Intranet Redirection Behavior

Computer and userIntune-readyIntranetRedirectBehavior

Supported on Microsoft Edge version 88, Windows 7 or later

155.0.4283.62

What it does

This policy configures behavior for intranet redirection via DNS interception checks. The checks attempt to discover whether the browser is behind a proxy that redirects unknown host names. If this policy isn't configured, the browser uses the default behavior of DNS interception checks and intranet redirect suggestions. In M88, they're enabled by default but will be disabled by default in the future release. 'DNSInterceptionChecksEnabled' (DNS interception checks enabled) is a related policy that might also disable DNS interception checks. However, this policy is a more flexible version which might separately control intranet redirection infobars and might be expanded in the future. If either 'DNSInterceptionChecksEnabled' or this policy make a request to disable interception checks, the checks will be disabled. If DNS interception checks are disabled by this policy but 'GoToIntranetSiteForSingleWordEntryInAddressBar' (Force direct intranet site navigation instead of searching on single word entries in the Address Bar) is enabled, single word queries still result in intranet navigations. Policy options mapping: * Default (0) = Use default browser behavior. * DisableInterceptionChecksDisableInfobar (1) = Disable DNS interception checks and did-you-mean "http://intranetsite/" infobars. * DisableInterceptionChecksEnableInfobar (2) = Disable DNS interception checks; allow did-you-mean "http://intranetsite/" infobars. * EnableInterceptionChecksEnableInfobar (3) = Allow DNS interception checks and did-you-mean "http://intranetsite/" infobars. Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
The generated payload is incomplete because one or more ADMX element values were not supplied: IntranetRedirectBehavior
