6. Click the Administrative Templates folder under the Computer Configuration Header
7. If done properly, there should be one (or more) Microsoft Edge folders present

2. Double Click on the Extensions folder within the Microsoft Edge folder
3. Right click on 'Control Which Extensions Can Be Installed Silently' and choose 'Edit'

Part 2: Setting Up Your LibraryID on the System
Step 4 - Tell Nomad your LibraryID to Allow It to be Automatically Detected
1. Using the Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc) or another method, create the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\aegommgkkknipcpebmcbepdapjdojiji\policy]
The result should resemble the following:
2. Next, create a new ‘String Value’ called ‘libraryId’. This can be done using the following command line:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\aegommgkkknipcpebmcbepdapjdojiji\policy" /v libraryId /t REG_SZ /d <ENTER YOUR LIBRARY ID> /f
However, you can also elect to do this manually, via the Group Policy Management Console, Regedit, and so on. Whatever you’re most comfortable working with!
**IMPORTANT!!** - Please note that ‘libraryId’ has a capital ‘I’ in ID, and that this is case sensitive!
The result should look like the following:
Please be sure to replace the sample instructions ‘ENTER YOUR LIBRARY ID (e.g. 1234)’ with your actual libraryId.
Congratulations! LibKey Nomad is now managed and configured for Microsoft Edge using Windows Group Policy!
