When attempting to research setting GP by script, I came across this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/dn789190(v=ws.11)
On that page, I found this paragraph:
Additional considerations |
But clicking that link produced this response:
Neither of the reasons quoted can apply. Can anyone reproduce this behaviour? More important, can anyone explain it?

it's getting retired:
"We are retiring the TechNet Gallery. Make sure to back up your code"

so that link is probably pointing to a script whose developer moved it from Technet to Github, as suggested in Microsoft's doc.

There's some reason why the MSFT server involved chooses to block what appears to be a legitimate request from Edge, rather than simply telling Edge that the requested resource isn't available.
Same here on Version 82.0.458.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
and on Firefox nightly 76a, so definitely Not Edge related issue
