Redirect Internet Explorer to Edge
Never mind - I figured it out.
For anyone else looking for a way to do this, you can just modify the IE site mode list to:
-Add your IE home page to Enterprise Site List
-Set Open IN to MSEdge
-Set Allow Redirect to True
Note: this IE list should be the one used by IE to enable redirection. I am using the same listing for both browsers with no issues.
This will force Edge to open without even opening an IE window. Great stuff!
Abigail05 thanks for this - just to clarify, we do have an Enterprise Site list that launches IE mode, as well as an app defaults file that sets Edge to the default browser. What we're looking to do is for anyone that launches IE by accident (or on purpose) to automatically redirect to the new Edge browser. This is for many reasons, but the biggest is security.
I might test the site list in forwarding the home page we have set in IE to automatically launch Edge and see if that accomplishes what we want...
