Setting up HOME page for Edge and Chrome
Hi
I'm struggling to get the HOME page / button to work properly.... Been checking few guides about how to implement this via Intune but doesn't work properly...
The best I could achieve is that I've created a Configuration Profile with "Administrative Template" and configured as below:
- Action to take on startup
- Enabled -> Open a list of URLs
- Configure the home page URL
- Enabled -> used the url I want to open
- Show Home button on toolbar
Enabled
- Sites to open when the browser starts
Enabled -> used the same URL as above in "configure home page url"
- when I open EDGE 1st time, it loads the configured page.... great!!!
- when I open a new tab... or open another EDGE window, it opens with some default "news, etc" - thats ok and I'm fine with that
- when I click "HOME" button, it opens again just the "news" as above... This I need to fix but not sure what I'm doing wrong here
FYI:I've tried also configuring this via "Setting Catalog" but it works even worse than the above 😕
sumo83 hi please refer to the below screenshot setting up for example google.com as your home page
Google chrome:
Edge
- sumo83Iron ContributorI have very similar setting for Endge (except the 2 about "New Page"). I've added those two and will test. I have assigned that policy to a users group.... Would that work? Or do I need to create an "device group". I've tried to configure the same also for "Users" -e.g. Home page URL (User)- yesterday but didt work either....
- you can target group of users or devices both will work . if case you have users that use multiple devices you apply it to users and in case users use single devices you can apply it then to devices
- sumo83Iron Contributorjust wondering.... why you dont use "Settings catalog" also for Chrome?
- Since Edge is a Microsoft product and those are the recommended setting to control home page through Edge. settings catalogue is available as well but since you have a template for Edge in intune why to use custom settings ?
