Cannot Sign into Edge on Domain Controllers running Windows Server 2019 Standard

Brass Contributor

I know this is more of an Edge issue than a Server issue, but it's specific to Server 2019 Standard running as a domain controller, so I'm starting here.

 

Edge version: 108.0.1462.76 (Official build) (64-bit)

OS: Windows Server 2019 Standard (Build 17763.3770)

 

When I launch Edge on any of my 23 Domain Controllers running Windows Server 2019, I am unable to sign into Edge with my "work or school" account (my AD/AAD credentials). I have no issues signing into Edge on Server 2019 member servers.

 

When I first launch Edge on a member server, it automatically logs me in and gives me the below screen:

However, when I launch Edge on a domain controller I get this:

After clicking "Sign in to sync data", I get an MS login window:

Then, upon typing in my AD/AAD credentials, I get a popup window with the below message:

We can't sign you in right now

The Microsoft Edge team has been notified of this issue. Please try again later.

Error code: 3, 15, -2146893039

 

Any suggestions?

Hello,
You should not use a web browser on a domain controller. In fact, you should not use domain controllers with GUI - Server Core is the best practice since years.
