Jaan Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 We just had email from Google saying that Google services will soon stop supporting ie11. This got me thinking of when is best to remove it...... was thinking applocker rather than removing to be honest. So...... have you remove it yet?
TechMonkey Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Nope. Banking software still demands it due to a plugin they will not update.
aicrd Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Can't remove it as a lot of apps still rely on it. I believe Visual Studio still uses it for auth, as it borks when IE is removed via Programs and Features.
Jaan Posted March 2, 2021 Author Posted March 2, 2021 Nope. Banking software still demands it due to a plugin they will not update. Same reason i've not removed it yet. Finance!
jthompson Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Not yet, but once we've deployed new Edge successfully I'll look at disabling it. Our CCTV system relies on an ActiveX plugin, but thankfully that still works in IE mode in new Edge. Hopefully there's nothing left here that will require standalone IE.
ITGuyNW Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Nope as Windows 10 seems to still to rely on it and Internet Options for various things.

They provide a program so that you can view cameras/recordings without IE. Ours came on a CD with the NVRs. HIKCentral (maybe?)
Michael Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 A lot of Birmingham schools still use HR Portal - works only in IE, in Compatibility mode, with Java installed and a million exceptions. A good example how to host a website from 1995. 2
TechMonkey Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 If we all thought Flash dying was fun, I can't wait till 2025 when IE11 finally completely dies.
network41 Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Banking software and our Mitel system depend on it

6Foot2 Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Voted 'No' in the poll, as I think my last place may still be using IE for CCTV playback (despite HIKCentral availability)
paulkerton Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Amazing how Fintech is so behind the curve, considering how it's secure we really need it to be. Plugins for finance websites, in 2021.
jthompson Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Can IE mode on Edge not take care of these finance sites?
Jcx500 Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) We hide it for staff who don’t need it, 95% of staff do not need it , the staff that do need it have an ie shortcut on the desktop and are advised to only use it if they need to We moved to chromium edge/ google chrome over the summer Edited March 2, 2021 by Jcx500
caffrey Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Yep bank software here, and tponline I believe still needs it
DJ-1701 Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 No, haven't got rid of it but certainly not putting it on display either. Any online site today that requires Internet Explorer is ridiculous, and should be avoided is possible. Systems with ActiveX controls should be moved away from as well if possible. IE has had a long run, but it's time for it to be retired now with most websites designed for modern browsers.

How do you hide it from the quick launch area?
eddyc Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 We completely removed it over the summer as part of our task sequences calling a power shell script to remove it. All devices have Chromium Edge and Google Chrome available on them. We’ve had no issues at all and it’s resolved lots of issues for those users who use to use it. Particularly on those site which no longer supported it.
Jcx500 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Do you hide it using a GPO? How do you hide it from the quick launch area? We have a neat little piece of software what does our shortcuts
techie17 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 We have a neat little piece of software what does our shortcuts Is this something you’ve created in house or downloaded?
clareq Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 We hid the shortcut (redirected start menu), and set the default browser to Edge, Chrome is also available. If there is a website that will only run in IE then that gets a shortcut that calls IE to run it.
Jcx500 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Is this something you’ve created in house or downloaded? Its included in a tool we use to manage users https://www.burconix.com/software/overview
Jaan Posted March 3, 2021 Author Posted March 3, 2021 Has anybody seen the actual date MS stop providing security update for IE11 ? i can't seem to find that. i can find when things aren't supported...... cheers
MartinT Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Barclays payment software needs it. Damned annoying, just one user stopping me from killing it dead.
