During this process, you'll also assign roles and groups. - -The available roles are: - -- **Requester.** The primary role to assign to employees that need to access the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal. The Requester can create change requests, validate changes in the pre-production environment, rollback pre-production and production changes in case of failure, send personal approval requests, view personal change requests, and sign off and close personal change requests. - -- **App Manager.** This role is considered part of the Approvers group. The App Manager can approve change requests, validate changes in the pre-production environment, rollback pre-production and production changes in case of failure, send personal approval requests, view personal requests, and sign off and close personal requests. - -- **Group Head.** This role is considered part of the Approvers group. The Group Head can approve change requests, validate changes in the pre-production environment, rollback pre-production and production changes in case of failure, send personal approval requests, view personal requests, and sign off and close personal requests. - -- **Administrator.** The role with the highest-level rights; we recommend limiting the number of employees you grant this role. The Administrator can perform any task that can be performed by the other roles, in addition to adding employees to the portal, assigning employee roles, approving registrations to the portal, configuring portal settings (for example, determining the freeze schedule, determining the pre-production and production XML paths, and determining the attachment upload location), and using the standalone Enterprise Mode Site List Manager page. - -**To add an employee to the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal** -1. Open the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal and click the **Employee Management** icon in the upper-right area of the page. - - The **Employee management** page appears. - -2.

**Important**
This text file is only lets you add multiple sites at the same time. You can’t use this file to deploy Enterprise Mode into your company.
-
-You must separate each site using commas or carriage returns. For example:
-
-```
-microsoft.com, bing.com, bing.com/images
-```
-**-OR-**
-
-```
-microsoft.com
-bing.com
-bing.com/images
-```
-
-## Create an Enterprise Mode site list (XML) file using the v.1 version of the Enterprise Mode schema
-You can create and use a custom XML file with the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to add multiple sites to your Enterprise Mode site list at the same time. For more info about the v.1 version of the Enterprise Mode schema, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-1-guidance.md).
-
-Each XML file must include:
-
-- **Version number.** This number must be incremented with each version of the Enterprise Mode site list, letting Internet Explorer know whether the list is new. Approximately 65 seconds after Internet Explorer 11 starts, it compares your site list version to the stored version number. If your file has a higher number, the newer version is loaded.
**Important**
After this check, IE11 won’t look for an updated list again until you restart the browser.
-
-- **<emie> tag.** This tag specifies the domains and domain paths that must be rendered using IE7 Enterprise Mode, IE8 Enterprise Mode, or the default IE11 browser environment.
**Important**
If you decide a site requires IE7 Enterprise Mode, you must add `forceCompatView=”true”` to your XML file. That code tells Enterprise Mode to check for a `DOCTYPE` tag on the specified webpage. If there is, the site renders using Windows Internet Explorer 7. If there’s no tag, the site renders using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.

-- **<docMode> tag.**This tag specifies the domains and domain paths that need either to appear using the specific doc mode you assigned to the site. Enterprise Mode takes precedence over document modes, so sites that are already included in the Enterprise Mode site list won’t be affected by this update and will continue to load in Enterprise Mode, as usual. For more specific info about using document modes, see [Fix web compatibility issues using document modes and the Enterprise Mode site list](fix-compat-issues-with-doc-modes-and-enterprise-mode-site-list.md).

-### Enterprise Mode v.1 XML schema example
-The following is an example of what your XML file should look like when you’re done adding your sites. For more info about how to create your XML file, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-1-guidance.md).
-
-```
-
**Important**
If `CurrentVersion` is not set or is wrong, it means that the XML parsing failed. This can mean that the XML file isn’t there, that there are access problems, or that the XML file format is wrong. Don’t manually change the `CurrentVersion` registry setting. You must make your changes to your site list and then update the list using the import function in the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (.
-
-## Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)
-After you create your .xml or .txt file, you can bulk add the sites to the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1).
-
- **To add multiple sites**
-
-1. In the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1), click **Bulk add from file**.
-
-2. Go to your site list (either .txt or .xml) to add the included sites to the tool, and then click **Open**.
-Each site is validated and if successful, added to the global site list when you click **OK** to close the menu. If a site doesn’t pass validation, you can try to fix the issues or pick the site and click **Add to list** to ignore the validation problem. For more information about fixing validation problems, see [Fix validation problems using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](fix-compat-issues-with-doc-modes-and-enterprise-mode-site-list.md). - -3. Click **OK** to close the **Bulk add sites to the list** menu. - -4. On the **File** menu, click **Save to XML**, and save your file.
-You can save the file locally or to a network share. However, you must make sure you deploy it to the location specified in your registry key. For more information about the registry key, see [Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list](turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list.md).
-
-## Next steps
-After you’ve added all of your sites to the tool and saved the file to XML, you can configure the rest of the Enterprise Mode functionality to use it. You can also turn Enterprise Mode on locally, so your users have the option to use Enterprise Mode on individual websites from the **Tools** menu. For more information, see [Turn on local control and logging for Enterprise Mode](turn-on-local-control-and-logging-for-enterprise-mode.md).

-# Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-
-You can add multiple sites to your Enterprise Mode site list by creating a custom text (TXT) or Extensible Markup Language (XML) file of problematic sites and then adding it in the **Bulk add from file** area of the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2). You can only add specific URLs, not Internet or Intranet Zones.
-
-To add your websites one at a time, see [Add sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](add-single-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-2-enterprise-mode-tool.md).
-
-## Create an Enterprise Mode site list (TXT) file
-
-You can create and use a custom text file with the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) to add multiple sites to your Enterprise Mode site list at the same time.
-
->**Important:**
This text file is only lets you add multiple sites at the same time. You can’t use this file to deploy Enterprise Mode into your company.
-
-You must separate each site using commas or carriage returns. For example:
-
-```
-microsoft.com, bing.com, bing.com/images
-```
-**-OR-**
-
-```
-microsoft.com
-bing.com
-bing.com/images
-```
-
-## Create an Enterprise Mode site list (XML) file using the v.2 version of the Enterprise Mode schema
-
-You can create and use a custom XML file with the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) to add multiple sites to your Enterprise Mode site list at the same time.
-
-Each XML file must include:
-
-- **site-list version number**. This number must be incremented with each version of the Enterprise Mode site list, letting Internet Explorer know whether the list is new. Approximately 65 seconds after Internet Explorer 11 starts, it compares your site list version to the stored version number. If your file has a higher number, the newer version is loaded.
**Important**
After this check, IE11 won’t look for an updated list again until you restart the browser.
-
-- **<compat-mode> tag.** This tag specifies what compatibility setting are used for specific sites or domains.
-
-- **<open-in> tag.** This tag specifies what browser opens for each sites or domain.

-
-## Adding a site to your compatibility list
-You can add individual sites to your compatibility list by using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager.
-
**Note**
If you're using the v.2 version of the Enterprise Mode schema, you'll need to use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1). For more info, see [Add sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](add-single-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-2-enterprise-mode-tool.md).
-
- **To add a site to your compatibility list using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)**
-
-1. In the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1), click **Add**.
-
-2. Type the URL for the website that’s experiencing compatibility problems, like *<domain>.com* or *<domain>.com*/*<path>* into the **URL** box.
-Don't include the `https://` or `https://` designation. The tool automatically tries both versions during validation. - -3. Type any comments about the website into the **Notes about URL** box.
-Administrators can only see comments while they’re in this tool. - -4. Choose **IE7 Enterprise Mode**, **IE8 Enterprise Mode**, or the appropriate document mode for sites that must be rendered using the emulation of a previous version of IE, or pick **Default IE** if the site should use the latest version of IE. - -The path within a domain can require a different compatibility mode from the domain itself. For example, the domain might look fine in the default IE11 browser, but the path might have problems and require the use of Enterprise Mode. If you added the domain previously, your original compatibility choice is still selected. However, if the domain is new, **IE8 Enterprise Mode** is automatically selected. - -Enterprise Mode takes precedence over document modes, so sites that are already included in the Enterprise Mode site list won’t be affected by this update and will continue to load in Enterprise Mode, as usual. For more specific info about using document modes, see [Fix web compatibility issues using document modes and the Enterprise Mode site list](fix-compat-issues-with-doc-modes-and-enterprise-mode-site-list.md). - -5. Click **Save** to validate your website and to add it to the site list for your enterprise.
-If your site passes validation, it’s added to the global compatibility list. If the site doesn’t pass validation, you’ll get an error message explaining the problem. You’ll then be able to either cancel the site or ignore the validation problem and add it to your list anyway. - -6. On the **File** menu, go to where you want to save the file, and then click **Save to XML**.
