If you want to manage the Google Chrome browser for enterprise with VMware Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM), here is a good working template.
Recommended is to deploy the Google Chrome browser for enterprise, which can be found here: https://chromeenterprise.google/browser/download/
This DEM config file will capture all important Google Chrome settings, but still maintain a relative small .ZIP archive. Although it could still grow, so keep an eye on the filesize.
I have tested with the official 'Roaming Profile support' for Google Chrome (https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/?policy=RoamingProfileSupportEnabled) but this is too limited for most customers, since this will miss important settings like cookies.
I don't recommended enabling DirectFlex for this application, since the Export will always fail because of some strange behavior by Chrome.
How to implement:
Create a new DEM config file using the DEM management console and just copy-paste these lines:
===
[IncludeRegistryTrees]
HKCU\Software\Google
[IncludeFiles]
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\First Run
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State
<AppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\profile.pb
[IncludeFolderTrees]
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
[ExcludeFolderTrees]
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Code Cache
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\GPUCache
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\IndexedDB
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Service Worker\CacheStorage
<LocalAppData>\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Service Worker\ScriptCache
===
The end result should look like this:
