Edge Chromium default search engine using Microsoft Edge - Policies
Ivooo ‘This policy is blocked - its value will be ignored.’ means, that Edge has not recognised your device as AD-Joined or MDM-Managed.
I'm not familiar with "Azure AD-Joined" devices, but as I understand this technology no GPO's are deployed or assigned onto "Azure AD-Joined" devices, so you would have to use MDM to configure their Policies.
Hi Gunnar-Haslinger ,
Thanks for your quick replay, I forgot to mention this but the machines I am testing on are indeed Domain joined and are using Windows 10 Enterprise. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Ivooo
Ivooo Please provide more Information, for example the output of "edge://policy" (Screenshot or at least the relevant Error-Text).
It seems that the policy's do indeed generate some errors, not very useful ones I must say. DefaultSearchProviderEnabled is ignored because ‘This policy is blocked - its value will be ignored.’. The other policy’s are ignored because the default search provider is not enabled, see screenshot.
Most of my other policy's are accepted except for a few.
Microsoft states:
"This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise instances that enrolled for device management, or macOS instances that are that are managed via MDM or joined to a domain via MCX.."
I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise and the device is Azure AD joined, so this should work right?

- That's incredibly disappointing of Microsoft to exclude their cloud based users like this, so I would have to buy Intune in order for me to configure something as simple as a default search engine... Too bad, I was enjoying the new Edge so far, back to Chrome it is.
