Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode Greyed Out
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?
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.
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!
