Hi Ken,

I have just recently started following this email chain and I have tried what has been suggested and I have confirmed that we are on the latest version of Edge.

I am running the Group Policy per computer since I do not have the rights to add it to the User Groups in AD. I have placed the Sites file in the Group Policy location on our server so that the computers have the rights to file. But we still cannot get it to run in IE Mode even though it shows it in Edge. Is this because it cannot be run via the computer settings in the Group Policy?

I have also removed the Group Policy so that there are no settings being applied now and we have manually tried it on computers after this. Any computer that was not previously tested manually in IE mode prior to the group policy despite Edge is no longer showing that it being managed by our organization, we cannot get it work with the manual settings that we have on the ones in which we had previously tested.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

I see you mentioned AD, please note that https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2157099-local-vs-domain-gpo.

You can first open the Internet Explorer mode diagnostic information (URL: edge://compat/iediagnostic) and take a look. If you are using policies you can also go to edge://policy/ and check which policies are applied.

For your reference, I use the following policies:

Configure Internet Explorer integration

(InternetExplorerIntegrationLevel)

Internet Explorer mode (1)

Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List

(InternetExplorerIntegrationSiteList)

[XML file location]

Note that although the official document says https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#internetexplorerintegrationreloadiniemodeallowed (InternetExplorerIntegrationReloadInIEModeAllowed) should be enabled to allow users to manually switch sites to IE mode, I can use this function even if I have this policy "not configured".

Be sure to confirm your environment is meeting the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode#prerequisites.

Regards,

Ken
