Edge sync - AD vs Microsoft Account
Microsoftjdseymour1978 Hi Jonathan! Have you tried the RestrictSigninToPattern policy (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#restrictsignintopattern)?
We've had some other conversations with customers and in addition to the ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn and RoamingProfileSupportEnabled policies, they configured the RestrictSigninToPattern policy so it can be used to force on-premise sign in.
Thanks!

I tried your suggestion of the RestrictSigninToPattern policy setting, setting it to
AB\*
or
AB\{user_name}
(where AB is our NT domain name)
And Edge just got stuck at the Profile1 selection screen at first run with a new profile on a Windows 10 endpoint.
I'm running out of ideas to be honest. Windows 10 just seems to only want ot pick up the firstname.lastname@ourdomain.com UPN type login name, and perform a AAD type login (according to edge://sync-internals)

jdseymour1978 Sorry to hear about the issues!
Couple of tips for the RestrictSigninToPattern policy that I've seen others mention:
The required pattern is here "DOMAIN\\.*" (without quotation marks and here DOMAIN is to be replaced with your specific AD domain). Also, reminder that the regex pattern is case sensitive.
Also, if you are still having issues you can reach out to Support and they can work with you directly to troubleshoot your specific case. https://microsoftedgesupport.microsoft.com/hc/en-us
