How to Update Google Chrome for Free with SCCM Custom Catalog

If you're looking for a hassle-free way to update your Google Chrome browser, you're in luck! With Patch Connect Plus and SCCM, you can easily add a custom catalog to ensure your browser stays up-to-date. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of obtaining a free trial version of Patch Connect Plus and setting up a custom catalog for Google Chrome.

To get started, head over to the ManageEngine website and request a free trial version of Patch Connect Plus. You may need to provide your corporate or private domain email ID to receive the confirmation email with your unique custom catalog URL. Once you've received the email, navigate to your SCCM console and click on the 'Add Custom Catalog' button from the ribbon menu.

In the Third-Party Software Updates Custom Catalogs Wizard, enter the following details:

* Description: Mainly for testing Chrome updates with SCCM custom catalog

* Download URL: Your unique URL from ManageEngine (as mentioned in your confirmation email)

* And click Next, Next, and close the wizard to complete the 'Add Custom Catalog' step.

Now that you've set up your custom catalog, it's time to download Google Chrome. Visit the official Google Chrome download page and click the Download Chrome button. Note that there is no 32-bit version of Google Chrome available for download.

Once downloaded, follow these steps to install Google Chrome:

* For Debian/Ubuntu: Right-click on the deb file and select 'Open with' -> 'Gdebi Package Installer'. Then, select the 'deb (for Debian/Ubuntu)' option, and click the Accept and Install button.

Alternatively, you can use SCCM's 3rd party updates options to save the Chrome browser updated. Google provides no free Chrome catalog for security reasons, so using a custom catalog is the most reliable way to keep your browser up-to-date.

By following these steps, you'll be able to update your Google Chrome browser with ease and ensure that it remains secure and safe. Don't forget to cancel your trial subscription before it expires to avoid any charges.
