Part 2: Setup your libraryId on the system

Step 4: Tell Nomad your libraryId so it can be automatically detected

Using Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc) or another method, create the following registry key:

[HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\lkoeejijapdihgbegpljiehpnlkadljb\policy]

The result should resemble the following:

Then create a new "String Value" called "libraryId"

The result should resemble the following:

Please replace the sample instructions "ENTER YOUR LIBRARY ID (e.g. 1234)" with your actual libraryId.

Congratulations! LibKey Nomad is now managed and configured using Windows Group policy.

Note: The LibKey Nomad extension icon will be green once the Library Id has been successfully added. If no Library Id, or a non-existent Library Id is added, the extension icon will be gray. Please validate your Library Id is active before distributing the extension to your network.

Note: Additionally, a Library Id configured correctly through group policy will suppress the LibKey Nomad initial library selection page on install.
