Use this guide to deploy the SysAid Browser Extension to Microsoft Edge on managed Windows devices. This deployment method follows the same general pattern as Chrome deployment, but uses the Microsoft Edge policy namespace, the Edge store URL, and an additional policy that allows installation from other stores when required.
Important:
Automatic installation works only on work computers your IT team manages, which use a company account. On personal computers or any device signed in with a personal account, you'll need to manually install it
Before you start
You’ll need your SysAid Browser Extension ID and Token.
To find them:
In SysAid, go to License Manager > Applications Discovery.
Click Manage Connections in the top right corner.
Under Browser Extension, click Setup to see the ID and Token.
Deploy the extension
Please note:
The example below is shown as a .reg file. The same settings can be applied via Intune or Group Policy.
To deploy the extension, apply these three keys and replace the ID and Token values with those for your SysAid account:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; Allow extensions from other stores (required for a CWS extension)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"ControlDefaultStateOfAllowExtensionFromOtherStoresSettingEnabled"=dword:00000001
; Force-install
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExtensionInstallForcelist]
"1"="YOUR_EXTENSION_ID;https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx"
; Token
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\YOUR_EXTENSION_ID\policy]
"token"="YOUR_TOKEN_VALUE"Verify the setup
To verify the setup:
Open Microsoft Edge on a user's computer. Go to edge://policy.
Look for the ExtensionInstallForcelist or ExtensionSettings policy. If your deployment was successful, you will see the Extension ID listed here under the policy value.
Go to edge://extensions.
You should see the extension actively running.
It will feature a small briefcase icon or say "Managed by your organization".
