Thanks for Your answer. One of solutions is working and that is great. I'm able to open webpage in IE mode using Site List. But the problem is in second part. Even when I configured  "InternetExplorerIntegrationReloadInIEModeAllowed" policy I still don't see any of IE mode options from Settings > Default Browser .

The option is there even no policy is set. What is the version of Edge?

 

I just tested the InternetExplorerIntegrationReloadInIEModeAllowed (Allow unconfigured sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode) policy and it is working. Please note this policy requires Edge 92 or later, and the documentation says restarting Edge is required.

 

Setting enforced for "Allow unconfigured sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode" policy.

 

If your policy changed the effective setting, restart is required.

 

 

 

If you set it in the "Default Settings (user can override)" section, it will keep users' current setting if they set it before.

 

You can remove the InternetExplorerIntegrationTestingAllowed policy since it is obsolete and doesn't work after Edge 94.

      Hi,

       

      I had the same Problem. The IE Mode Settings is not availible at edge://settings/defaultBrowser even if I set the Policy, but it should be related to the OS. I have only the Problem on Windows Server 2016...

       

      .. it's working on Server 2012 and Server 2019 only Server 2016 has this Issue.... any Idea?

       

      By the way, I use Microsoft Edge: Version 102.0.1245.30 (Official build) (64-bit)

      And Windows Server 2016 Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.5125)

      Have you been able to figure this out? We have some users on W10 with Edge v100+ and they have the same symptoms: When going to edge://settings/defaultbrowser, they don't see the IE mode options at all.

        Hi Greg, I did figure it out. 

        What the setting were in the Sites.xml file was wrong. I at first used what was in the example that allowed me to copy and I had also tried the tool to make this work. But it would not work either way. I finally found someone in my organization but with a different department who had one that I was able to modify. I am not sure why MS would have offerings that would not work. And they did not necessarily give the best directions on creation of the sites list.

    Hi Ken,

     

    I have just recently started following this email chain and I have tried what has been suggested and I have confirmed that we are on the latest version of Edge. 

     

    I am running the Group Policy per computer since I do not have the rights to add it to the User Groups in AD. I have placed the Sites file in the Group Policy location on our server so that the computers have the rights to file. But we still cannot get it to run in IE Mode even though it shows it in Edge. Is this because it cannot be run via the computer settings in the Group Policy?

     

    I have also removed the Group Policy so that there are no settings being applied now and we have manually tried it on computers after this. Any computer that was not previously tested manually in IE mode prior to the group policy despite Edge is no longer showing that it being managed by our organization, we cannot get it work with the manual settings that we have on the ones in which we had previously tested.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Thanks,

    John

      Hi John,

       

      I see you mentioned AD, please note that local policy has the least priority.

       

      You can first open the Internet Explorer mode diagnostic information (URL: edge://compat/iediagnostic) and take a look. If you are using policies you can also go to edge://policy/ and check which policies are applied.

       

      For your reference, I use the following policies:

      Configure Internet Explorer integration

      (InternetExplorerIntegrationLevel)

      		Internet Explorer mode (1)

      Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List

      (InternetExplorerIntegrationSiteList)

      		[XML file location]

       

      Note that although the official document says Allow unconfigured sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode (InternetExplorerIntegrationReloadInIEModeAllowed) should be enabled to allow users to manually switch sites to IE mode, I can use this function even if I have this policy "not configured".

       

      Be sure to confirm your environment is meeting the prerequisites.

       

      Regards,

      Ken
