AAD account logon data: where does Edge store this?

Some explanation is valid here: We are currently preparing to roll out Edge Chromium in the coming weeks. In january we ran into a problem that Edge would try to log on a profiel using domain\user, ...

Ok. Update:

We worked out that the data for logon on the Microsoft account is destroyed when UEM puts back the profile data.

If we do not do this and remove the Windows profile (as is done on our VMware Horizon machines and most Citrix solutions) and log on again then Edge presents users with the first run wizard, which works.

But that means that Users have to go though this very time, that is stupid.

Has someone worked out how to implement Edge in an environment where Windows profiles are not preserved and a working Azure / Microsoft logon, which is preserved??

This is not rocket science, normal stuff in an Enterprise environment.

Come one Microsoft Edge Team, we need solutions..!

    Update 2.

    We figured out that Edge fails when a MFA is used for authentication of the Microsoft account (Office365).

    Most of the time it fails to recognize that this is needed. edge://sync-internals/ shows that all the connection info is not available.

    Pitty, this is major stumbling block for a roll-out since users cannot fix it themselves either.

    We are going to file a support ticket via premium support tomorrow morning.
