How to open office files in Edge browser without downloading
Hi. In December I asked Microsoft support about possibility to open office files in Edge without downloading. It was working on some webpages but on the other not. That is answer from support: " The configuration of Office files to open from email or work/school portals is under the development and enterprise support teams, but they are still considered a work in progress since there are sources that still require you to download the Office files before they can be opened and may require other policies to be deployed. " Now I'm looking for some information if there was any progress in this case. For me it is still working that same but maybe in new versions there are some additional settings which are enabling that feature also in intranet or in mailboxes.
Chrome extension managed storage policy
Hi there, I've developed a chrome extension and now we want to deploy it using Intune. Force install of extension works great but I can't pass managed data to the extension. Here is the scheme: { "type": "object", "properties": { "apiKey": { "title": "API Key", "description": "An API key to communicate with server.", "type": "string" } } } This is the policy that I created in Intune: OMA-URI: ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Chrome~Policy~googlechrome~3rdparty~extensions~eagefwefpbjpewefliifpgfgoewfknnmk~policy Data type: String Value: {"apiKey":"mykey123"} But it doesn't appear in chrome://policy and when I get policies in my code with: const result = await chrome.storage.managed.get(null); The result is empty! What is the problem here? And how to fix it?
Edge for Android top bar after update to 121.0.2277.105 version
On a work fully managed Android device, after the Edge for Android app was updated to 121.0.2277.105 version when I open the Edge app on top of the screen I get a bar named "Edge" that will take from the screen and is very annoying. I noticed that this is happening only if I am not prompted to enter the device PIN when I open the app, if I am prompted to type the PIN then the content is rendered properly. A workaround that I find was to change the device theme but this will be only a temporary fix as next time if I will open the app and I am not asked to type the PIN the top bar will reoccur. The application protection policy is enforced via Intune, and for inactivity we have 10 minutes set up for recheck the access. Anyone come across with this issue? Thanks. Mario
BrowsingDataLifetime crashes Edge
Edge 120 (stable, beta and dev) all seem to be crashing on launch when the BrowsingDataLifetime is set. I've cleared all other policies to rule out any conflicts and set the policy to the example in the policy reference. We only had the policy in test, so there's no impact to us, but it is still concerning.
Edge Dev > Enterprise State Roaming / Sync Broke
I noted in Edge DEV my profile stopped syncing even though its set by policy to be on the journey took me to edge://settings/profiles/sync where turn on sync is presented - so i turn it on a confirm and cancel button appear as well as the expected other areas (but showing as off by policy???) hitting confirm just makes confirm and cancel disappear with no changes these are not new? what gives or is changing? is sync just broke in dev for now? Edge Beta and Stable are not impacted.
Microsoft Edge Group Policies for lists like Pop-ups do NOT combine -they replace unlike IE?
We have 86,000 health computers we are migrating to Microsoft Edge from IE 11. In Group Policy for IE if you add "pop-up allow list" at a root group policy, and then another lower group policy the pop-up lists MERGE. So pop-ups allowed in the root policy and pop-ups allowed in the lower policies BOTH get added to the computer. This goes for all the other IE GPO settings. However, for Microsoft Edge it is a REPLACE in policy and registry which is really, really bad for Enterprise. If we allow 20 sites to not block popups then those 20 sites should remain EVEN if a subset of the organization wants to add their own sites to the list. The same seems to go for all these "list" type Edge policies. Anything that has a list if it is set again, the list gets replaced instead of appended. There is absolutely no reason why it is not working. Group Policies have always been set to COMBINE and in the case of the Edge Policies they also should combine" not replace. Note the registry keys get replaced too.
