MicrosoftEarly preview of Microsoft Edge group policies
Update July 22nd 2019:
Hey folks,
Thanks for all the great feedback! We announced last week that Edge is now ready for Enterprise evaluations.
You can find the latest ADMX files and MSIs/PKGs ...
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 fully agree with jrasmussen about using Enterprise Mode Site List.
This is a "must" feature for the enterprises.
Are you planning to use "IE" tab in Edge or open a separate window of IE?
SeanLyndersay-MSYes, we are definitely using the Enterprise Mode Site List.
IE mode does not run a separate window. It's not even a separate tab. It's fully integrated into Edge -- as you navigate to a site that requires IE mode, the engine is seamlessly switched out under the covers and the site renders as you would expect it to. When you navigate back to a site that does not require IE mode, it switches back to the modern rendering engine.
If you want to see a detailed explanation and demo of IE mode, you can watch the video below:

Great video SeanLyndersay-MS !
Thank you for sharing it.
- Great video! Among other things, answered my biggest question: will there be ActiveX support? (YES!!!)
- From what I saw in the footage at Build, it just treats one tab of Edge as IE. Huge improvement over the "open in IE" button we have in Edge right now. The seamlessness of that plus chromium compatibility will have me pushing this out ASAP when it's available.
