Bug? Restrict which accounts can be used as Microsoft Edge primary accounts prevents auto sign-in
Hi,
I just yesterday enabled the "Restrict which accounts can be used as Microsoft Edge primary accounts" in Configuration Profiles and deployed it to my dev machine. I then performed a Wipe from the Intune, relogged in as the dev user, and then started verifying all the profiles I've set up so far properly applied from start to finish. Unfortunately, when I fired of MS Edge, I immediately notice a problem: it did not automatically sign-in and sync like it had been doing. I went back and disabled the "Restrict which accounts can be used as Microsoft Edge primary accounts" and sure enough automatic sign-in and sync started working again. Is this a bug? It seems like it should be.
Hi,
I'm sure you would have found the resolution to this issue but just to update anyone else who stumbles across this post. I have resolved this after reviewing the following: https://www.inthecloud247.com/block-personal-accounts-from-syncing-in-microsoft-edge-with-microsoft-intune/ and https://admx.help/?Category=EdgeChromium&Policy=Microsoft.Policies.Edge::RestrictSigninToPattern&Language=nb-no
This policy uses a regular expression rule so needs to include the preceding dot(.). This needs to be configured as follows:
.*@domain.com
- Have you put added the domain like the article below? I think if you type edge://policy in the address bar it would show.
*@domain.com

https://www.inthecloud247.com/block-personal-accounts-from-syncing-in-microsoft-edge-with-microsoft-intune/- Yep. Did that. And it correctly shows up on the edge://policy page. I also triple checked for typos. It seems that for some reason that policy is breaking my automatic sign and sync policy set up.
- Also, I've had someone on Reddit confirm they experienced the same issue.
- Hi, one thing I would like to mention is that for some reason domain is case-sensitive.
For some reason if you add domain with upper case, it might create a problem. Now, when your domain is added, please check wording, and then add it like that to your Intune policy.
I hope this helps, I had this same issue, but this was my fix.- I think it was all lowercase. I'll try it again later to see if things still break when I enable this policy.