-You can save the file locally or to a network share. However, you must make sure you deploy it to the location specified in your registry key.

There are two types of Administrative Templates: - -- **ADMX.** A language-neutral setup file that states the number and type of policy setting, and the location by category, as it shows up in the Local Group Policy Editor. - -- **ADML.** A language-specific setup file that provides language-related information to the ADMX file. This file lets the policy setting show up in the right language in the Local Group Policy Editor. You can add new languages by adding new ADML files in the required language. - -## How do I store Administrative Templates? -As an admin, you can create a central store folder on your SYSVOL directory, named **PolicyDefinitions**. For example, %*SystemRoot*%\\PolicyDefinitions. This folder provides a single, centralized storage location for your Administrative Templates (both ADMX and ADML) files, so they can be used by your domain-based Group Policy Objects (GPOs). -
**Important**
Your Group Policy tools use the ADMX files in your store, ignoring any local copies. For more information about creating a central store, see [Scenario 1: Editing the Local GPO Using ADMX Files](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=276810).
-
-## Administrative Templates-related Group Policy settings
-When you install Internet Explorer 11, it updates the local administrative files, Inetres.admx and Inetres.adml, both located in the **PolicyDefinitions** folder.
-
**Note**
You won't see the new policy settings if you try to view or edit your policy settings on a computer that isn't running IE11. To fix this, you can either install IE11, or you can copy the updated Inetres.admx and Inetres.adml files from another computer to the **PolicyDefinitions** folder on this computer.
-
-IE11 provides these new policy settings, which are editable in the Local Group Policy Editor, and appear in the following policy paths:
-
-- Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\
-
-- User Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\
-
-
-|Catalog |Description |
-| ------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------|
-|IE |Turns standard IE configuration on and off. |
-|Internet Explorer\Accelerators |Sets up and manages Accelerators. |
-|Internet Explorer\Administrator Approved Controls |Turns ActiveX controls on and off. |
-|Internet Explorer\Application Compatibility |Turns the **Cut**, **Copy**, or **Paste** operations on or off. This setting also requires that `URLACTION_SCRIPT_PASTE` is set to **Prompt**. |
-|Internet Explorer\Browser Menus |Shows or hides the IE menus and menu options.|
-|Internet Explorer\Corporate Settings |Turns off whether you specify the code download path for each computer. |
-|Internet Explorer\Delete Browsing History |Turns the **Delete Browsing History** settings on and off. |
-|Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel |Turns pages on and off in the **Internet Options** dialog box. Also turns on and off the subcategories that manage settings on the **Content**, **General**, **Security** and **Advanced** pages. |
-|Internet Explorer\Internet Settings |Sets up and manages the **Advanced settings**, **AutoComplete**, **Display Settings**, and **URL Encoding** options. |
-|Internet Explorer\Persistence Behavior |Sets up and manages the file size limits for Internet security zones. |
-|Internet Explorer\Privacy |Turns various privacy-related features on and off. |
-|Internet Explorer\Security Features |Turns various security-related features on and off in the browser, Windows Explorer, and other applications. |
-|Internet Explorer\Toolbars |Turns on and off the ability for users to edit toolbars in the browser. You can also set the default toolbar buttons here. |
-|RSS Feeds |Sets up and manages RSS feeds in the browser. |
-
-
-## Editing Group Policy settings
-Regardless which tool you're using to edit your Group Policy settings, you'll need to follow one of these guides for step-by-step editing instructions:
-
-- **If you're using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) or the Local Group Policy Editor.** See [Edit Administrative Template Policy Settings](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=214521) for step-by-step instructions about editing your Administrative Templates.
-
-- **If you're using GPMC with Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM).** See [Checklist: Create, Edit, and Deploy a GPO](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=214522) for step-by-step instructions about how to check out a GPO from the AGPM archive, edit it, and request deployment.

-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-You can have centralized control over Enterprise Mode by creating a single, global XML site list that includes the list of websites to render using Enterprise Mode. You can add and remove sites from your XML list as frequently as you want, changing which sites should render in Enterprise Mode for your employees. For information about turning on Enterprise Mode and using site lists, see [Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list](turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list.md).
-
-The information in this topic only covers HTTPS protocol. We strongly recommend that you use HTTPS protocol instead of file protocol due to increased performance.
-
-**How Internet Explorer 11 looks for an updated site list**
-
-1. Internet Explorer starts up and looks for an updated site list in the following places:
-
- 1. **In the cache container.** IE first checks the cache container to see if it finds your XML site list.
-
- 2. **In the local cache.** If there’s nothing in the cache container, IE checks your local cache for the site list.
-
- 3. **On the server.** Based on standard IE caching rules, IE might look for a copy of your site list in the location you put specified in the **SiteList** value of the registry.
-
-2. If there’s an .xml file in the cache container, IE waits 65 seconds and then checks the local cache for a newer version of the file from the server, based on standard caching rules. If the server file has a different version number than the version in the cache container, the server file is used and stored in the cache container.
**Note**
If you’re already using a site list, enterprise mode continues to work during the 65 second wait; it just uses your existing site list instead of your new one.

-# Collect data using Enterprise Site Discovery
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-Use Internet Explorer to collect data on computers running Windows Internet Explorer 8 through Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 7. This inventory information helps you build a list of websites used by your company so you can make more informed decisions about your IE deployments, including figuring out which sites might be at risk or require overhauls during future upgrades.
-
->**Upgrade Analytics and Windows upgrades**
->You can use Upgrade Analytics to help manage your Windows 10 upgrades on devices running Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 (SP1). You can also use Upgrade Analytics to review several site discovery reports. Check out Upgrade Analytics from [here](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/deploy/upgrade-analytics-get-started).
-
-
-## Before you begin
-Before you start, you need to make sure you have the following:
-
-- Latest cumulative security update (for all supported versions of Internet Explorer):
-
- 1. Go to the [Microsoft Security Bulletin](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=718223) page, and change the filter to **Windows Internet Explorer 11**.
-
- 
-
- 2. Click the title of the latest cumulative security update, and then scroll down to the **Affected software** table.
-
- 
-
- 3. Click the link that represents both your operating system version and Internet Explorer 11, and then follow the instructions in the **How to get this update** section.
-
-- [Setup and configuration package](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=517719), including:
-
- - Configuration-related PowerShell scripts
-
- - IETelemetry.mof file
-
- - Sample Configuration Manager report templates
-
- You must use System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager or later for these samples to work.
-
-Both the PowerShell script and the Managed Object Format (.MOF) file need to be copied to the same location on the client device, before you run the scripts.
-
-## What data is collected?
-Data is collected on the configuration characteristics of IE and the sites it browses, as shown here.
-
-|Data point |IE11 |IE10 |IE9 |IE8 |Description |
-|------------------------|-----|-----|-----|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-|URL | X | X | X | X |URL of the browsed site, including any parameters included in the URL. |
-|Domain | X | X | X | X |Top-level domain of the browsed site. |
-|ActiveX GUID | X | X | X | X |GUID of the ActiveX controls loaded by the site. |
-|Document mode | X | X | X | X |Document mode used by IE for a site, based on page characteristics. |
-|Document mode reason | X | X | | |The reason why a document mode was set by IE. |
-|Browser state reason | X | X | | |Additional information about why the browser is in its current state. Also called, browser mode. |
-|Hang count | X | X | X | X |Number of visits to the URL when the browser hung. |
-|Crash count | X | X | X | X |Number of visits to the URL when the browser crashed. |
-|Most recent navigation failure (and count) | X | X | X | X |Description of the most recent navigation failure (like, a 404 bad request or 500 internal server error) and the number of times it happened. |
-|Number of visits | X | X | X | X |Number of times a site has been visited. |
-|Zone | X | X | X | X |Zone used by IE to browse sites, based on browser settings. |
-
-
->**Important**
By default, IE doesn’t collect this data; you have to turn this feature on if you want to use it. After you turn on this feature, data is collected on all sites visited by IE, except during InPrivate sessions. Additionally, the data collection process is silent, so there’s no notification to the employee. Therefore, you must get consent from the employee before you start collecting info. You must also make sure that using this feature complies with all applicable local laws and regulatory requirements.
-
-### Understanding the returned reason codes
-The following tables provide more info about the Document mode reason, Browser state reason, and the Zone codes that are returned as part of your data collection.
