Intune Enterprise Mode site list not deployed to co-managed Windows 10 devices

This article provides a solution for the issue that the Enterprise Mode web sites specified in the device configuration profile aren't deployed to co-managed Windows 10 devices.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

• You use both Microsoft Intune and Configuration Manager to manage your Windows 10 devices.

• You use the application catalog in your Configuration Manager environment.

• You create a device configuration profile in Intune and assign the profile to your Windows 10 devices.

• In the device configuration profile, you specify the Enterprise mode site list location (Desktop only) setting to open a list of web sites in Enterprise Mode on Internet Explorer 11.

  

In this scenario, when you type about:compat in either Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer 11 to view the Enterprise Mode site list, the sites specified in the device configuration profile aren't displayed.

Cause

The application catalog website must be viewed by using Internet Explorer 11 Enterprise Mode, while Microsoft Edge is the default browser in Windows 10.

If you don't have the Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List Group Policy configured, Configuration Manager clients add the application catalog website URL to Microsoft Edge Site List file C:\Windows\CCM\MSEdgeSiteList.xml, and create the following registry entry:

Subkey: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main\EnterpriseMode
Value name: SiteList
Value type: REG_SZ
Value Data: C:\Windows\CCM\MSEdgeSiteList.xml

When the Intune device configuration profile is deployed to the Windows 10 device, it creates the following registry entry:

Subkey: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Browser
Value name: EnterpriseModeSiteList
Value type: REG_SZ
Value Data: <the Enterprise Mode Site List XML file>

However, because the registry value HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main\EnterpriseMode\SiteList already exists, the Windows 10 device ignores the site list assigned by Intune.

Solution

Important

Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.

To fix this issue, follow these steps:

1. Open Registry Editor.

2. Locate HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\CCM, and then create the following registry value:

   Value name: AllowConfigureMicrosoftEdge
   Value type: REG_DWORD
   Value Data: 0

   This disables the Configuration Manager clients from creating the HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main\EnterpriseMode\SiteList registry value.

3. Delete the HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main\EnterpriseMode\SiteList registry value.
