    Ruud van Velsen The policy wasn't ready when Sean shared the administrative template zip file. It will be in the next version we share.

SeanLyndersay-MS I'm not seeing any mention of "IE mode" in the preview, is that just because it hasn't gone out to insiders yet? The killer feature I'm looking for is the ability to use GP to automatically whitelist some internal sites for all of my users with that.

 

Thanks!

        Brian Altman thanks for the reply. As far as ad blocking, being able to add extensions will suffice! Favorite redirection may work already as part of folder redirection policies, it does for IE.
