How to deploy Cisco WebEx Edge Extension for Enterprise

[AndrewPorter37943]

Hi,

We are trying to join Events which wont work via the desktop application WebEx Meetings and only work with the web browser. If you add the Cisco WebEx Extension to Edge then it works. How can I deploy this extension via SCCM, PowerShell or Group Policy to 10,000 devices? Or are there any other ideas? Users are blocked from running files from the internet and also from adding extensions and the Microsoft Store.

Thanks,

Andrew

Here is the answer.

You can use the following technologies to deploy Edge Extensions:

1. Group Policy: ADMX setting ‘Control which extensions are installed silently’

2. Intune: ADMX setting ‘Control which extensions are installed silently’

3. SCCM: Using Configuration Items

Basically you have:

1. Create an entry for the extension in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExtensionInstallForcelist

2. The value is the code of the extension, which is the end part of the URL. For WebEx the URL is https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/cisco-webex-extension/ikdddppdhmjcdfgilpnbkdeggoiicjgo so the code you have to add is ikdddppdhmjcdfgilpnbkdeggoiicjgo
