        It's So fast to deploy. Totally worth it.

          I tried getting one going a couple years ago and still have a dormant VM on one of my hosts.

            Now that the bulk of this project is done, I might be able to dedicate some more time to getting Saltstack going. Although, I just found out they are planning an e-commerce site launch for one of our brands and didn't include me in the initial phases. #ThisPlace

              SaltStack is awesome for a one man army.

                The fewer people you have, the more important efficiency is!

                          I am trying to see if I can use PS to create the shortcuts. Not sure how to get this path to work with the quotes it needs.

                          "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --incognito --proxy-server=squid1.domain.com:3128 --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Squid1\User Data"
                          

                          This is the template I am using.

                          # Create a Shortcut with Windows PowerShell
                          $TargetFile = "$env:SystemRoot\System32\notepad.exe"
                          $ShortcutFile = "$env:Public\Desktop\Notepad.lnk"
                          $WScriptShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
                          $Shortcut = $WScriptShell.CreateShortcut($ShortcutFile)
                          $Shortcut.TargetPath = $TargetFile
                          $Shortcut.Save()

                            $Shortcut.Save()
                            

                            Took me a minute, but got it working. The template you are using doesn't account for arguments. Give this a shot:

                            $TargetFile = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
                            $args = '--incognito --proxy-server=squid1.domain.com:3128 --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Squid1\User Data"'
                            $ShortcutFile = "$env:UserProfile\Desktop\chrome1.lnk"
                            $WScriptShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
                            $Shortcut = $WScriptShell.CreateShortcut($ShortcutFile)
                            $Shortcut.TargetPath = $TargetFile
                            $Shortcut.Arguments = $args
                            $Shortcut.Save()

                              The arguments is what was needed. Thanks!

                                Circling back to GPP. Thanks to @FiyaFly , who was able to help me out with the syntax for the fields. Do not use quotes in the target or start in paths.
                                Target Path:

                                C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
                                

                                Arguments:

                                --incognito --proxy-server=squid1.domain.com:3128 --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Squid1\User Data"
                                

                                Start in:

                                C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\
                                

                                I also used the create option and desktop (standard, not all users desktop).
