Re: Edge GPO's breaking Office\Outlook Add-ins
A fun update to this. A few days after I posted this issue a Windows Store update was released that fixed the issue. Not sure how these all tied together to cause the issue other then they are all Microsoft products, but a fix is a fix and that's what I was looking for. -Kris1.5KViews1like1CommentEdge GPO's breaking Office\Outlook Add-ins
I have discovered that my Edge GPO settings, two in particular, are breaking our office/outlook add-ins within Microsoft 365 / Office 2021 desktop applications. FindTime is the main add-in we use, but it also affects our PhishNotify add-in, which means I'm sure it effects more. The two policies in question are as follows (Edge Policy files from 95) : Browser sign-in settings: Enabled - Force users to sign-in to use the browser Control where developer tools can be used: Enable - Don't allow using the developer tools While I understand that my problem is in Office, Outlook specifically, these are Edge policies causing the issues. With these enabled the following happens: Browser sign-in gives the error: Add-in Error This add-in could not be started. Close this dialog to ignore the problem or click "Restart" to try again. If I change the browser sign-in policy I get a white screen where the addon UI would be. The edge policies seem to apply to Office version Monthly Enterprise Channel 2108. -Kris1.7KViews0likes4CommentsRe: "Never save password websites" group policy needed
ToMMeR I have the following disabled and have never been prompted to save a password. PasswordManagerEnabled Enable saving passwords to the password manager Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 77 or later Description Enable Microsoft Edge to save user passwords. If you enable this policy, users can save their passwords in Microsoft Edge. The next time they visit the site, Microsoft Edge will enter the password automatically. If you disable this policy, users can't save new passwords, but they can still use previously saved passwords. If you enable or disable this policy, users can't change or override it in Microsoft Edge. If you don't configure it, users can save passwords, as well as turn this feature off.15KViews0likes1CommentRe: Top Feedback Summary for January 28
MissyQ Here is my list of improvements for being able to control the browser via GPO's. Admittedly I am not using dev versions, so if any of these are fixed please forgive me. - Add Profile in the settings; despite my disabling the ability to add a profile, this button still works. - Profile Syncing: I would like control over which areas sync, I honestly don't want anything but favorites to sync; maybe collections when they are implemented. - Clearing browser on close: again I'd like to be able to control all the toggles on this page as I don't want to clear everything, just most of it. - Privacy: I would like to control the 'Allow sites to check if you have payment info saved'; I don't allow payment info to be saved, but I'd also like to know websites aren't checking for it. - Site Permissions / Unsandboxed plugins: I'd like control over this toggle. - PDF Documents: I'd like the ability to set the handling of PDF's being opened with the system default PDF handler or specify which application would handle this. - PDF Documents: As opposed to the above, I would like the ability to restrict how links in PDF's are handled, for example, Adobe allows me to block clicking on links all together or gives me the ability to block or allow only certain links. Then I could use the built in PDF viewer. - Payment Handles: I would like control over this toggle. - edge://policy: I'd like to be able to turn this off. I love it for myself, but my users don't need to see this. - Allow Extensions for other sources: Since I brought over my chrome extension whitelist, I want to set this to on by default so my users don't have to. -Kris6.7KViews1like1Comment
