Is this possible? Also I'm not sure if this is the correct place.
We have a website that users are opening it in IE, but it doesn't work. It works in Edge though. So we would like to redirect that to Edge, is that possible?

Oh well I don't have enough information about your specific environment and how the clients are manged by what type of management tools, but here is a suggestion:
make a shortcut of the new Edge (I'm using Canary) by going to its install location
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application
right-click on the "msedge.exe" and choose send to > create shortcut on desktop.
then go to the desktop shortcut you just created, right-click on it and choose properties.
in the "shortcut" tab where it says Target: , put your custom URL in there like this
"C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application\msedge.exe" http://customwebsite.com

Sorry for the confusion, Our website works in Edge but not COMPLETELY on IE. So what happens is that users uses IE fulltime, and refuse to switch to Edge.. So we have to find a way so that it redirects to Edge.
by the way, I have a follow-up question, when switching from old.xml file to the new.xml file, would it cause any issues to other GPOs?
What I was told was to keep the old.xml and unshare the file, disconnect all remaining connection to the old.xml, modify the old.xml and reshare the file.
I'm so confused, why can't someone just create a new xml, and point the GPO to the new.xml? Again, I was told that it is not safe because it could break other settings. (HUH??)
