(Recommended) HTTPS location*: (we will be using a web server to store our Site List in this blog post).

The Site List is created in the XML format and should be stored in one of the following locations:. In the context of “IE Mode”, a Site List is a list of user defined websites whereby we can manipulate the rendering engine and compatibility mode within Edge Chromium. We will cover this in more detail later but you can easily recognise if a website is being displayed in IE Mode by looking for the IE symbol in the address bar IE Mode is enabled for this website What is a Site List? ⏏ If Edge Chromium is their default browser, they can still open legacy websites in Chromium but we can force the website to use the IE engine to address compatibility issues.

Microsoft have addressed this issue with “IE Mode”. If we don’t use IE Mode, and Edge Chromium is our default web browser, users could face issues when opening legacy websites that should open in IE. IE mode provides an integrated browsing experience in Microsoft Edge, using the integrated Chromium engine for modern sites and leveraging Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) for legacy sites that require the Trident MSHTML engine. IE mode on Microsoft Edge is a simplified experience that combines a modern rendering engine and compatibility with legacy sites that require Internet Explorer in a single browser.

Part 2: Enable IE Mode and use a Site List in Edge Chromium with Microsoft Configuration Manager.

Part 1: Enable IE Mode and use a Site List in Edge Chromium with Microsoft Intune.

Too much interest to focus on delivering this solution with only one half of Endpoint Manager Items Covered I won’t be deep diving how IE Mode works in this post (although I was tempted) but I have posted links to the Microsoft Docs throughout if you want to dig deeper. In this two part mini series we will look at enabling IE Mode in Edge Chromium using both Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Configuration Manager.
