Was out sick almost the whole week, last week. Watched "Happy!", season 1 on Netflix and caught up on Season 2 on the SYFY Roku app. What a really weird show. I would say it has that comedic gore stylings like Ash vs The Evil Dead.
Also, watched the entire first season of Black Summer on Netflix. Kind of a The Walking Dead type. Interesting and well-done.
I guess I can create a logon script that runs a robocopy to copy the shortcuts from a share to the users' desktops.
Managed to create a shortcut manually with the Windows wizard. Right-click>New shortcut. I modified the syntax to exlude the quotes around the proxy server and removed the http://. This is the syntax I put in the path field:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --incognito --proxy-server=squid.domain.com:3128 --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\ChromeProxy01\User Data"
After finishing, it automatically filled in the "Start in" field with
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application"
It also grabbed the Chrome icon.
Unfortunately, I still can't get the shortcut created using GPO. It just won't create it.
OK. Finally. It pops up briefly and closes as the Chrome windows opens. The bat file would be -
@ECHO OFF
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --incognito --proxy-server="http://squid.domain.com:3128" --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\ChromeProxy01\User Data"
Exit
If anyone can figure out a way to get a regular shortcut to run with those parameters, I would appreciate that.
OK. Finally got it to show up. I had to move the shortcut creation to Computer configuration and set the "Location" to "All Users Desktop" for it to show up. However, when running the bat file, it still opens a CMD window. This one is all blank. I tried adding exit to the script, but it doesn't close the window.
I tried replace, create and update and also turning off item level targeting and setting security filtering to Auth users. Still doesn't work.
@JaredBusch Correct, I did not state that. However, my OP shows the version as 4.2. So, the issue is that I can't install the latest version available on Fedora. I will update the OP.
@JaredBusch Maybe it's because that is 3.0, not 4.2?

I created a script that I placed on a server share. I then manually created a shortcut to it on the desktop. When running, it launches Chrome in icognito and connects to the proxy server correctly. However, the CMD windows stays open and says
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.I have tried adding @ECHO OFF and used PUSHD to create a mapped drive to the sever share, but it still does that. Any suggestions?
Have you tried creating the shortcut using Group Policy Preferences?
I just tried that. It isn't creating the shortcut. It says it is applying the policy, but shows under computer configuration, even though I have the shortcut in the User Configuration.
@scottalanmiller said in Zabbix - Errors Installing on Fedora 29:
A quick search definitely suggests that current Fedora or Ubuntu are not options. Only LTS releases are supported. And if you Google it, any search for Fedora just shows people using CentOS.
That would be it. I will set it up on CentOS. Thanks for the info.

@DustinB3403 Thanks. I will try that out.
@DustinB3403 OK. So first create script, then create GPO with shortcut to the script to set on users' desktops.
Been running 19.x for a week and a half (maybe longer) and have not had any issues with Webroot.
I also tried creating a shortcut manually and adding that path. It doesn't let you save the shortcut.
@DustinB3403 said in Creating a Shortcut for Chrome Incognito with Proxy Settings:
You can create shortcuts with GPO, this I know for sure.
I'd have to find where it is as it's been a while since I've had to do this, but it is doable.
Yeah, I tried to get it going with a GPO, but it isn't putting the shortcut on the desktop. Not sure if it is the "path" that is the problem or something else. I thought I would ask prior to getting too deep in the weeds.
I am trying think of the best way to have a shortcut for launching Chrome in Icognito mode with specific proxy settings. Thanks to @JaredBusch for this idea. The only way I have found to get it working is running it in CLI. I can create a shortcut to a bat file. Is there a way to make it an actual shortcut (.lnk) with arguments like in GPP/GPO?
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --incognito --proxy-server="http://squid.domain.com:3128" --user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\ChromeProxy01\User Data"

I was trying to figure out why the image was worth posting lol
@Obsolesce I will have to check to see if anyone is actually using it by choice. If not, I will look into doing that.
Resolved - Don't try running 4.2 on Fedora. As @JaredBusch shows below, 3.0 can be done.
I am trying to install Zabbix on Fedora 29. I don't know if using Fedora is the reason I am getting these errors, but thought I would ask. I am running the installation and get broken dependencies. I tried dnf (and yum).
