Hello. I've been testing IE mode by setting local group policy (via Edge policy template download) and set up the site list on a network drive (Enterprise Site Manager v2). Now I can't make any rhyme or reason on how any updates to the Site List are propagated to the Edge clients. I can force the update with an edge command locally but I'm testing this for enterprise level. I read stuff about a 65 second latency time and I think it all revolves around the version_number in the Site List XML. I've looked in the registry but there is no site list version number key. here is a synopisis of my testing...
Add www.google.com via Enterprise Site Mgr v2.. That +1 on the version number in the Site List XML and appears to do the 65 second update thing. www.google.com eventually loads in IE mode. (version number=4)
Manually add www.msn.com to the Site List XML in notepad, not changing version number and nothing ever happens. The new site, www.msn.com, is never loaded in IE mode. I let that sit overnight, same thing in the morning, no joy for www.msn.com in IE mode. (version number=4)
I decremented (-1) on the version number in Site List xml, www.msn.com seems to load in IE mode after the 65 seconds thing. Still not sure about that 65 second thing. (version number=3)
I put version number back +1 in notepad, added www.yahoo.com to the Site List, and www.yahoo.com never loads in IE mode. (version number=4)
I decrimented (-1) version number with www.yahoo.com and it eventually loads www.yahoo.com in IE mode...but after minutes, way over 65 seconds. (version number=3)
So it appears version number is the key to all of this. It appeared after 3.
above that simply changing it might cause a reload or clear some cache but
that doesn't appear to be the case. There appears to be a "lock" on version 4, which is where the Enterprise Site List Mgr v2 sits. But that should be totally independent. Seeking some insight into this and some
consistency. I'm worried about different version numbers floating around in
registries throughout the enterprise and I'm not sure what is the true
trigger for updates on the clients. And this whole cache thing. Thank you very much.
