Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.108 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Enable Roaming Profiles via GPO (https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#RoamingProfileSupportEnabled) and define a profile location (https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#RoamingProfileLocation). 2. Launch Chrome, change something (e.g. create a bookmark). 3. Check if the changes have been saved to the location defined in the policies or in the standard path (%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\) What is the expected behavior? Quoting the Chromium Policy List regarding RoamingProfileSupportEnabled: "If you enable this setting, the settings stored in Google Chrome profiles like bookmarks, autofill data, passwords, etc. will also be written to a file stored in the Roaming user profile folder or a location specified by the Administrator through the Google Chrome policy. Enabling this policy disables cloud sync." What went wrong? It was stored in the regular profile path (%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\). Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 63.0.3239.108 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: - Tested on Windows 10 1607 (Build 1493.1884), Windows 7 (Build 7601: SP1) and Citrix. - Maybe there is another policy interfering with the Roaming Profile, therefore I uploaded a JSON export. My most obvious guess was the SyncDisabled. I have abandoned this thought after reading the SyncDisabled description: "This policy should not be enabled when RoamingProfileSupportEnabled policy is set to enabled as that feature shares the same client side functionality. The Google-hosted synchronization is disabled in this case completely." (source: https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#SyncDisabled). - This has been observed by other users: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chrome-admins/IKLGAStKOzU/yEIwe6pgBAAJ . |
