I have been very impressed with Chromium Edge. One of my personal favorite features is converting any Web Site into a Stand Alone App...However, working in the Enterprise, it would be nice if we could Deploy those apps to other users via SCCM. This has the added benefit of setting Dependencies of a web page (Think Java) along with the app. This would allow users to start thinking of it as a Stand Alone app, and only those that needed it would get Java installed for each of those intranet URL's that would need it.

Dlhousem RandyConrad Hi - Thanks for reaching out! I don't think it is currently possible to deploy a Web App with SCCM but we do have a policy that might help your scenario. Please take a look at the WebAppInstallForceList policy. More information can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#webappinstallforcelist -Kelly

RandyConrad I totally agree and at present time could care less if it's with SCCM or simply with GPO. I feel like Microsoft would be missing a great opportunity if they don't have a way for Admins to deploy webpages as APPS to users in their organization. This feature could push many users to move from other web browsers to New Edge, It did for me!
On another note I find it interesting that some websites installed as Apps on Windows will move with sync to iOS on MAC but other do not move. I'm sure there is a local reason but at this time I haven't figured out why.

    Kelly_Y Hi, i alredy tried to use the GPO, but its a bit limited and its not working with all Web-Pages perfectly. For Example i tried Youtube.com, works great, but also there i would like to configure the WebApp Name and maybe also the Icon myself, on the other side OUTLOOK.office365.com works not so well, i think its more a authentication issue, the WebApp is not completely installed and shows with a grey icon an a bit cryptic URL based name(not convenient for the EndUser), i noticed that afer a random restarts of Edge the WebApp Icon and the Name in Edge://apps refreshes and from now on its working.

  I totally agree... After all, they have been integrating PWA's for some time... I feel like this was the simplified next step.
