Just curious if anything has come of this since providing the feedback.  Thank you!

I can gladly say that the latest version includes the fix, tested and validated the feature this morning  .

Thank the @edgeTeam.

Jeffrey_Fronius Perfect, it sounds like they received it! Thanks again, and I'll let you know if/when the team has insights to share on this.

I don't seem to be getting that behavior.  In this screenshot, I have BrowserSignin = 0, disabling the policy.  This is currently what I have deployed to production.  If you need, I can provide a full list of our policies we're applying.

This screenshot is what I see after I set the policies.  The on-premise account is not automatically signing in.

BrowserSignin = 1
RoamingProfileSupportEnabled = 1
RoamingProfileLocation = \\server\path
ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn = 1

This is what I get on a fresh launch where no pre-existing profile exists.  I deleted the profile from c:\users\username\appdata\local\microsoft\edge\ and then re-launched it, so this is a newly fresh launch with these policies set.  In this case, the on-premise account is signing in automatically.
BrowserSignin = 1

RoamingProfileSupportEnabled = 1
RoamingProfileLocation = \\server\path
ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn = 1

Jeffrey_Fronius Here's what the team said, "On-launch, if Microsoft Edge detects that first profile is not signed-in, it will automatically try sign-in. So, if you have a single unsigned in profile, you don't need to delete the user data folder, as it will auto sign-in once you enable policies and launch again."

Hopefully that helps!

Thank you, again!  It would be really great if the policy would convert the device's profile to automatic sign in.  I'm looking to roll this out to 5000 devices and I'd hate to have to clear out the existing profile to get it to work.

Jeffrey_Fronius Great, I'm glad to hear it worked! And followed up with the team regarding the issue with automatic sign-on with those policies, and will let you know if/when I hear back from them.

I've successfully tested this on Server 2012 R2 with Beta 86.0.622.11.

I did notice one other small issue, and if you'd like, I can create a separate thread for it.  I'm testing the on-premise sync with the following policies configured.

BrowserSignin
RoamingProfileSupportEnabled
RoamingProfileLocation
ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn

If I have a device where these policies are not yet enabled and the device has an Edge profile already, when I apply these policies the device will not perform the automatic browser signin.

If I delete the Edge profile and start cleanly, apply the policies, then launch Edge, the automatic browser signin occurs as expected.

I have several thousand clients where I'm looking to apply this and I'd hate to have to clear out Edge profiles before the setting works.

mictsi Good news: the team confirmed that the fix will be in v86 of the Stable channel, which will be released in ~1 month! (Following your feedback, they did look into backporting to v85, but there were a number of unexpected and confounding factors for that.) 

Hopefully that helps! If not, please let us know.

mictsi Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the MSFT Edge Insider community. 

Great question. I asked the team about possibilities and will let you know if/when I hear back from them.
