What's the purpose of a newer browser when the Windows Server 2019's VDI portal website is still old and fit for IE?

HotCakeX I think he want's to use the new Edge INSIDE the VDI, not for the portal website. This may work with IE, but many other websites the users want to visit are turning their backs on IE, so we need a diffrent browser like Edge. I assume he has the same needs as all others of us, writing in other threads like the one I linked above and where you already joined the conversation.

    Inside the VDI is in other words the Hyper-V VM and it can be any OS. if that VM is Windows 10 then it already has Edge classic and can utilize Edge insider channels as well.

      HotCakeX Yes, and in our case the OS of the VM is WinServer2019, where 10-15 users are working in the same VM. So not classical "1 user on 1 VM VDI", but "many user on 1 VM VDI" (VDI/TS/whatever). So that's why we need Edge on WinServer. But with the RegKey in this thread it runs on WinSrv2019: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Edge-support-on-Server-OS/m-p/574383
      But you already know, as you commented there as well. 😉

      PS: As you seem quite fit with WinServer, do you have any hint for me using "Snip & Sketch" on WinServer? Details here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Server-for-IT-Pro/Snip-amp-Sketch-on-Windows-Server-2019/m-p/857215

        Okay so both the guest and host OSes are Windows server 2019.

        I've never encountered any errors or need for custom registry modification to run Edge insider on my Windows Server 2019. i'm currently virtualizing 3 of them on Hyper-V that is on Windows 10 insider fast ring build 18985 (my main Host)

         

         

        Windows server 2019 fully updated and virtualized + Edge insider Canary latest version. 

        Edge has no problem running either on normal Windows server 2019 or virtualized Windows server 2019.

        I've also installed it on Windows server 2019 data center edition as well as Windows server vNext edition (Insider) core edition.

        😉
