@LewisLebentz Thank you!!!! Any tips on Zero touch deploy?
the script still looks to be working well.
Dumb question, this script will enable a device running chrome and is an older version to update.
I understand the smart group and the extension attribute inclusion to achieve this.
I just wanted to verify my thinking.
Thank you for all the hard work!
Does anyone have an updated download link for Chrome?
https://dl.google.com/chrome/mac/stable/GGRO/googlechrome.dmg is downloading 98.0.4758.102 instead of the current version (106.0.5249.61 at the time of this post).
Will this work with the m1 devices? Also I see it is python below the shebang but I thought macs used python3. No?
I found that when I ran the following script on an M1 device I was able to attain the chrome version 106.x.x.x and not downgraded to v98.x.x.x
I have not tested it on an Intel Mac yet but will. Tonight I tested this on 2 devices, wiping them and letting them instal version 104... then ran this script about a dozen times with great results each time!

#url='https://dl.google.com/chrome/mac/stable/GGRO/googlechrome.dmg' This url goes to a downgraded chrome version 98.x.x.x, so it is commented out.

Do you know if https://dl.google.com/chrome/mac/universal/stable/CHFA/googlechrome.dmg will continue to have the latest Chrome version or will the link need to be updated everytime?

@kbednar I found that link url='https://dl.google.com/chrome/mac/universal/stable/CHFA/googlechrome.dmg' works, however it said that it could not update.
But it does work after the user selects Enable Automatic updates in the Pop-up (drop-Down) window that appears.
