Edge Sync w/ MS 365 Basic and Business Standard
Hi, I noticed that some of my customers with MS 365 Basic and Business Standard plans can sync their MS Edge information, while others can't. Based in this article, sync only works with plans that include Azure AD Premium P1 and P2, Microsoft 365 Business Premium, and EDU. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-enterprise-sync Could it be that MS is starting to expand to smaller plans? Is there an article with details about this? Thanks...
Login with AzureAD Account sync instantly goes in "Error" state
Hi Please see this video about my problem: https://youtu.be/atxOfCJBKRE To recap in words, When I sign-in with my personal AzureAD account to Edge Dev and Canary (Newest builds 78.0.262.0/78.0.267.0) it instantly goes into Error state. I have tried on 3 different PC's. 2 of them newly installed Win10 1903 setup and logged in directly with the AzureAD credentials. So it's not a PC problem, cause as the video shows I have two other profiles, which both are setup with AzureAD account sync. EDIT: It hasn't worked in previous builds either.
How to hide the First Run Experience in the new Microsoft Edge?
One of the most frequent Enterprise asks around the new First Run Experience has been for a way to hide the new First Run Experience. It could be that you do not want your users to change these configurations which you are already managing via other policies. Or perhaps you want your users to get immediately productive without fiddling with any configurations. Whatever the reason, we’ve got you covered! We have been working hard on your feedback, and starting with Microsoft Edge 80 (Stable) you can now use the new browser policy HideFirstRunExperience to do just that! This new policy is a frictionless way for the users of your managed devices to go directly to the browser startup page without seeing any configuration or welcome message at first run. When this policy is enabled, all the configurations which are currently shown in the first run experience will be set to sane defaults. Existing user data from the edgeHTML-based Microsoft Edge Legacy version will still be migrated over to the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge. However, the user data from no other browser will be imported automatically. In the New Tab Page, the feed type will be set to use MSN News alongwith the Inspirational layout. The user will still be automatically signed into Microsoft Edge, if the Windows account is of AAD or MSA type. Sync of browser data will not be enabled by default and users will be able to turn on sync from the sync settings. You can still manage all the various core configurations currently shown in the first run experience, using existing browser policies which can work in combination with the HideFirstRunExperience policy. Some of these are: AutoImportAtFirstRun - Automatically import another browser's data and settings at first run NewTabPageLocation - Configure the new tab page URL NewTabPageSetFeedType - Configure the Microsoft Edge new tab page experience SyncDisabled - Disable synchronization of data using Microsoft sync services BrowserSignin - Specify whether a user can sign into Microsoft Edge with their account and use account-related services like sync and single sign on. NonRemovableProfileEnabled - Configure whether a user always has a default profile automatically signed in with their work or school account If you disable or don't configure this policy, the First-run experience and the Welcome screen will be shown.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.
