Edge favourites

[Simcfc73]

So after a few days of turning policies off and on I've found some settings that were messing up the default programs assigning.

 

So that's sorted.

 

Trying to work out favourites now.

 

I've set the policies so they sign in automatically and can't change or add another one and the sync says working but it ain't.

 

As soon as I log off and kill the profile the favourites are empty.

 

I'd have thought if the sync says it's working then they should sync.

 

Really need a way to backup the favourites and passwords so not relying on local profiles.

 

Thats the first thing... Annoyingly that's the staff accounts, when i try as a pupil it says the account needs verifying and goes through the mfa setup... Even though those accounts haven't a mfa license attached.

Working now for staff, must have just taken a while to kick in.

 

Now to try and work out the kids issue

This is really weird, I've created a new GP with nothing else on it and got it working .. sort of but other stuff is messing up.

 

Now for some reason I cannot download anything at all. I've removed the Group policy altogether but the setting has set. If I click on a downloadable link it does nothing. I've tried web ones and my intranet but no prompt. I've tried with a profile and without one also.

 

If I click on the link again. it shows a popup with the 'allow multiple downloads from this website' prompt... which I cant see in the GP to turn off either.

 

Oh and the PDF thing isn't working either. I've set it to only use external programs to open PDFs and its defaulting to PDF reader but I am getting errors for that also.

Found the issue.

 

The Policy 'Allow download restrictions' when enabled wont let me download anything.

 

Also the 'Set Download directory' wouldn't work with ${documents}/Downloads even though when I went into the settings it pointed to the right place. I changed it to u:\downloads and it works.

 

I've also removed the external PDF setting which isn't right for some reason.

 

Next issue . I can't get edge sync working through the Sophos XG firewall except when I allow everything through it for the test PC. I've asked the support and they can't see why either. My work PC is happy. It does look like the initial handshake is being blocked... if I close the firewall off after it syncs it seems to stay on.
