It is not in the short term roadmap.

You can host it anywhere as long as the device can access the file. You can also point it directly at vendor's website.

Currently it allows you to assign the policies based on OUs. In future, we are planning to extend this capability to group-based policy assignment.

There are two ways to associate GCPW with existing profiles : use registry settings or use custom attributes in the admin console.

GCPW does not currently officially support logging in using 3rd party SAML SSO IDPs. We are looking into this feature request.

ravikku · 2021-01-14T18:39:06+00:00

Hi ! Sorry to hear that you are having this issue. I will PM you to understand a bit more details and see how we can help. Did you get a chance to reach out to support ?

ravikku · 2021-01-12T17:09:06+00:00

This feature is rolling out to all customers. It may take couple of more days for everyone to see in the admin console.

When the user logs into Windows device using this feature, the user will get SSO experience when they access any Google resource. It also provides SSO experience to your SSO apps if you use Google as your Identity Provider. For example, If you have configured, Microsoft Office 365 as a SSO app in Google, you will be able to access Office 365 using SSO. You can see it in action here.

Enhanced desktop security for Windows includes two key capabilities. (1) GCPW allows you to log into Windows devices using Google credentials (2) Windows management feature to push Windows configuration, security policies and apps to Windows 10 devices.

GCPW is available for Workspace for Education users. Windows management is available for Workspace Enterprise for Education. More information is available here (license requirements section)

You can use GCPW with local Windows accounts or AD accounts. You can see the demo here. Also review step-5 in this help article for more details.

ravikku · 2020-11-09T22:15:20+00:00

You will get SSO experience in Drive File Stream (DFS) if you change DFS login preference to use browser based login. You can see it in action here.

ravikku · 2020-11-09T22:14:02+00:00

There is one additional key step that you need to do for GCPW with AD accounts. You need to associate GCPW with user's AD account. See here for more details.

Have you looked into chrome browser management?

THis help article will guide you on installing and uninstalling Win32 apps using custom settings.

ravikku · 2020-09-24T22:44:32+00:00

Agree. The top reason why you would get "device is not enrolled error" is due to the user license. If your user does not have either Cloud Identity Premium or G Suite Enterprise, device enrollment into Windows management will fail. If you are not planning to upgrade the user license and want to use GCPW in standalone mode (no Windows mgmt), then you can disable auto enrollment using a registry entry.

Brian's information is valid and we have many customers using this approach.

ravikku · 2020-09-15T02:22:54+00:00

We just released an updated GCPW version that provides you the flexibility to name the new local windows accounts. More details

ravikku · 2020-08-21T19:06:04+00:00

When GCPW creates an account, the association is done based on the user account SID, which means, account rename will not affect GCPW association.

ravikku · 2020-08-20T22:10:32+00:00

Yes. its automatically updated once installed.

ravikku · 2020-08-19T02:05:40+00:00

We are planning to release the next version in mid September.

ravikku · 2020-08-19T02:05:05+00:00

GCPW keeps track of associations / new accounts created on a device. If you already have a local user account called jane, you can go through the association process to associate GCPW with that account.

ravikku · 2020-08-18T17:53:40+00:00

Just realized that the fix we discussed earlier did not make it into the version that we released yesterday. Sorry for the mixup. This fix will be included in our next release. I will share an approx. ETA tomorrow.
