ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn and Server 2012 R2 Edge Stable 84.0.522.40
Good day,
My organization is interested in implementing the Edge roaming profile support. We're trying to use the on-premise account sign in, rather than Azure AD. I'm finding that the setting "ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn" setting is working on Windows 10 1809, however try as I might, I cannot get our Server 2012 R2s to accomplish this sign in.
I noticed that the format that the two display under the profile settings looks different. The working Windows 10 1809 display the account as domain\username, while the non-working Server 2012 R2 are displaying it as the UPN, mailto:username@domain.com.
I did manage to find another thread out there on this, but doesn't seem to be any real solution. I'd like for this to occur automatically, rather than require a manual intervention, as we have thousands of devices out there.

Jeffrey_Fronius Great news: the team was able to validate the issue and have now enabled a fix! The new code will be in https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download 87.0.626.0 and later, allowing you to use the hthttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#configureonpremisesaccountautosignin. If you are not having success after trying this on Canary, let me know and I can help you securely submit a histogram to the team.

Jeffrey_Fronius Thanks for reaching out. Hopefully this will be a simple solution! If you'd like to use that, the devices have to be domain joined (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-security-identity#how-users-can-sign-into-microsoft-edge.)
"The device is domain joined: Available on Win10, down-level Windows, and corresponding server versions. By default, the user will not get automatically signed in. If you want to automatically sign in users with domain accounts, use the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#configureonpremisesaccountautosignin policy. If you want to automatically sign in users with their Azure AD accounts, consider hybrid joining your devices."However, if they're already joined and you're still having challenges, please let us know.Fawkes (they/them)

We have the same problem with Windows Server 2016, is there any solution?- These are domain joined and we're testing with that policy applied.
Jeffrey_Fronius and Torsten_Lueckhardt Thank you for letting us know. I've looped the team in and will let you know if they have insights to share.