-
-#### DocMode reason
-The codes in this table can tell you what document mode was set by IE for a webpage.
These codes only apply to Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11.
-
-|Code |Description |
-|-----|------------|
-|3 |Page state is set by the `FEATURE_DOCUMENT_COMPATIBLE_MODE` feature control key.|
-|4 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible meta tag. |
-|5 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible HTTP header. |
-|6 |Page appears on an active **Compatibility View** list. |
-|7 |Page is using native XML parsing. |
-|8 |Page is using a special Quirks Mode Emulation (QME) mode that uses the modern layout engine, but the quirks behavior of Internet Explorer 5. |
-|9 |Page state is set by the browser mode and the page's DOCTYPE.|
-
-#### Browser state reason
-The codes in this table can tell you why the browser is in its current state. Also called “browser mode”.
These codes only apply to Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11.
-
-|Code |Description |
-|-----|------------|
-|1 |Site is on the intranet, with the **Display intranet sites in Compatibility View** box checked. |
-|2 |Site appears on an active **Compatibility View** list, created in Group Policy. |
-|3 |Site appears on an active **Compatibility View** list, created by the user. |
-|4 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible tag. |
-|5 |Page state is set by the **Developer** toolbar. |
-|6 |Page state is set by the `FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION` feature control key. |
-|7 |Site appears on the Microsoft **Compatibility View (CV)** list. |
-|8 |Site appears on the **Quirks** list, created in Group Policy. |
-|11 |Site is using the default browser. |
-
-#### Zone
-The codes in this table can tell you what zone is being used by IE to browse sites, based on browser settings.
These codes apply to Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 10, and Internet Explorer 11.
-
-|Code |Description |
-|-----|------------|
-|-1 |Internet Explorer is using an invalid zone. |
-|0 |Internet Explorer is using the Local machine zone. |
-|1 |Internet Explorer is using the Local intranet zone. |
-|2 |Internet Explorer is using the Trusted sites zone. |
-|3 |Internet Explorer is using the Internet zone. |
-|4 |Internet Explorer is using the Restricted sites zone. |
-
-## Where is the data stored and how do I collect it?
-The data is stored locally, in an industry-standard WMI class, .MOF file or in an XML file, depending on your configuration. This file remains on the client computer until it’s collected. To collect the files, we recommend:
-
-- **WMI file**. Use Microsoft Configuration Manager or any agent that can read the contents of a WMI class on your computer.
-
-- **XML file**. Any agent that works with XML can be used.
-
-## WMI Site Discovery suggestions
-We recommend that you collect your data for at most a month at a time, to capture a user’s typical workflow. We don’t recommend collecting data longer than that because the data is stored in a WMI provider and can fill up your computer’s hard drive. You may also want to collect data only for pilot users or a representative sample of people, instead of turning this feature on for everyone in your company.
-
-On average, a website generates about 250bytes of data for each visit, causing only a minor impact to Internet Explorer’s performance. Over the course of a month, collecting data from 20 sites per day from 1,000 users, you’ll get about 150MB of data:
250 bytes (per site visit) X 20 sites/day X 30 days = (approximately) 150KB X 1000 users = (approximately) 150MB
-
->**Important**
The data collection process is silent, so there’s no notification to the employee. Therefore, you must get consent from the employee before you start collecting info. You must also make sure that using this feature complies with all applicable local laws and regulatory requirements.
-
-## Getting ready to use Enterprise Site Discovery
-Before you can start to collect your data, you must run the provided PowerShell script (IETelemetrySetUp.ps1) on your client devices to start generating the site discovery data and to set up a place to store this data locally. Then, you must start collecting the site discovery data from the client devices, using one of these three options:
-
-- Collect your hardware inventory using the MOF Editor, while connecting to a client device.
--OR- -- Collect your hardware inventory using the MOF Editor with a .MOF import file.
--OR-
-- Collect your hardware inventory using the SMS\DEF.MOF file (Configuration Manager 2007 only)
-
-### WMI only: Running the PowerShell script to compile the .MOF file and to update security privileges
-You need to set up your computers for data collection by running the provided PowerShell script (IETelemetrySetUp.ps1) to compile the .mof file and to update security privileges for the new WMI classes.
-
->**Important**
You must run this script if you’re using WMI as your data output. It's not necessary if you're using XML as your data output.
-
-**To set up Enterprise Site Discovery**
-
-- Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 by by-passing the PowerShell execution policy, using this command: `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass .\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1`. For more info, see [about Execution Policies](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=517460).
-
-### WMI only: Set up your firewall for WMI data
-If you choose to use WMI as your data output, you need to make sure that your WMI data can travel through your firewall for the domain. If you’re sure, you can skip this section; otherwise, follow these steps:
-
-**To set up your firewall**
-
-1. In **Control Panel**, click **System and Security**, and then click **Windows Firewall**.
-
-2. In the left pane, click **Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall** and scroll down to check the box for **Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)**.
-
-3. Restart your computer to start collecting your WMI data.
-
-## Use PowerShell to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery
-You can determine which zones or domains are used for data collection, using PowerShell. If you don’t want to use PowerShell, you can do this using Group Policy. For more info, see [Use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery](#use-group-policy-to-finish-setting-up-enterprise-site-discovery).
-
->**Important**
The .ps1 file updates turn on Enterprise Site Discovery and WMI collection for all users on a device.
-
-- **Domain allow list.** If you have a domain allow list, a comma-separated list of domains that should have this feature turned on, you should use this process.
-
-- **Zone allow list.** If you have a zone allow list, a comma-separated list of zones that should have this feature turned on, you should use this process.
-
-**To set up data collection using a domain allow list**
-
-- Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1, using this command: `.\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 [other args] -SiteAllowList sharepoint.com,outlook.com,onedrive.com`.
-
- >**Important**
Wildcards, like \*.microsoft.com, aren’t supported.
-
-**To set up data collection using a zone allow list**
-
-- Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1, using this command: `.\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 [other args] -ZoneAllowList Computer,Intranet,TrustedSites,Internet,RestrictedSites`.
-
- >**Important**
Only Computer, Intranet, TrustedSites, Internet, and RestrictedSites are supported.
-
-## Use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery
-You can use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery. If you don’t want to use Group Policy, you can do this using PowerShell. For more info, see [Use Powershell to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery](#use-powershell-to-finish-setting-up-enterprise-site-discovery).
-
->**Note**
All of the Group Policy settings can be used individually or as a group.
-
- **To set up Enterprise Site Discovery using Group Policy**
-
-- Open your Group Policy editor, and go to these new settings:
-
- |Setting name and location |Description |Options |

-3. The Requester clicks **Schedule**, sets the **Preferred day**, **Preferred start time**, and the **Preferred end time**, and then clicks **Save**.
-
- The update is scheduled to update the production environment on that day and time and an email is sent to the Requester. After the update finishes, the Requester will be asked to verify the changes.
-
-
-## Next steps
-After the update to the production environment completes, the Requester must again test the change. If the testing succeeds, the Requester can sign off on the change request. If the testing fails, the Requester can contact the Administrator group for more help. For the production environment testing steps, see the [Verify the change request update in the production environment using the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal](verify-changes-production-enterprise-mode-portal.md) topic.

-# Set up Enterprise Mode logging and data collection
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-Using Group Policy, you can turn on Enterprise Mode for Internet Explorer and then you can turn on local user control using the **Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu** setting, located in the `Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer` category path. After you turn this setting on, your users can turn on Enterprise Mode locally, from the IE **Tools** menu.
-
-
-
-The **Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu** setting also lets you decide where to send the user reports (as a URL). We recommend creating a custom HTTP port 81 to let your incoming user information go to a dedicated site. A dedicated site is important so you can quickly pick out the Enterprise Mode traffic from your other website traffic.
-
-
-
-Getting these reports lets you find out about sites that aren’t working right, so you can add them to your Enterprise Mode site list, without having to locate them all yourself. For more information about creating and using a site list, see the [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-2-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md) or the [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-1-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md) topic, based on your operating system.
-
-## Using ASP to collect your data
-When you turn logging on, you need a valid URL that points to a server that can be listened to for updates to a user’s registry key. This means you need to set up an endpoint server for the incoming POST messages, which are sent every time the user turns Enterprise Mode on or off from the **Tools** menu.
-
- **To set up an endpoint server**
-
-1. Configure an IIS server to work with your Enterprise Mode data collection process. If you’re unsure how to set up IIS, see the [IIS installation webpage](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=507609).
-
-2. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) and turn on the ASP components from the **Add Roles and Features Wizard**, **Server Roles** page.
