Local Profile Remove Issue
Joachim_T I agree. But we are not close to the root cause of the problem we want to see the scale of the problem and involvement of the ServiceDesk on the issue.
Otherwise one is not fixing the problem but automating a workaround.

Henno_Keers Joachim_T I think UE-V will never be a good solution for syncing this Edge profile stuff. Microsoft has confirmed that it will enable https://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/?policy=RoamingProfileLocation for syncing Favorites/settings to a local UNC share. That's the solution I wait for.

ThiloLangbein that is in relation with this https://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/?policy=RoamingProfileSupportEnabled setting.
But... I have heard, that is the case with Google Chrome too, that enabling this setting, disables "Cloud sync" i.e. login on to your AAD account for synching of your Edge settings.
We found ourselves in the situation that we need both:
- We want the users to logon their AAD account to store Edge settings because then they are available on other devices too.
- We want the logged on state to their AAD account saved, because otherwise users need to logon to their AAD account every time they start Edge. (We have MFA to Office365 enabled).
So a colleague of mine created a VMware UEM config that does that.
It is not pretty, but it does the job at the moment.

Henno_Keers We don't want our user to login to AAD. Only OnPrem-AD.
So favorites should/could only synced locally.

Is there any official statement from Microsoft regarding RoamingProfileLocation?
- What about sync support for on-prem accounts?
Currently Microsoft Edge doesn't support sync for on-prem accounts. We will be adding this support in a future release.

Last statement (I have) from MS about RoamingProfileSupport. I'm a little concerned about what you found.
