Edge forcing switch profiles when using any .local domain or IP address
I've noticed this today after upgrading to Windows 11 23H2, personal profile that can access local network devices like CCTV systems, monitoring, etc... Always get switched to work profile. Any other...
Although using that icon works, since it's defining the preference at the site-specific level, you'll have to do it for every local site you access on your intranet.
That may be sufficient for your use case... However, I was able to confirm that adding the registry key from the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#switchintranetsitestoworkprofile will work to revert to the previous behavior for all sites.
Any idea of how to set this on others OS ? Like MacOS or Linux, as we have no registry, I suppose the policies are defined in some kind of file ?
- On MacOS the policy is configured via XML. The key for MacOS is below the Windows info in the link I shared earlier: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#switchintranetsitestoworkprofile
You'd have to put that key/value in a .plist file like this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/configure-microsoft-edge-on-mac
As far as Linux, I couldn't find anything in the MS Edge docs, but I found this post that shows doing it via creating a JSON file in a specific location: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/global-profile-configuration-on-linux/m-p/2432228/highlight/true#M47993
Hope that helps!
