Re: How to hide the First Run Experience in the new Microsoft Edge?
Dustin_Halvorson Thanks for the great feedback so far. We have have a TAP-style program run out of the Windows Customer Connection Program (WCCP). Please have your TAM or ATS nominate you for the program. If they don't know who to do that, they can reach out to me. Looking forward to hearing from you.9.9KViews0likes0CommentsEarly preview of Microsoft Edge group policies
Update July 22nd 2019: Hey folks, Thanks for all the great feedback! We announced last week that Edge is now ready for Enterprise evaluations. You can find the latest ADMX files and MSIs/PKGs here: https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/enterprise And you can find all the enterprise-focused documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/DeployEdge There is also an Enterprise-focused section of these Insider forums which the team will be monitoring. Direct link here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Enterprise/bd-p/EdgeInsiderEnterprise Thanks again for the great feedback and engagement. Looking forward to continuing to hear from all of you! (Note: I have removed the ADMX zip file which was originally attached to this mail. Please see the latest versions at the links above) Original post follows: Hi everyone, We've been asked fairly regularly what policies we intend to support. We're still working on the list, but I’d like to share an early preview of the management policies we are working on for the new version of Microsoft Edge. You can find a zip file attached to this post, that includes the ADMX file, an English (US) version of the ADML file, and an English (US) HTML doc with the list of policies and descriptions. Please note that not all of the associated policies have been implemented by current canary or dev builds! Please send us feedback on the list, or the description text in the policies if something seems unclear. IMPORTANT This is a work in progress. We are sharing this early draft with you for your feedback, but the list will change between now and our final release, with policies being added, removed or changed based on feedback. The HTML file includes both Mac and Windows policies. Policies for managing updates aren’t included; those will be in a separate administrative template file. These are only in English (US). We are working to localize the policy descriptions and documentation before our final release. Please let us know if there are policies missing from the list, and give us feedback on the policy design. Thanks for your interest! Sean, on behalf of the Microsoft Edge teamSolved59KViews22likes80CommentsRe: Early preview of Microsoft Edge group policies
P3c4s0 Yes, some of the policies have that restriction. Generally, this restriction exists to limit the impact of policies that are often used by adware/grayware to make changes to the browser bypassing the usual protections against manipulating settings. Enforcing that the device is domain-joined makes it less likely that adware will use those particular settings (since they won't work on most machines). The current version of Edge has similar limitations on policies that impact homepages and search providers (the most commonly misused policies). The particular policy you cited can be used to specify a specific set of URLs to open on startup, which can be misused to effectively do a homepage takeover, which is why the limitation exists.28KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Early preview of Microsoft Edge group policies
Many of the policies support Mac (and there are a few Mac-specific policies). Policies are deployed by pushing a plist file with the right policies set. We have tested with Jamf and a few other Mac management tools and will be publishing documentation with step-by-step instructions.29KViews2likes1CommentRe: Early preview of Microsoft Edge group policies
Senturion33 and Lucas Thanks for the feedback. I'd like to understand a little more about what you are trying to do. We have looked into keeping IE favorites and Edge favorites in sync, and it's a little tricky (for example, with the current EdgeHTML version, when that policy is enabled, device-to-device sync is disabled to avoid loops). We want to make sure we're meeting your needs, so it'd be great if you could elaborate on the specific scenarios so we can do the right thing for you. First, you mentioned that you want to use KFR -- what does using KFR to redirect the favorites folder get you vs using the built in Edge Sync mechansm to sync folders across devices? Second, you mentioned that you would want a "legacy favorites" integration button. We can automatically migrate IE favorites into the new Edge on first launch (a one time activity), so all IE favorites would be in the new Edge. What would be the scenario in which a user would want to access the IE favorites separately from the Edge favorites? Many thanks for help in understanding what you're trying to do.31KViews1like2CommentsRe: Early preview of Microsoft Edge group policies
anthonymel Yup. We will have a dedicated page on docs.microsoft.com, and a change list for each major release. Your should expect something conceptually similar to what we've done for the current version of Edge: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/deploy/group-policies/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/deploy/change-history-for-microsoft-edge?tabs=201831KViews2likes0CommentsRe: Early preview of Microsoft Edge group policies
Miguel_Garrido WIP support is in the roadmap. I can't confirm for sure that it will make the first release, but we'll definitely have it pretty soon thereafter. AAD Sign will be available in Canary builds pretty soon (you can test it by turning on a flag: edge://flags/#edge-sign-in-with-aad)32KViews2likes0CommentsRe: Early preview of Microsoft Edge group policies
KPetkov Yes, we are definitely using the Enterprise Mode Site List. IE mode does not run a separate window. It's not even a separate tab. It's fully integrated into Edge -- as you navigate to a site that requires IE mode, the engine is seamlessly switched out under the covers and the site renders as you would expect it to. When you navigate back to a site that does not require IE mode, it switches back to the modern rendering engine. If you want to see a detailed explanation and demo of IE mode, you can watch the video below: https://mybuild.techcommunity.microsoft.com/sessions/77794?source=sessions#top-anchor42KViews5likes2CommentsRe: Early preview of Microsoft Edge group policies
The feature isn't ready yet, but will be fully manageable via policy. It will be using the Enterprise Mode Site List (see link below for current IE11 documentation) to allow you to specify which URLs get IE mode and which don't (as well as "neutral" sites that stay in the mode of the preceding page, e.g. Auth sites) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list42KViews4likes5Comments
