Edit the chrome msi file name as appropriate in .bat. This should also disable auto update but i had issues with disabling auto update using batch so i have created an AutoIT script to make it work every single time it runs- SCCM 2012 R2.

Details about AutoIT


Create a AutoIT Script and compile it. Create an Application in SCCM 2012 using Script and deploy it.

Opt("TrayIconHide", 1)
RunWait( "install.cmd")
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "taskkill /f /im GoogleUpdate.exe ", "", @SW_HIDE)
$svccfg = "sc config gupdate start= disabled"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /C " & $svccfg, "", @SW_HIDE)
$svccfg = "sc config gupdatem start= disabled"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /C " & $svccfg, "", @SW_HIDE)
FileDelete("C:\Program Files\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe")
FileDelete("C:\Program Files\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe")
Exit
