Dev channel update to 81.0.416.3 is live
josh_bodner Finally I found out what to do to sync favorites and what is the showstopper to it.
We have a local AD connected to AzureAD. I've learned that all users need to have Enterprise State Roam enabled in AzureAD. Edge is configured via GPO to automatically sign the user (Browser Sign-In enabled, Proactive Authentication enabled).
Still on most devices I wondered why edge shows that sync is disabled for this account.
With this settings Edge creates per default a new profile with the account name "<local domain>\<username>" (local account) instead of "<username>@<domain>" (connected Microsoft business account used for M365 apps). Profiles with the this account name (local user) aren't synced. This needs to be replaced by a manually created profile with selecting the Microsoft business account to enable sync. Nothing I can tell every user to do.
In the local AD the account name is set to the version with "<username>@<domain>".
Is there any option to tell Edge to use the "<username>@<domain>" business account for profile creation and sign-in?
One addition: I've noticed that in the past one of the Edge Dev Version created a folder on OneDrive for the Collections. It seems that this isn't done anymore, correct? Or does it happen only under special circumstances?
Thomas_Gessert the type of account that's created is dependent on the way your organization has Windows set up. If your machines are AAD-J or Hybrid AD joined, then you'll get the correct type of account created (username@domain); if your machines are on-prem joined + workplace joined, then Edge creates the domain\username account. Right now, the only way to get Edge to create the correct account type by default is to get your organization to hybrid join their devices (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/devices/hybrid-azuread-join-federated-domains, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/devices/hybrid-azuread-join-managed-domains). And while we're investigating a way to make it so that Edge just does the right thing all the time, we're still a ways away from getting there.
