testing in a Beta environment with a representative but limited subset of users before a full rollout. A common recommendation for Beta testing is around 5% of the user base. This provides sufficient feedback and issue detection without impacting the majority of users.

===========

The Google Admin console allows administrators to control extension permissions. By configuring the "Permissions and URL access" policy, the administrator can block extensions that request specific permissions, such as the ability to set a proxy. This is a centralized and effective way toenforce the security policy. Remotely connecting to each device (option B) is not scalable. Blocking all extensions (option C) might be too restrictive. Relying on users to uninstall (option D) is not enforceable.

===========

The Chrome release cycle for the Stable channel is approximately every four weeks. This consistent schedule allows administrators to anticipate and plan for new feature deployments and potential compatibility testing. While security updates can occur more frequently and are often released on Tuesdays, major version updates follow this roughly monthly cadence.

===========

The study guide emphasizes using enrollment tokens generated in the Google Admin console for enrolling browsers. When using an MDM solution, the most efficient and recommended method is to generate a single enrollment token and then deploy it to the devices through the MDM software. This allows for automated and scalable enrollment. Bulk enrollment features in the Admin console are typically for direct enrollment, not through MDM. Individual tokens or keys would be inefficient for a large deployment.

===========

The "Managed browsers detail" page in the Google Admin console provides specific information about individual managed Chrome browser instances. This includes details about the profiles associated with that browser, such as the signed-in users and their management status. Chrome log events might contain some profile-related information but are more focused on actions. The"Managed devices" section primarily focuses on ChromeOS devices. The "Chrome Insights report" provides a high-level overview rather than detailed profile information for a specific browser instance.

===========

To prevent a child OU from inheriting a policy set at a parent OU, the administrator needs to configure the policy within the child OU itself and set its inheritance status to "Locally applied." This explicitly overrides the inherited policy from the parent with a specific setting for the child OU. Setting it to locally applied at the parent would not prevent inheritance. Turning off inheritance entirely might not be desired for other policies, and "Child > Parent" is the default precedence when inheritance is enabled.

===========

The key advantage of using the Google Admin console for managing Chrome updates in a multi-platform environment is its ability to apply policies consistently across Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. Group Policy (GPMC) is a Windows-specific tool and cannot natively manage Chrome updates on other operating systems. The Google Admin console provides a centralized and platform-agnostic approach to Chrome management.

===========

To target all updates within the 129 major version, the administrator should use the target version prefix `129.`. This tells Chrome to stay within the 129 branch and accept minor updates (like 129.0.x.y to 129.1.x.y) but not to upgrade to the next major version (130). The other options are not the correct syntax for specifying a major version prefix for target updates.

===========

To minimize disruption while ensuring updates are applied, an engineer can configure a "Relaunch window" in the Relaunch notification settings. This allows users to be prompted to restart within a specific timeframe that is less likely to interrupt their critical work hours, giving them more control over when the restart occurs after an update. Disabling automatic updates (option A) would compromise security. Adding a quiet period (option B) only suppresses notifications, not the forced restart. Setting the auto-update check policy to occur during core work hours (option C) affects when updates are downloaded, not when the restart occurs.