-This lets you create an ASP form that accepts the incoming POST messages.
-
-3. Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, click **Bindings**, highlight **Port 81**, click **Edit**, and then change the website information to point to Port 81 so it matches your custom-created port.
-
- 
-
-4. Open the **Logging** feature, pick **W3C** for the format, and click **Select Fields** to open the **W3C Logging Fields** box.
-
- 
-
-5. Change the WC3 logging fields to include only the **Date**, **Client IP**, **User Name**, and **URI Query** standard fields, and then click **OK**.
-Using only these fields keeps the log file simple, giving you the date, client IP address, and the website URI information for any site changed by your users.
-
-6. Apply these changes to your default website and close the IIS Manager.
-
-7. Put your EmIE.asp file into the root of the web server, using this command:
-
- ```
- <% @ LANGUAGE=javascript %>
- <%
- Response.AppendToLog(" ;" + Request.Form("URL") + " ;" + Request.Form("EnterpriseMode"));
- %>
- ```
-This code logs your POST fields to your IIS log file, where you can review all of the collected data.
-
-
-### IIS log file information
-This is what your log files will look like after you set everything up and at least one of your users has turned on Enterprise Mode locally from the **Tools** menu. You can see the URL of the problematic website and client IP address of the user that turned on Enterprise Mode.
-
-
-
-
-## Using the GitHub sample to collect your data
-Microsoft has created the [EMIE-Data-Collection_Sample](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=507401) that shows how to collect your Enterprise Mode reports. This sample only shows how to collect data, it doesn’t show how to aggregate the data into your Enterprise Mode site list.
-This sample starts with you turning on Enterprise Mode and logging (either through Group Policy, or by manually setting the EnterpriseMode registry key) so that your users can use Enterprise Mode locally. For the steps to do this, go to [Turn on local control and logging for Enterprise Mode](turn-on-local-control-and-logging-for-enterprise-mode.md).
-
-**Note**
-The required packages are automatically downloaded and included in the solution.
-
- **To set up your endpoint server**
-
-1. Right-click on the name, PhoneHomeSample, and click **Publish**.
-
- 
-
-2. In the **Publish Web** wizard, pick the publishing target and options that work for your organization.
-
- **Important**
-If you’re already on the webpage, you’ll need to refresh the page to see the results.
-
- 
-
-
-### Troubleshooting publishing errors
-If you have errors while you’re publishing your project, you should try to update your packages.
-
- **To update your packages**
-
-1. From the **Tools** menu of Microsoft Visual Studio, click **NuGet Package Manager**, and click **Manage NuGet Packages for Solution**.
-
- 
-
-2. Click **Updates** on the left side of the tool, and click the **Update All** button.
-You may need to do some additional package cleanup to remove older package versions.

-# Set up the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-The Enterprise Mode Site List Portal is an open-source web tool on GitHub that allows you to manage your Enterprise Mode Site List, hosted by the app, with multiple users. The portal is designed to use IIS and a SQL Server backend, leveraging Active Directory (AD) for employee management. Updates to your site list are made by submitting new change requests, which are then approved by a designated group of people, put into a pre-production environment for testing, and then deployed immediately, or scheduled for deployment later.
-
-Before you can begin using the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal, you must set up your environment.
-
-## Step 1 - Copy the deployment folder to the web server
-You must download the deployment folder (**EMIEWebPortal/**), which includes all of the source code for the website, from the [Enterprise Mode Site List Portal](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/enterprise-mode-site-list-portal) site to your web server.
-
-**To download the source code**
-1. Download the deployment folder from the [Enterprise Mode Site List Portal](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/enterprise-mode-site-list-portal) source code to your web server.
-
-2. Install the Node.js® package manager, [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/).
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > You need to install the npm package manager to replace all the third-party libraries we removed to make the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal open-source.
-
-3. Open File Explorer and then open the **EMIEWebPortal/** folder.
-
-4. Press and hold **Shift**, right-click the window, then click **Open PowerShell window here**.
-
-5. Type _npm i_ into the command prompt, then press **Enter**.
-
- Installs the npm package manager and bulk adds all the third-party libraries back into your codebase.
-
-6. Go back up a directory, open the solution file **EMIEWebPortal.sln** in Visual Studio, and then build the entire solution.
-
-7. Copy the contents of the **EMIEWebPortal/** folder to a dedicated folder on your file system. For example, _D:\EMIEWebApp_. In a later step, you'll designate this folder as your website in the IIS Manager.
-
-## Step 2 - Create the Application Pool and website, by using IIS
-Create a new Application Pool and the website, by using the IIS Manager.
-
-**To create a new Application Pool**
-1. In IIS Manager, expand your local computer in the **Connections** pane, right-click **Application Pools**, then click **Add Application Pool**.
-
- The **Add Application Pool** box appears.
-
-2. In the **Add Application Pool** box, enter the following info:
-
- - **Name.** Type the name of your new application pool. For example, _EMIEWebAppPool_.
-
- - **.NET CLR version.** Pick the version of .NET CLR used by your application pool from the drop-down box. It must be version 4.0 or higher.
-
- - **Managed pipeline mode.** Pick **Integrated** from the drop-down box. IIS uses the integrated IIS and ASP.NET request-processing pipeline for managed content.
-
-3. Click **OK**.
-
-4. Select your new application pool from the **Application Pool** pane, click **Advanced Settings** from the **Edit Application Pool** area of the **Actions** pane.
-
- The **Advanced Settings** box appears.
-
-5. Make sure your **Identity** value is **ApplicationPoolIdentity**, click **OK**, and then close the box.
-
-6. Open File Explorer and go to your deployment directory, created in Step 1. For example, _D:\EMIEWebApp_.
-
-7. Right-click on the directory, click **Properties**, and then click the **Security** tab.
-
-8. Add your new application pool to the list (for example, _IIS AppPool\EMIEWebAppPool_) with **Full control access**, making sure the location searches the local computer.
-
-9. Add **Everyone** to the list with **Read & execute access**.
-
-**To create the website**
-1. In IIS Manager, expand your local computer in the **Connections** pane, right-click **Sites**, then click **Add Website**.
-
- The **Add Website** box appears.
-
-2. In the **Add Website** box, type the name of your website into the **Site name** box. For example, _EMIEWebApp_, and then click **Select**.
-
- The **Select Application Pool** box appears.
-
-4. Pick the name of the application pool created earlier in this step, and then click **OK**. For example, _EMIEWebAppPool_.
-
-5. In the **Physical path** box, browse to your folder that contains your deployment directory. For example, _D:\EMIEWebApp_.
-
-6. Set up your **Binding**, including your **Binding Type**, **IP address**, and **Port**, as appropriate for your organization.
-
-7. Clear the **Start Website immediately** check box, and then click **OK**.
-
-8. In IIS Manager, expand your local computer, and then double-click your new website. For example, _EMIEWebApp_.
-
- The **<website_name> Home** pane appears.
-
-9. Double-click the **Authentication** icon, right-click on **Windows Authentication**, and then click **Enable**.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > You must also make sure that **Anonymous Authentication** is marked as **Enabled**.
-
-10. Return to the **<website_name> Home** pane, and double-click the **Connection Strings** icon.
-
-11. Open the **LOBMergedEntities Connection String** to edit:
-
- - **Data source.** Type the name of your local computer.
-
- - **Initial catalog.** The name of your database.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > Step 3 of this topic provides the steps to create your database.
-
-## Step 3 - Create and prep your database
-Create a SQL Server database and run our custom query to create the Enterprise Mode Site List tables.
-
-**To create and prep your database**
-1. Start SQL Server Management Studio.
-
-2. Open **Object Explorer** and then connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine.
-
-3. Expand the instance, right-click on **Databases**, and then click **New Database**.
-
-4. Type a database name. For example, _EMIEDatabase_.
-
-5. Leave all default values for the database files, and then click **OK**.
-
-6. Open the **DatabaseScripts/Create DB Tables/1_CreateEMIETables.sql** query file, located in the deployment directory.
-
-7. Replace the database name placeholder with the database name you created earlier. For example, _EMIEDatabase_.
-
-8. Run the query.
-
-## Step 4 - Map your Application Pool to a SQL Server role
-Map your ApplicationPoolIdentity to your database, adding the db_owner role.
-
-**To map your ApplicationPoolIdentity to a SQL Server role**
-1. Start SQL Server Management Studio and connect to your database.
-
-2. Expand the database instance and then open the server-level **Security** folder.
