This month, we hosted our first, dedicated Chrome Enterprise Upgrade onboarding webinar led by Emiliano from the ChromeOS team to help new IT admins. The session focused on essential, step-by-step actions within the Google Admin Console to quickly set up, manage, and secure their Chromebook fleet.
The workshop covered the critical foundational steps for IT teams:
- Intro to the Admin Console We covered off some of the first tasks to be completed and got familiar with the management interface.
- Domain Verification We walked through this critical requirement to unlock advanced identity and management features.
- Organizational Units (OUs) Learn to create OUs for devices and users, which is the key to applying unique policies based on location, role, or use case.
- User & Device Enrollment Best practises for adding new devices and users to OUs.
- App Deployment & Management Admins learned how to centrally manage applications.
- Policy Configuration The platform separates policies into two mutually exclusive areas: Device Settings and User & Browser Settings. We discussed the difference between these and their practical uses.
- Contacting Support Support Finally then we covered off the various channels to get support including this very community!
