Chrome knows it should roam profiles, but it doesn't

Hi community,

we're trying to get chrome to roam it's profile to OneDrive via Intune.

We:

  • Distributed the chrome GPO.

  • Enabled roaming profiles

./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Google~Policy~Cat_Google~googlechrome/RoamingProfileSupportEnabled
<enabled/>

  • Set the roaming profile directory:
    ./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Google~Policy~Cat_Google~googlechrome/RoamingProfileLocation
    <enabled/>
    <data id="RoamingProfileLocation" value="%ONEDRIVE%\Google\Chrome"/>

According to my knowledge, Chrome knows it should roam the data:

In the registry at

I see the expected registry keys

But still the profile is at the default location. Even after a fresh installation of Windows where the policy is applied before chrome is first started (it gets installed during Windows OOBE), the profile is created at its default location: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\

After deletion of that profile, it is being recreated in the same location.

Chrome version is 92.0.4515.159 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Would anybody have an idea what We are missing?

Thanks!

@SteffenSchmidt-4671 Thanks for posting in our Q&A. From your description, I know that the chrome profile is deployed successfully, but it doesn't work. If there is any misunderstanding, feel free to let us know.

Please understand this feature is more related to Google. The profile has been successfully deployed by intune and the registry values have been configured. Given this situation, it is suggested to try to contact Google chrome to get more effective help. Here is the support link:

Hope it will help.