-
- > [!IMPORTANT]
- > Make sure you open the **Security** folder at the server level and not for the database.
-
-3. Right-click **Logins**, and then click **New Login**.
-
- The **Login-New** dialog box appears.
-
-4. Type the following into the **Login name** box, based on your server instance type:
-
- - **Local SQL Server instance.** If you have a local SQL Server instance, where IIS and SQL Server are on the same server, type the name of your Application Pool. For example, _IIS AppPool\EMIEWebAppPool_.
-
- - **Remote SQL Server instance.** If you have a remote SQL Server instance, where IIS and SQL Server are on different servers, type `Domain\ServerName$`.
-
- > [!IMPORTANT]
- > Don't click **Search** in the **Login name** box. Login name searches will resolve to a ServerName\AppPool Name account and SQL Server Management Studio won't be able to resolve the account's virtual Security ID (SID).
-
-5. Click **User Mapping** from the **Select a page** pane, click the checkbox for your database (for example, _EMIEDatabase_) from the **Users mapped to this login** pane, and then click **db_owner** from the list of available roles in the **Database role membership** pane.
-
-6. Click **OK**.
-
-## Step 5 - Restart the Application Pool and website
-Using the IIS Manager, you must restart both your Application Pool and your website.
-
-**To restart your Application Pool and website**
-1. In IIS Manager, expand your local computer in the **Connections** pane, select your website, then click **Restart** from the **Manage Website** pane.
-
-2. In the **Connections** pane, select your Application Pool, and then click **Recycle** from the **Application Pool Tasks** pane.
-
-## Step 6 - Registering as an administrator
-After you've created your database and website, you'll need to register yourself (or another employee) as an administrator for the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal.
-
-**To register as an administrator**
-1. Open Microsoft Edge and type your website URL into the Address bar. For example, https://emieportal:8085.
-
-2. Click **Register now**.
-
-3. Type your name or alias into the **Email** box, making sure it matches the info in the drop-down box.
-
-4. Click **Administrator** from the **Role** box, and then click **Save**.
-
-5. Append your website URL with `/#/EMIEAdminConsole` in the Address bar to go to your administrator console. For example, https://emieportal:8085/#/EMIEAdminConsole.
-
- A dialog box appears, prompting you for the system user name and password. The default user name is EMIEAdmin and the default password is Admin123. We strongly recommend that you change the password by using the **Change password** link as soon as you're done with your first visit.
-
-6. Select your name from the available list, and then click **Activate**.
-
-7. Go to the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal Home page and sign in.
-
-## Step 7 - Configure the SMTP server and port for email notification
-After you've set up the portal, you need to configure your SMTP server and port for email notifications from the system.
-
-**To set up your SMTP server and port for emails**
-1. Open Visual Studio, and then open the web.config file from your deployment directory.
-
-2. Update the SMTP server and port info with your info, using this format:
-
- ```
-
-Enterprise Mode will no longer look for the site list, effectively turning off Enterprise Mode. However, if you previously turned on local control for your employees, Enterprise Mode will still be available from the **Tools** menu. You need to turn that part of the functionality off separately.
-
- **To turn off local control using Group Policy**
-
-1. Open your Group Policy editor, like Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
-
-2. Go to the **Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu** setting, and then click **Disable**.
-
-3. Enterprise Mode no longer shows up on the **Tools** menu for your employees. However, if you are still using an Enterprise Mode site list, all of the globally listed sites will still appear in Enterprise Mode. If you want to turn off all of Enterprise Mode, you will need to also turn off the site list functionality.
-
- **To turn off the site list using the registry**
-
-1. Open a registry editor, such as regedit.exe.
-
-2. Go to `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode`, and then delete the **SiteList** value.
-You can also use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, depending whether you want to turn off the Enterprise Mode site list for users or for computers.
-
-3. Close all and restart all instances of Internet Explorer.
-IE11 stops looking at the site list for rendering instructions. However, Enterprise Mode is still available to your users locally (if it was turned on).
-
- **To turn off local control using the registry**
-
-1. Open a registry editor, such as regedit.exe.
-
-2. Go `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode`, and then delete the **Enable** value.
-You can also use HKEY_CURRENT_USER, depending whether you want to turn off Enterprise Mode for users or for computers.
-
-3. Close and restart all instances of IE.
-Enterprise Mode is no longer a user option on the **Tools** menu in IE11. However, IE11 still looks at the site list (if it was turned on).

-Before you can use a site list with Enterprise Mode, you must turn the functionality on and set up the system for centralized control. By allowing
-centralized control, you can create one global list of websites that render using Enterprise Mode. Approximately 65 seconds after Internet Explorer 11 starts, it looks for a properly formatted site list. If a new site list if found, with a different version number than the active list, IE11 loads and uses the newer version. After the initial check, IE11 won’t look for an updated list again until you restart the browser.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> We recommend that you store and download your website list from a secure web server (https://), to help protect against data tampering. After the list is downloaded, it's stored locally on your employees' computers so if the centralized file location is unavailable, they can still use Enterprise Mode.
-
-**Group Policy**
-
-1. Open your Group Policy editor and go to the **Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Microsoft Edge\\Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List** setting. Turning this setting on also requires you to create and store a site list.
-
-
-
-2. Click **Enabled**, and then in the **Options** area, type the location to your site list.
-
-3. Refresh your policy and then view the affected sites in Microsoft Edge. The site shows a message in Microsoft Edge, saying that the page needs IE. At the same time, the page opens in IE11; in a new frame if it's not yet running, or in a new tab if it is.
-
-**Registry**
-
-All of your managed devices must have access to this location if you want them to be able to access and use Enterprise Mode and your site list.
-
-1. **To turn on Enterprise Mode for all users on the PC:** Open the registry editor and go to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main\EnterpriseMode`.
-
-2. Edit the `SiteList` registry key to point to where you want to keep your Enterprise Mode site list file. For example:
-
-
- - **HTTPS location:** `"SiteList"="https://localhost:8080/sites.xml"`
-
- - **Local network:** `"SiteList"="\\network\shares\sites.xml"`
-
- - **Local file:** `"SiteList"="file:///c:\\Users\\ The site shows a message in Microsoft Edge, saying that the page needs IE.
- At the same time, the page opens in IE11; in a new frame if it is not yet
- running, or in a new tab if it is.

-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-Enterprise Mode gives you a way for your legacy websites and apps to run using emulated versions of Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8, while your new sites and apps run using Internet Explorer 11, including modern standards and features.
-
-Although it’s called IE7 Enterprise Mode, it actually turns on Enterprise Mode along with Internet Explorer 7 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 Compatibility View. Compatibility View chooses which document mode to use based on whether there’s a `DOCTYPE` tag in your code:
-
-- **DOCTYPE tag found.** Webpages render using the Internet Explorer 7 document mode.
-- **No DOCTYPE tag found.** Webpages render using the Internet Explorer 5 document mode.
-
-**Important** For example, `C:\users\ **Important** **Important** **Important** **Important**
-Each site is validated and if successful, added to the global site list when you click **OK** to close the menu. If a site doesn’t pass validation, you can try to fix the issues or pick the site and click **Add to list** to ignore the validation problem. For more information about fixing validation problems, see [Fix validation problems using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](fix-compat-issues-with-doc-modes-and-enterprise-mode-site-list.md).
-
-3. Click **OK** to close the **Bulk add sites to the list** menu.
-
-4. On the **File** menu, click **Save to XML**, and save your file.
-You can save the file locally or to a network share. However, you must make sure you deploy it to the location specified in your registry key. For more information about the registry key, see [Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list](turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list.md).
-
-## Next steps
-After you’ve added all of your sites to the tool and saved the file to XML, you can configure the rest of the Enterprise Mode functionality to use it. You can also turn Enterprise Mode on locally, so your users have the option to use Enterprise Mode on individual websites from the **Tools** menu. For more information, see [Turn on local control and logging for Enterprise Mode](turn-on-local-control-and-logging-for-enterprise-mode.md).

-Enterprise Mode is a compatibility mode that runs on Internet Explorer 11, letting websites render using a modified browser configuration that’s designed to emulate either Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8, avoiding the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of Internet Explorer. **Important** Note Note
-Don't include the `https://` or `https://` designation. The tool automatically tries both versions during validation.
-
-3. Type any comments about the website into the **Notes about URL** box.
-Administrators can only see comments while they’re in this tool.
