MicrosoftWill this be an "optional" update that is eventually mandatory as it was for Microsoft's approach to Flash? Something else?
It would be nice to know exactly what methodology will be used to disable IE. Initially this FAQ gave the impression it would be a "Big Bang" approach through a Windows Update (so it was easy to assume this would part of the June CU). Back in April the verbiage here changed to say "progressively redirected to Microsoft Edge over the following months, and ultimately disabled via Windows Update".
My organization is well poised to support this because we have been using IE Mode for several years, implemented the "Send all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List to Microsoft Edge" policy about a year ago, tested our most critical applications with the "Disable Internet Explorer Policy" enabled, and even implemented that setting for about %15 of our endpoints. We had hoped to have it implemented on %100 of endpoints before June 15 but for other reasons this did not pan out. So at this point it is just about making sure our Helpdesk and Management teams are educated on the mechanics and timing.
