You can pick up tips and tricks on how to configure Microsoft Edge, how to manage the browser’s security and privacy settings, and how to troubleshoot issues with Edge. SEE: How to protect against 10 common browser threats (free PDF) (TechRepublic) How to download and extract the Group Policy templatesĪ good place to start is the website for Microsoft Edge documentation. Microsoft offers the necessary Group Policy templates to install and configure through your Group Policy Editor. If your organization uses Active Directory, one option is to control Edge through Group Policy.

Learn how to control and update the settings for the Chromium flavor of Edge via Group Policy. If I manually create the RedirectionMode key and then re-launch Edge, it correctly follows the policy and sets RedirectionMode to 0.How to manage the new Microsoft Edge through Group Policy If the BHO doesn't find the key, the default is to redirect. Further digging shows that the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Edge\IEToEdge | RedirectionMode key, which is what the BHO itself uses, is not being created nor set to 0 when the policy is read by Edge. While "Never" is displayed correctly in Edge settings, it doesn't work.
Remember, we had no way to fully test this prior to the 87 release since we're domain-joined.
We also added the RedirectSitesFromInternetExplorerRedirectMode policy, again before the 87 release, just to cover our bases. This isn't documented in the release notes or the ADMX itself, but it's logical since the installer/updater typically runs as system.
While the RedirectSitesFromInternetExplorerPreventBHOInstall policy appears in the User Config, it looks like it fails because the setup doesn't detect the setting unless it's set in the Computer Config. We generally prefer to add settings to the ADMX User Configuration, since it makes exceptions easier to manage. We implemented both policies prior to the Edge 87 release.