-
-4. Choose **IE7 Enterprise Mode**, **IE8 Enterprise Mode**, or the appropriate document mode for sites that must be rendered using the emulation of a previous version of IE, or pick **Default IE** if the site should use the latest version of IE.
-
-The path within a domain can require a different compatibility mode from the domain itself. For example, the domain might look fine in the default IE11 browser, but the path might have problems and require the use of Enterprise Mode. If you added the domain previously, your original compatibility choice is still selected. However, if the domain is new, **IE8 Enterprise Mode** is automatically selected.
-
-Enterprise Mode takes precedence over document modes, so sites that are already included in the Enterprise Mode site list won’t be affected by this update and will continue to load in Enterprise Mode, as usual. For more specific info about using document modes, see [Fix web compatibility issues using document modes and the Enterprise Mode site list](fix-compat-issues-with-doc-modes-and-enterprise-mode-site-list.md).
-
-5. Click **Save** to validate your website and to add it to the site list for your enterprise.
- If your site passes validation, it’s added to the global compatibility list. If the site doesn’t pass validation, you’ll get an error message explaining the problem. You’ll then be able to either cancel the site or ignore the validation problem and add it to your list anyway.
-
-6. On the **File** menu, go to where you want to save the file, and then click **Save to XML**.
- You can save the file locally or to a network share. However, you must make sure you deploy it to the location specified in your registry key.

-3. Type any comments about the website into the **Notes about URL** box.
- Administrators can only see comments while they’re in this tool.
-
-4. In the **Compat Mode** box, choose one of the following:
-
- - **IE8Enterprise**. Loads the site in IE8 Enterprise Mode.
-
- - **IE7Enterprise**. Loads the site in IE7 Enterprise Mode.
-
- - **IE\[*x*\]**. Where \[x\] is the document mode number and the site loads in the specified document mode.
-
- - **Default Mode**. Loads the site using the default compatibility mode for the page.
-
- The path within a domain can require a different compatibility mode from the domain itself. For example, the domain might look fine in the default IE11 browser, but the path might have problems and require the use of Enterprise Mode.

-5. In conjunction with the compatibility mode, you'll need to use the **Open in** box to pick which browser opens the site.
-
- - **IE11**. Opens the site in IE11, regardless of which browser is opened by the employee. If you have enabled [Internet Explorer mode integration on Microsoft Edge](/deployedge/edge-ie-mode), this option will open sites in Internet Explorer mode.
-
- - **MSEdge**. Opens the site in Microsoft Edge, regardless of which browser is opened by the employee.
-
- - **None**. Opens in whatever browser the employee chooses.
-
-6. If you have enabled [Internet Explorer mode integration on Microsoft Edge](/deployedge/edge-ie-mode), and you have sites that still need to opened in the standalone Internet Explorer 11 application, you can check the box for **Standalone IE**. This checkbox is only relevant when associated to 'Open in' IE11. Checking the box when 'Open In' is set to MSEdge or None will not change browser behavior.
-
-7. The checkbox **Allow Redirect** applies to the treatment of server side redirects. If you check this box, server side redirects will open in the browser specified by the open-in tag. For more information, see [here](./enterprise-mode-schema-version-2-guidance.md#updated-schema-attributes).
-
-8. Click **Save** to validate your website and to add it to the site list for your enterprise.
- If your site passes validation, it’s added to the global compatibility list. If the site doesn’t pass validation, you’ll get an error message explaining the problem. You’ll then be able to either cancel the site or ignore the validation problem and add it to your list anyway.
-
-9. On the **File** menu, go to where you want to save the file, and then click **Save to XML**.
- You can save the file locally or to a network share. However, you must make sure you deploy it to the location specified in your registry key.

-# Administrative templates and Internet Explorer 11
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-
-Administrative Templates are made up of a hierarchy of policy categories and subcategories that define how your policy settings appear in the Local Group Policy Editor, including:
-
-- What registry locations correspond to each setting.
-
-- What value options or restrictions are associated with each setting.
-
-- The default value for many settings.
-
-- Text explanations about each setting and the supported version of Internet Explorer.
-
-For a conceptual overview of Administrative Templates, see [Managing Group Policy ADMX Files Step-by-Step Guide](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-vista/cc709647(v=ws.10)).
-
-## What are Administrative Templates?
-Administrative Templates are XML-based, multi-language files that define the registry-based Group Policy settings in the Local Group Policy Editor. There are two types of Administrative Templates:
-
-- **ADMX.** A language-neutral setup file that states the number and type of policy setting, and the location by category, as it shows up in the Local Group Policy Editor.
-
-- **ADML.** A language-specific setup file that provides language-related information to the ADMX file. This file lets the policy setting show up in the right language in the Local Group Policy Editor. You can add new languages by adding new ADML files in the required language.
-
-## How do I store Administrative Templates?
-As an admin, you can create a central store folder on your SYSVOL directory, named **PolicyDefinitions**. For example, %*SystemRoot*%\\PolicyDefinitions. This folder provides a single, centralized storage location for your Administrative Templates (both ADMX and ADML) files, so they can be used by your domain-based Group Policy Objects (GPOs).
- Important Note **Note** **Note** **Important** **Important** Important **Important** **Note** **Note** **-OR-** Create a canonical name (CNAME) alias record named, **WPAD**. This record has the resolved name (not the IP address) of the server storing your automatic configuration (.pac) file. **Note** **Note** **Important** **Note** **Note** 250 bytes (per site visit) X 20 sites/day X 30 days = (approximately) 150KB X 1000 users = (approximately) 150MB

-### Collect your hardware inventory using the MOF Editor while connected to a client device
-You can collect your hardware inventory using the MOF Editor, while you’re connected to your client devices.
-
- **To collect your inventory**
-
-1. From the Configuration Manager, click **Administration**, click **Client Settings**, double-click **Default Client Settings**, click **Hardware Inventory**, and then click **Set Classes**.
-
- 
-
-2. Click **Add**, click **Connect**, and connect to a computer that has completed the setup process and has already existing classes.
-
-3. Change the **WMI Namespace** to `root\cimv2\IETelemetry`, and click **Connect**.
-
- 
-
-4. Select the check boxes next to the following classes, and then click **OK**:
-
- - IESystemInfo
-
- - IEURLInfo
-
- - IECountInfo
-
-5. Click **OK** to close the default windows.
-**Important** **Note** **or** Where `https://fabrikam.com` doesn't use IE8 Enterprise Mode, but `https://fabrikam.com/products` does.|Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge|
-|docMode|Specifies the document mode to apply. This attribute is only supported on <domain> or <path>elements in the <docMode> section. Where `https://fabrikam.com` opens in the IE11 browser, but `https://fabrikam.com/products` loads in the current browser (eg. Microsoft Edge)|Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge|
-|forceCompatView|Specifies that the page should load in IE7 document mode (Compat View). This attribute is only supported on <domain> or <path> elements in the <emie> section. If the page is also configured to load in Enterprise Mode, it will load in IE7 Enterprise Mode. Otherwise (exclude="true"), it will load in IE11's IE7 document mode. If this attribute is absent, it defaults to false. Where `https://fabrikam.com` does not use Enterprise Mode, but `https://fabrikam.com/products` uses IE7 Enterprise Mode.|Internet Explorer 11|
-
-### Using Enterprise Mode and document mode together
-If you want to use both Enterprise Mode and document mode together, you need to be aware that <emie> entries override <docMode> entries for the same domain.
-
-For example, say you want all of the sites in the contoso.com domain to open using IE8 Enterprise Mode, except test.contoso.com, which needs to open in document mode 11. Because Enterprise Mode takes precedence over document mode, if you want test.contoso.com to open using document mode, you'll need to explicitly add it as an exclusion to the <emie> parent node.

-
-2. Expand *ComputerName*, and then click **Options**.
-
-3. Click **Automatic Approvals**.
-
-4. Click the rule that automatically approves updates of different classifications, and then click **Edit**.
-
-5. Click the **Update Rollups** property under the **Step 2: Edit the properties (click an underlined value)** section.
-
-6. Check the **Update Rollups** check box, and then click **OK**.
-
-7. Click **OK** to close the **Automatic Approvals** dialog box.

-If you need to replace your entire site list because of errors, or simply because it’s out of date, you can import your exported Enterprise Mode site list using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager.
-
-**Important**
-Importing your file overwrites everything that’s currently in the tool, so make sure it’s what you really mean to do.
-
- **To import your compatibility list**
-
-1. On the **File** menu of the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, click **Import**.
