RoamingProfileSupportEnabled - referred to in other policies desc but no policies designed to set it
Hi,
It appears that Microsoft have released some new GPO templates - i'm not sure on a version or a date they were available but as of today 11th February 2020 they have resolved this issue.
There is a new policy called "Set the user data directory" and I've set the value to ${roaming_app_data} and this resolved my issue.
In the policy is a link to a page of descriptions of options for this value and instructions on what to do.

Hope this helps everyone!
Thanks,
Mike

mike_robertson I would refer to this as a "workaround" since it moves several hundreds megabytes to the AppData\Roaming side of the Windows profile.
Hardly acceptable...
Chromes setting moves only a small portion.
Henno_Keers It wasn't that much in my testing.. however my testing was minimal. I've not rolled Edge out to users yet and don't plan to until we've rolled out Windows 10, which is fairly imminent. (Yes I know we are late to the party.) So hopefully until then, Microsoft can limit the things that need to move in future releases. All that I wanted is that everything in Edge is locked down in case any of my users decide to use it. I don't plan on making it obvious to them. I'd rather them stick with IE11 or Chrome. And having their favourites and browser settings move with them if they move PC is one of the requirements I wanted to fulfil which it now does with this option being available. I could use AppLocker to block Edge so no one can use it, but I'd rather not go down that route.
