Parameters

Label

Description

Plugins To Check

List of comma separated plugins names to check if they are installed. Plugin names must be provided for exact match. To check the status and/or version compliance you can use three different formats. To check only the version, 'name' ('version'). To check only the status, 'name' (Enabled/Disabled). Or to check both, 'name' ('version'; Enabled/Disabled). E.g. Gmail, Docs (Enabled), Google Drive (34.67.0.2; Disabled), Chrome Media Router (7719.805.0.3)

Strict Compliance

When 'false', the compliance is met when all provided plugins match the installed ones. When 'true', the compliance is met whet all plugins listed match with the installed ones and those are the only plugins installed

Outputs

Label	Type	Description
Plugin Compliance	Bool	Returns if device is compliant
Missing Plugins	StringList	List of expected plugins that are not installed
Incorrect Version Plugins	StringList	List of plugins with a different version than the desired one
Incorrect Status Plugins	StringList	List of plugins with a different status than the desired one
Other Plugins	StringList	List of installed plugins not listed in PluginsToCheck

Restrictions

The Chrome version installed should be 65 or onwards.
If Chrome 'Preferences' file can't be parsed, the status of all plugins will be unknown.
If the installed status of the plugin is unknown and the input enforce an specific status, the result will not be compliant.

Further Information

The output of Get Chrome Plugins can be copied and pasted directly into PluginsToCheck input parameter, since both use the same format.
If the input enforces an specific version, it will only be compliant if the installed version is exactly the same. A higher version will be not compliant.