-
-2. Go to your exported .EMIE file (for example, `C:\users\ This means that while IE11 will continue to support document modes, Microsoft Edge won’t. And because of that, it also means that if you want to use Microsoft Edge, you’re going to have to update your legacy webpages and apps to support modern features, browsers, and devices. Note Because of this change, your IEM-configured settings will no longer work on computers running Internet Explorer 10 or newer. To fix this, you need to update the affected settings using Group Policy preferences, Administrative Templates (.admx), or the IEAK 11. Because Group Policy Preferences and IEAK 11 run using asynchronous processes, you should choose to use only one of the tools within each group of settings. For example, using only IEAK 11 in the Security settings or Group Policy Preferences within the Internet Zone settings. Also, it's important to remember that policy is enforced and can't be changed by the user, while preferences are configured, but can be changed by the user. |
-|[Missing the Compatibility View Button](missing-the-compatibility-view-button.md) |Compatibility View was introduced in Internet Explorer 8 to help existing content continue to work with Windows Internet Explorer 7, while developers updated their content to support modern interoperable web standards. Since then, the IE web platform, and the web itself, have changed so that most public web content looks for standards-based features instead of IE 7-compatible behavior. Thanks to these changes, using IE11 in the latest standards mode is more compatible with the web than ever before. As a result, IE11 simplifies web page compatibility for users by removing the Compatibility View button and reducing the number of compatibility options in the F12 developer tools for developers. |

-
-
-You can install Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and your Windows images.
-
-You'll need to extract the .cab file for each supported operating system and platform combination and the .msu file for each prerequisite update. Download the IE11 update and prerequisites here:
-
-- [Microsoft Download Center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=279697)
-
-- [Microsoft Update Catalog](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=214287)
-
-After you install the .msu file updates, you'll need to add them to your MDT deployment. You'll also need to extract the IE11 .cab update file from the IE11 installation package, using the `/x` command-line option. For example, `IE11-Windows6.1-x64-en-us.exe /x:c:\ie11cab`.
-
-## Installing IE11 using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)
-
-MDT adds IE11 to your Windows images, regardless whether you are creating or deploying a customized or non-customized image. MDT also lets you perform offline servicing during the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager task sequence, letting you add IE11 before starting Windows. For info, see [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)](/mem/configmgr/mdt/).
-
- **To add IE11 to a MDT deployment share**
-
-1. Right-click **Packages** from each **Deployment Shares** location, and then click **Import OS Packages**.
-
-2. Go to the **Specify Directory** page, search for your folder with your update files (.cab and .msu) for import, and click **Next**.
-
-3. Go to the **Summary** page and click **Next**.
-MDT starts importing your update files. **Note**
- The wizard automatically puts your custom installation files in your `\ **Important**
- Where `
-If you get an error during the Windows Update process, see [Fix the problem with Microsoft Windows Update that is not working](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=302316).
-
-4. Restart your computer, making sure all of your the updates are finished.
-
-5. Try to reinstall IE11 from either Windows Update (if you saw it in Step 3) or from the [Download Internet Explorer 11](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=327753) website.

-# Fix intranet search problems with Internet Explorer 11
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-After upgrading to Internet Explorer 11, you might experience search issues while using your intranet site.
-
-## Why is my intranet redirecting me to search results?
-IE11 works differently with search, based on whether your organization is domain-joined.
-
-- **Domain-joined computers.** A single word entry is treated as a search term. However, IE11 also checks for available intranet sites and offers matches through the **Notification bar**. If you select **Yes** from the **Notification bar** to navigate to the intranet site, IE11 associates that word with the site so that the next time you type in the intranet site name, inline auto-complete will resolve to the intranet site address.
-
-- **Non-domain-joined computers.** A single word entry is treated as an intranet site. However, if the term doesn't resolve to a site, IE11 then treats the entry as a search term and opens your default search provider.
-
-To explicitly go to an intranet site, regardless of the environment, users can type either a trailing slash like `contoso/` or the `https://` prefix. Either of these will cause IE11 to treat the entry as an intranet search. You can also change the default behavior so that IE11 treats your single word entry in the address bar as an intranet site, regardless of your environment.
-
- **To enable single-word intranet search**
-
-1. Open Internet Explorer for the desktop, click the **Tools** menu, and then click **Internet Options**.
-
-2. Click **Advanced**, check the **Go to an intranet site for a single word entry in the Address bar** box, and then click **OK**.
-
-If you'd like your entire organization to have single word entries default to an intranet site, you can turn on the **Go to an intranet site for a single word entry in the Address bar** Group Policy. With this policy turned on, a search for `contoso` automatically resolves to `https://contoso`.

-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-
-**Applies to:**

-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-The Internet Explorer Maintenance (IEM) settings have been deprecated in favor of Group Policy Preferences, Administrative Templates (.admx), and the IE Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11).
-
-Because of this change, your IEM-configured settings will no longer work on computers running Internet Explorer 10 or newer. To fix this, you need to update the affected settings using Group Policy Preferences, Administrative Templates (.admx), or IE Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11).
-
-Because Group Policy Preferences and IEAK 11 run using asynchronous processes, you should choose to use only one of the tools within each group of settings. For example, using only IEAK 11 in the **Security** settings or Group Policy Preferences within the **Internet Zone** settings. Also, it's important to remember that policy is enforced and can't be changed by the user, while preferences are configured, but can be changed by the user.
-

-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-Compatibility View was introduced in Windows Internet Explorer 8 to help existing content continue to work with Windows Internet Explorer 7, while developers updated their content to support modern interoperable web standards. Since then, the Internet Explorer web platform, and the web itself, have changed so that most public web content looks for standards-based features instead of IE 7-compatible behavior.
-
-Thanks to these changes, using Internet Explorer 11 in the latest standards mode is more compatible with the web than ever before. As a result, IE11 simplifies web page compatibility for users by removing the **Compatibility View** button and reducing the number of compatibility options in the F12 developer tools for developers.
-
-## What happened to the Compatibility View button?
-In previous versions of IE, the **Compatibility View** button would attempt to fix a broken standards-based website, by getting the page to appear like it did in Internet Explorer 7. Today however, more standards-based websites are broken by attempting to appear like they did in Internet Explorer 7. So instead of implementing and using Compatibility View, developers are updating their server configuration to add X-UA-Compatible meta tags, which forces the content to the “edge”, making the **Compatibility View** button disappear. In support of these changes, the Compatibility View button has been completely removed for IE11.
-
-## What if I still need Compatibility View?
-There might be extenuating circumstances in your company, which require you to continue to use Compatibility View. In this situation, this process should be viewed strictly as a workaround. You should work with the website vendor to make sure that the affected pages are updated to match the latest web standards. The functionality described here is currently deprecated and will be removed at a time in the future.
-
-**Important**
-Compatibility View is turned on for this single website, for this specific computer.
-
-3. Decide if you want your intranet sites displayed using Compatibility View, decide whether to use Microsoft compatibility lists, and then click **Close**.

-
-
-## Summary
-
-If you’re having problems launching your legacy apps while running Internet Explorer 11, it’s most likely because Internet Explorer no longer starts apps that use managed browser hosting controls, like in .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0.
-
- **To turn managed browser hosting controls back on**
-
-1. **For x86 systems or for 64-bit processes on x64 systems:** Go to the `HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\.NETFramework` registry key and change the **EnableIEHosting** value to **1**.
-
-2. **For 32-bit processes on x64 systems:** Go to the `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MICROSOFT\.NETFramework` registry key and change the **EnableIEHosting** value to **1**.
-
-## More information
-
-IEHost is a Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1-based technology that provides a better model than ActiveX controls to host controls within the browser. The IEHost controls are lightweight and are operated under the .NET security model where they are operated inside a sandbox.
-
-From the .NET Framework 4, we remove the IEHost.dll file for the following reasons:
-
-- IEHost/HREF-EXE-style controls are exposed to the Internet. This poses a high security risk, and most customers who install the Framework are benefiting very little from this security risk.
-- Managed hosting controls and invoking random ActiveX controls may be unsafe, and this risk cannot be countered in the .NET Framework. Therefore, the ability to host is disabled. We strongly suggest that IEHost should be disabled in any production environment.
-- Potential security vulnerabilities and assembly versioning conflicts in the default application domain. By relying on COM Interop wrappers to load your assembly, it is implicitly loaded in the default application domain. If other browser extensions do the same function, they have the risks in the default application domain such as disclosing information, and so on. If you are not using strong-named assemblies as dependencies, type loading exceptions can occur. You cannot freely configure the common language runtime (CLR), because you do not own the host process, and you cannot run any code before your extension is loaded.
