Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode Greyed Out
MicrosoftSpringer84 For managed devices, the setting should be greyed out. For unmanaged devices, the setting should be actionable. If you are seeing the opposite behavior, please let us know and we can investigate what is happening.
To summarize:
- I use for the test .admx files from 2020-09-09 (stable version)
- I use on the client computer the Edge version 87.0.637.0
In GPO:
I have activated the 2 policies necessary to activate IE mode for certain industrial sites of our company:
- Configure Internet Explorer intégration
- Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List
Below the test Site List:
<site-list version="3">
<created-by>
<tool>EMIESiteListManager</tool>
<version>12.0.0.0</version>
<date-created>09/18/2020 15:15:48</date-created>
</created-by>
<site url="https://www.xxx.yyy/zzz">
<compat-mode>IE11</compat-mode>
<open-in app="true" allow-redirect="false">MSEdge</open-in>
</site>
</site-list>
The problem still persists, Edge does not open the defined site from the list (https://www.xxx.yyy/zzz) in IE mode... However in this Edge version I can force the opening in IE mode from "more tools".
But that doesn't interest me, I do not want to impose a procedure on our users, I want it to be done automatically. Logical...
Will this issue be solved?
instead of <open-in>IE11</open-in> we tried <open-in allow-redirect="true">IE11</open-in>and it worked
Sorry, my mistake, just tested it.
If you delete the "app" and "allow-redirect" options from <open-in> and then go to edge://compat/enterprise and click on "Force update" it should work.
...
<site url="___">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>...
nightmare, after reboot computer impossible to run compatibility ...
EDIT:
It's crazy, now with the configuration below:
---
<site url="___">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in app="true" allow-redirect="false">IE11</open-in>
</site>---
When I put the URL address in the Edge browser it launches it on Internet Explorer ...
I do not understand anything anymore!
As weird as it may sounds, but you have to chose "IE11" instead of "MSEdge" for the <open-in> tag in your sitelist.xml to get it to work with Edge IE Mode Integration.
See documentation (under no. 5): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/add-single-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-2-enterprise-mode-tool
Also select "IE8Enterprise" for <compat-mode>, this did the trick for us on some pages not loading correctly.
So your Site List should look like this
...
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in app="true" allow-redirect="false">IE11</open-in>...
Hope this helps, works on our clients flawlessly since months.
