There isn’t a way directly through ConfigMgr but I wrote a powershell script
that you can deploy with CM. The script inventories the extensions and outputs
the list of Extension ID to a .txt file for each PC. Unfortunately, that only
gets you half of the way though. With the extension ID, you have to then go to
the AppStore and figure out what app it is. I never could figure out a way to
automate that part.
Create a share on a server that all PC’s would have access to called
ChromeExtensions and push this out to all PC’s with Chrome. Once it runs, it’ll
create the txt file on the share you created in the format you see below. From
there, you can do you lookup on the AppStore individually or what I ended up
doing was used Powershell to get the content of each .txt file and put them all
into one big spreadsheet.
If (Test-Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Google\Chrome\User Data") {
$ExtensionFolders = Get-ChildItem -Path
"$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Google\Chrome\User Data" -Recurse | Where {$_.Name -eq
"Extensions"} | Get-ChildItem | select -ExpandProperty Name
If (($ExtensionFolders).count -gt 0) {
$ExtensionFolders | Out-File
"\\<server>\ChromeExtensions\$env:COMPUTERNAME`_$env:USERNAME`_ChromeExtensionIDs.txt"
-Force
}
}

I don't know of a way other than doing a survey of employees. I know you can
find out the CRX file and I know that would run in a different memory space so
maybe there would be a way with a Software Monitoring Rule?
There are Group Policy Templates to Blacklist/Whitelist and deploy extensions
and other options with that, that you will probably want to check out. Also be
sure to set up AppLocker, otherwise users can continue to install the consumer
versions of Google Chrome and get around such restrictions.

Is there a way to inventory Google Chrome extensions and plugins with SCCM
2007? My client is planning to deploy Chrome Enterprise to all users as an
optional alternative browser; their security team is trying to review
extensions and plugins for allow/disallow considerations. They currently have
a number of users with the personal version of Chrome installed, and want to
know if we can determine which extensions/plugins are currently installed for
Chrome users.
