Thank you for response. We are trying to simplify environment as much as possible but it seems that vision to have only one web browser is not realistic.

VjekoV I got little more information from MS.
Indeed - the webpage hasnt gotten any recent updates to make it compatible with Edge. Currently IE engine is present on all supported MS Windows OS'es , and remains there until lifecycle ends. So "easy" solution is to remeber to open certificate enrollment page always with IE. If You need more Enterprise solution - You should investigate Edge IE Enterprise mode ( which allows automatic redirection/opening of listed sites in IE) - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/enterprise-mode-overview-for-ie11

I do realize this is an old post, but here we are 2021 October and now Windows 11 doesn't include IE at all. Haven't had a chance to try Server 2021 to see if its pki finally fixed this problem? Seems like a MASSIVE miss if it doesn't fix the problem.
