3rd Party Web Application won't run in Edge Beta

Having just returned from Ignite, I was excited to learn about the new Edge beta and installed it. We were told that every site would work at least in "internet explorer mode" but one of our 3rd part...

You're welcome,
in case it takes too long, run "gpupdate /force"

HotCakeX I did and I can see the policies applied: edge://policy/

 

I thought I set everything correctly but it still doesn't seem to work.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#internetexplorerintegrationsitelist\\cas-dc1\NETLOGON\iesites.xml  
 
and this inside the XML doc:
 

<site url="http://cas-bst/auroraweb/">

<open-in app="true">IE11</open-in>

</site>

    Can you try using the Enterprise mode site list manager to test it?


    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/use-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager

     

    there needs to be a site-list version parameter in your .xml file too. 

    when I used it, the created xml file looked like this:

     

    <site-list version="3">
  <created-by>
    <tool>EMIESiteListManager</tool>
    <version>10.0.14357.1004</version>
    <date-created>09/30/2019 08:56:15</date-created>
  </created-by>
  <site url="bing.com">
    <compat-mode>Default</compat-mode>
    <open-in>IE11</open-in>
  </site>
  <site url="necacom.net">
    <compat-mode>Default</compat-mode>
    <open-in>IE11</open-in>
  </site>
</site-list>

      HotCakeX I used the tool, but it said it couldn't connect to the URL. Could it be because it's not pointing to a full domain name (with a .com extension) as it's running on an internal server? We point IE to http://cas-bst and the site loads. I did modify the XML to include the revisions you suggested. Still no luck.

       

      I also changed the site to yahoo.com to see if I could verify at least that site was working, but it also does not appear in IE mode either.

        Try configuring it to load all intranet sites in IE mode
        https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode#configure-all-intranet-sites

        i can't tell exactly what is not working, if you see the policies you set in
        edge://policy/
        and the sitelist.xml file is also visible in that page and you can see the contents, then all should work.

        unless you haven't enabled the other group policy required to enable IE mode for your Edge? that's the only thing i can think of.

        try turning on IE mode using the flags instead:
        edge://flags/
        enable these:

        Enable IE Integration
        Enables integration with Internet Explorer – Windows
        #edge-internet-explorer-integration


        Enable enhanced hang resistance for IE Integration
        Enables enhanced hang resistance for Internet Explorer mode – Windows
        #edge-internet-explorer-integration-enhanced-hang-resistance


        Enable IE window hang resistance for IE Integration
        Enables resistance to Internet Explorer window hangs for Internet Explorer mode – Windows
        #edge-internet-explorer-integration-window-hang-resistance


        Enable Delete Browsing History Support for Internet Explorer Integration
        Enable Delete Browsing History for Internet Explorer Integration on settings page, and Delete Browsing History on Exit integration with Internet Explorer mode. – Windows
        #edge-internet-explorer-integration-delete-browsing-history
