Microsoft Edge

Specify how "in-page" navigations to unconfigured sites behave when started from Internet Explorer mode pages

Computer and userIntune-readyInternetExplorerIntegrationSiteRedirect

Supported on Microsoft Edge version 81, Windows 7 or later

What it does

An "in-page" navigation is started from a link, a script, or a form on the current page. It can also be a server-side redirect of a previous "in-page" navigation attempt. Conversely, a user can start a navigation that isn't "in-page" and that's independent of the current page in several ways by using the browser controls, for example, using the address bar, the back button, or a favorite link. This setting lets you specify whether navigations from pages loaded in Internet Explorer mode to unconfigured sites (that aren't configured in the Enterprise Mode Site List) switch back to Microsoft Edge or remain in Internet Explorer mode. This setting works in conjunction with 'InternetExplorerIntegrationLevel' (Configure Internet Explorer integration) policy that's set to 'IEMode', and with 'InternetExplorerIntegrationSiteList' (Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List) policy where the list has at least one entry. If you disable or don't configure this policy, only sites configured to open in Internet Explorer mode open in that mode. Any site not configured to open in Internet Explorer mode is redirected back to Microsoft Edge. If you set this policy to 'Default', only sites configured to open in Internet Explorer mode open in that mode. Any site not configured to open in Internet Explorer mode is redirected back to Microsoft Edge. If you set this policy to 'AutomaticNavigationsOnly', you get the default experience except that all automatic navigations (such as 302 redirects) to unconfigured sites are kept in Internet Explorer mode. If you set this policy to 'AllInPageNavigations', all navigations from pages loaded in IE mode to unconfigured sites are kept in Internet Explorer mode (Least Recommended). If the 'InternetExplorerIntegrationReloadInIEModeAllowed' (Allow unconfigured sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode) policy allows users to reload sites in Internet Explorer mode, then all in-page navigations from unconfigured sites that users have chosen to reload in Internet Explorer mode are kept in Internet Explorer mode, regardless of how this policy is configured. To learn more about Internet Explorer mode, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2105106. Policy options mapping: * Default (0) = Default * AutomaticNavigationsOnly (1) = Keep only automatic navigations in Internet Explorer mode * AllInPageNavigations (2) = Keep all in-page navigations in Internet Explorer mode Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.
