Google ChromeOS Administrator Exam - Topic 3 Question 9 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's ChromeOS Administrator exam

Question #: 9
Topic #: 3

To allow remote users to securely connect to an internal network, the organization you're supporting is using a VPN. The organization would like you to configure the ChromeOS devices so that the Android VPN clients deployed are automatically configured with the correct hostname. How should you configure this in the Admin Console according to Google best practice?

ADownload the Android app on a ChromeOS device, add the hostname manually then re-upload the app in the organization's private Google Play Store and deploy it lo all ChromeOS devices

BContact the VPN provider and ask them to provide you with a custom installable client with the correct configuration pre-configured Then deploy that installable

CAdd a managed configuration using JSON to the Android app

DUpload a JSON file with the configuration into the Google Play Store

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, E

Create Dedicated Enrollment Accounts:Create separate enrollment accounts for each location,placing them in the respective OUs where the converted devices should be enrolled.

Enable Policy:Turn on the 'Place ChromeOS device in user organization' policy.This ensures devices are automatically enrolled into the correct OU based on the enrollment account used.

Enroll Devices:Use the dedicated enrollment account for each location to enroll the converted devices.This allows for organized management based on location.

Option E:

Distribute USB Drives:Prepare USB flash drives with the ChromeOS Flex image and distribute them to the different locations.

Manual Conversion:Instruct local personnel or a service partner to manually convert each device using the provided USB drives.This method is suitable when network bandwidth is limited and doesn't rely on existing endpoint management infrastructure.

Reasons for not choosing other options:

Option B:The Recovery Tool is primarily used for creating recovery media for ChromeOS devices,not converting other operating systems.

Option C:PXE boot is a network-based installation method,not ideal for locations with limited bandwidth.

Option D:While zero-touch enrollment (ZTE) streamlines enrollment,it requires pre-provisioning devices with the vendor or reseller,which might not be feasible in this scenario.

By combining options A and E, you can efficiently convert and enroll devices in multiple locations with limited network resources and no existing management systems.

D is not the best practice, stick with C for sure!

Wait, can you really just add a JSON file? Sounds too easy.

I’m a bit confused about whether we should manually configure the hostname or use a managed configuration. I need to double-check the best practice for this.

I feel like contacting the VPN provider for a custom client could work, but it seems like it might take longer than just using the Admin Console.

I remember a practice question where we had to configure VPN settings for Android devices, and I think uploading a JSON file was mentioned.

I think we might need to add a managed configuration using JSON to the Android app, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best approach.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Does it mean we need to configure the ChromeOS devices or the Android VPN clients? I'll need to read through the options carefully to make sure I understand the requirements.

Okay, I've got this. The answer is option C - add a managed configuration using JSON to the Android app. That way, the hostname will be pre-configured and automatically deployed to the ChromeOS devices. Simple!

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The question mentions ChromeOS devices, but the options seem to be focused on Android. I'll need to double-check the Google best practices for this specific scenario.

This seems like a pretty straightforward question. I think the key is to configure the Android VPN client with the correct hostname, and the Google best practice is to use a managed configuration with JSON.

D would be my guess, uploading a JSON file directly to the Play Store. Seems more straightforward than the other options.
