Having issues getting Chromium Edge to accept policy changes
I'm running onto some issues trying to change a few settings on a new Chromium Edge install using policy edits through the registry. These computers are not domain managed, so the only method available for me to do this is by using a powershell script to edit the registry files to get these settings changed. I'm trying to set the browser to restore 2 pages each time it starts up, everything I have found indicates that the settings should be set in the HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge I have the registry files set so they write the settings that I believe should be correct, but after setting them and opening edge the policies don't seem to apply. The script I'm using for the registry edits is attached below. #Disable Edge "First Run" #Create registry key "HideFirstRunExperience" new-item –Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\" –Name "Edge" New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" -Name "HideFirstRunExperience" -Value ”1” -PropertyType "DWORD" #Set multiple pages to open on startup #Set restore on startup New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" -Name "RestoreOnStartup" -Value ”0x00000004” -PropertyType "DWORD" -Force #Create "Recommended" and "Mandatory" new-item –Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" –Name "Recommended" new-item –Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" –Name "Mandatory" new-item –Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Mandatory" –Name "RestoreOnStartupURLs" #G2A FastSupport New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Mandatory\RestoreOnStartupURLs" -Name "1" -Value ”www.fastsupport.com” -PropertyType "String" #Password Self Serve New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Mandatory\RestoreOnStartupURLs" -Name "2" -Value ”https://https://passwordreset.microsoftonline.com/” -PropertyType "String" I'm extremely new to this sort of thing, and especially using powershell, so It very well may be something I'm overlooking, but If anybody can provide assistance I'd appreciate it.
Edge Chromium doesn't import ALL favorites from IE
Hello, We are making the migration for our users from IE to Edge Chromium and have the GPO in place "Automatically import another browser's data and settings at first run" to import the Favorites from IE into Edge Chromium. We do this since we manage the favorites, and it's easier for us to drag/drop/change extensions in the Favorites folder of our Mandatory Profiles as the favorites will change from time to time. Alongside the internet shortcuts (.url) are .ppt/.pptx and .pdf files we drop in the favorites for ease of access. We also do this because we disable access to File Explorer for these terminal users. We found that only the .url extensions are copying over into Edge. We also noticed that Edge does not import folders recursively, as we have folders within folders at the root that do not transfer over. I have attached an example of our setup. In IE you can see our three folders, within 'folder 1' I have three subfolders, a .PDF, a .PPTX, and an internet shortcut to Google.com. Next we'll import the browser data from IE After the import, only folders with found content in it are transferred over. Recursive folders are not copied and even 'Test Folder 2' and 'Test Folder 3' were not transferred since they were empty of content. We found that no extension outside of .URL would copy over into Edge. For testing, we successfully added the .pptx and .pdf files manually. The PDF opens in Edge and even though the .pptx does not open, Edge still asks us what we would like to do with it. Is there a way we can transfer all of the contents from IE into Edge Chromium currently with a GPO? Or will this be a feature added in a future release? For enterprise that deny access to File Explorer for security reasons this is one of the few options we've relied on in the past with IE. Thank you. We are using Edge Version 87.0.664.75 64-bit
Intune Edge policy's not applying to new Edge 77 & later
Hi, I have searched for similar answers but can only see reply's for the new admx template for AD joined devices. I am setting up a new Azure / Intune managed domain and am creating all Intune policies from scratch. I'm still in POC stage so am working out the bugs. On of the most frustrating is the issue that once we upgrade the default edge browser on our win10 ent endpoints, with the new edge browser, the Intune policies for edge stop working. Strangely Intune reports that all policies have applied correctly. As a simple test I have set a certain url as our new home page and have set any new tab to open as the home page. I have also enabled the home button on the browser, none of them work and the page does not appear. Any help in this matter much appreciated.Unable to enable Edge sync in Hybrid AD environment with Win10 VMs in Azure
Hello@all, I am currently facing an issue that I couldn't handle by myself. We are having trouble to enable the (new) Microsoft Edge sync feature for all of our users, when they sign-in to a published desktop/app with Win10 1909 as OS, running on Azure (Windows Virtual Desktop). When we try to enable the sync by "completing the sign"-in we receive the error "0" or "1067". Outside of the Win10 machines in Azure the users can sign-in to Edge as expected, e.g. it works in macOS, iOS, Android. Unfortunately we do not have any Win10 Client OnPrem to test this. Sorry, the screenshots are only available in German, but I think the behaviour should talk for itself. Does anyone solved the problem or facing the same issue? Any idea? Thanks in advance! Best SandroAuthorization issue in Private Mode
Hi. I've found that the Edge Chromium prompts for the proxy authorization when try to open a non-secured web-site in Private Mode. It does not provide an option to use company's SmartBadge for proxy authorization in Private Mode as the username/password option is the only offered. It works seamlessly when opening a secured web-site (https://) with no additional authorization needed at all. It also works fine in regular mode for both secured and non-secured web-sites. I've got the case 15259 opened but suggested to post here. I am using Microsoft Edge: Version 80.0.361.32 (Official build) beta (64-bit). Please advise. Thanks! // Anuar
