Ricoli610 if you deploy Edge using SCCM you select the default channel in SCCM and configure the auto update in SCCM. SCCM handles that and the automatic update within Edge is disabled.
This does need no extra configuration.

What do want to achieve? What version of SCCM / MECM do you have in place?

Henno_Keers Thanks very much for your reply.

We are using SCCM / MECM 2002 version 5.0.8968.1000. Edge is being deployed as an application using the msi - MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64 (Software Library / Application Management).

We are trying to ensure that Edge does not update unless we deploy a new version via SCCM. We have had a small number of clients where the browser has updated itself (not via SCCM). The group policy settings I mention above are set and the browser shows Your organization disabled updates when we check the About page.

The guidance in the link you posted advises that, on the clients, the PowerShell Execution Policy can't be set to Restricted. This may not be something that we are able to get approval to change.

Many thanks
Richard
