So to enable IE mode you need to configure group policies under Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge > Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list > Configure Internet explorer Integration and under Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge > Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list

 

Will the GPO for Edge chromium be split into these two location in the final release ?

Hi LMichel, 

 

I'm pretty sure it will, because

  • "Configure Internet explorer Integration" policy in the Chromium GPOs only tells Edge Chrome to basically enable IE Mode
  • whereas the "Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list" policy in the Internet Explorer GPOs enables site lists for both, Edge and IE (which is afaik needed to launch IE Mode in Edge properly, because it uses the IE engine) 

But I'm not a developer, so please don't quote me on that. 

 

Btw., the "Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list" policy in the Classic Edge GPOs is not needed for IE Mode to work on Edge Chromium Dev and Beta. I just added it in the manual for compatibility issues, so that Enterprise sites visited in Edge Classic will open in IE (I've updated the manual to work this out).

 

Best regards
