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_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.

matte_pe Hello! Thanks for your feedback! Specifically does the issues you've noticed with outlook.office365.com occur only when using the WebAppInstallForceList Policy?

Our team is currently investigating modifying the policy to allow admins to set a shortcut name. If the site is a PWA, the shortcut name would be used temporarily when the PWA requires authentication before it can be fully installed. Once the PWA is successfully installed, the named defined in the web manifest will be used instead. If the site is not a PWA, the shortcut name would be used permanently. We can let you know once the team has any information about updating the policy!