-
-For more information about .NET Framework application compatibility, see [Application compatibility in the .NET Framework](/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/application-compatibility).

-| Always send Do Not Track header | Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel\Advanced Page | At least Internet Explorer 10 | This policy setting allows you to configure how IE sends the Do Not Track (DNT) header. If you enable this policy setting, IE sends a `DNT:1` header with all HTTP and HTTPS requests. The `DNT:1` header signals to the servers not to track the user. **In Internet Explorer 9 and 10:** **In at least IE11:** If you don't configure the policy setting, users can select the **Always send Do Not Track header** option on the **Advanced\* tab of the \*\*Internet Options** dialog box. By selecting this option, IE sends a `DNT:1` header with all HTTP and HTTPS requests; unless the user grants a site-specific exception, in which case IE sends a `DNT:0` header. By default, this option is enabled. |
-| Don't run antimalware programs against ActiveX controls If you enable this policy setting, IE won't check with your antimalware program to see if it's safe to create an instance of the ActiveX control. If you disable this policy setting, IE always checks with your antimalware program to see if it's safe to create an instance of the ActiveX control. If you don't configure this policy setting, IE always checks with your antimalware program to see if it's safe to create an instance of the ActiveX control. Users can turn this behavior on or off, using the Internet Explorer's **Security** settings. |

Users can turn this behavior on or off, using Internet Explorer's **Security** settings. |
-| Hide Internet Explorer 11 Application Retirement Notification | Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer | Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10 20H2 & newer | This policy setting allows you to prevent the notification bar that informs users of Internet Explorer 11’s retirement from showing up. If you enable this policy setting, the button to open Microsoft Edge from Internet Explorer will be hidden. If you disable this policy setting, the button to open Microsoft Edge from Internet Explorer appears. If you don't configure this policy setting, the button to open Microsoft Edge from Internet Explorer can be configured by your employees. |
-| Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the **Tools** menu | Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer | IE11 on Windows 10 | This policy setting lets you decide whether users can turn on Enterprise Mode for websites with compatibility issues. Optionally, this policy also lets you specify where to get reports (through post messages) about the websites for which users turn on Enterprise Mode using the **Tools** menu. If you enable this policy setting, users can see and use the **Enterprise Mode** option from the **Tools** menu. If you enable this setting, but don’t specify a report location, Enterprise Mode will still be available to your users, but you won’t get any reports. If you disable or don’t configure this policy setting, the menu option won’t appear and users won’t be able to turn on Enterprise Mode locally. |
-| Limit Site Discovery output by Domain | Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer | At least Internet Explorer 8 | This policy setting allows you to control which domains are included in the discovery function of the Internet Explorer Site Discovery Toolkit. If you enable this policy setting, the Internet Explorer Site Discovery Toolkit collects data from all sites in your specified domains, configured by adding one domain per line to the included text box. If you disable or don’t configure this setting, the Internet Explorer Site Discovery Toolkit collects data from all sites in all domains. **Note:** If you enable this policy setting, the Internet Explorer Site Discovery Toolkit collects data from all specified security zones. If you disable or don’t configure this setting, the Internet Explorer Site Discovery Toolkit collects data from all sites in all security zones. To specify which zones can collect data, you must include a binary number that represents your selected zones, based on this order: **Note:** **In IE11:** If you enable this policy setting, ActiveX Filtering, Tracking Protection and Do Not Track data is preserved when the user clicks **Delete**. If you disable this policy setting, ActiveX Filtering, Tracking Protection and Do Not Track data is deleted when the user clicks **Delete**. If you don’t configure this policy setting, users can turn this feature on and off, determining whether to delete ActiveX Filtering, Tracking Protection, and Do Not Track data when clicking **Delete**. |
-| Send all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List to Microsoft Edge | Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer | IE11 on Windows 10, version 1607 | This policy setting lets you decide whether to open all sites that aren’t specified to open in IE11 by the Enterprise Mode site list, to open in Microsoft Edge. If you enable this policy setting, you must also enable the Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list policy setting and you must include at least one site in the Enterprise Mode site list. If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, all sites will open based on the currently active browser. **Note:** If you enable this policy setting, employees see an additional page in Internet Explorer 11, stating that a site has been opened using Microsoft Edge with Enterprise Mode. If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, the default app behavior occurs and no additional page appears. |
-| Turn off automatic download of the ActiveX VersionList | Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Security Features\Add-on Management | At least Windows Internet Explorer 8 | This policy setting allows you to decide whether Internet Explorer automatically downloads updated versions of Microsoft's VersionList.XML file. This file tells Internet Explorer whether to stop specific ActiveX controls from loading. If you enable this policy setting, Internet Explorer stops automatically downloading updated versions of the VersionList.XML file. If you disable or don’t configure this setting, Internet Explorer continues to download updated versions of the VersionList.XML file. **Important:** If you enable this policy setting, IE doesn't load any websites or content in the background. If you disable this policy setting, IE preemptively loads websites and content in the background. If you don’t configure this policy setting, users can turn this behavior on or off, using IE settings. This feature is turned on by default. |
-| Turn off phone number detection | Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Settings\Advanced settings\Browsing | IE11 on Windows 10 | This policy setting determines whether phone numbers are recognized and turned into hyperlinks, which can be used to invoke the default phone application on the system. If you enable this policy setting, phone number detection is turned off. Users won’t be able to modify this setting. If you disable this policy setting, phone number detection is turned on. Users won’t be able to modify this setting. If you don't configure this policy setting, users can turn this behavior on or off, using IE settings. The default is on. |
-| Turn off sending URL path as UTF-8 | User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Settings\URL Encoding | At least Windows Internet Explorer 7 | This policy setting determines whether to let IE send the path portion of a URL using the UTF-8 standard. This standard defines characters so they're readable in any language and lets you exchange Internet addresses (URLs) with characters included in any language. If you enable this policy setting, UTF-8 is not allowed. Users won't be able to change this setting. If you disable this policy setting, UTF-8 is allowed. Users won't be able to change this setting. If you don't configure this policy setting, users can turn this behavior on or off. |
-| Turn off sending UTF-8 query strings for URLs | Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel\Advanced Page | IE11 on Windows 10 | This policy setting determines whether IE uses 8-bit Unicode Transformation Format (UTF-8) to encode query strings in URLs before sending them to servers or to proxy servers. If you enable this policy setting, you must specify when to use UTF-8 to encode query strings: If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, users can turn this behavior on or off, using IE Advanced Options settings. The default is to encode all query strings in UTF-8. |
-| Turn off the ability to launch report site problems using a menu option | Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Browser menus | Internet Explorer 11 | This policy setting allows you to manage whether users can start the **eport Site Problems** dialog box from the **Internet Explorer** settings area or from the **Tools** menu. If you enable this policy setting, users won’t be able to start the **Report Site Problems** dialog box from the Internet Explorer settings or the Tools menu. If you disable or don’t configure this policy setting, users will be able to start the **Report Site Problems** dialog box from the **Internet Explorer** settings area or from the **Tools** menu. |
-| Turn off the flip ahead with page prediction feature | Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel\Advanced Page | At least Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8 | This policy setting determines whether a user can swipe across a screen or click Forward to go to the next pre-loaded page of a website. If you enable this policy setting, flip ahead with page prediction is turned off and the next webpage isn’t loaded into the background. If you disable this policy setting, flip ahead with page prediction is turned on and the next webpage is loaded into the background. If you don’t configure this setting, users can turn this behavior on or off, using the **Settings** charm. **Note** If you enable this policy setting, IE11 will use 64-bit tab processes when running in Enhanced Protected Mode on 64-bit versions of Windows. If you disable this policy setting, IE11 will use 32-bit tab processes when running in Enhanced Protected Mode on 64-bit versions of Windows. If you don't configure this policy setting, users can turn this feature on or off using IE settings. This feature is turned off by default. **Important** If you enable this policy setting, the Internet Explorer Site Discovery Toolkit will log its collected data to an WMI class, which can be aggregated by using a client-management solution, such as Microsoft Configuration Manager. If you disable or don’t configure this setting, the Internet Explorer Site Discovery Toolkit won’t log its collected data to an WMI class. **Note:** If you enable this policy setting, the Internet Explorer Site Discovery Toolkit will log its collected data to an XML file, stored in your specified location. If you disable or don’t configure this setting, the Internet Explorer Site Discovery Toolkit won’t log its collected data to an XML file. **Note:** If you enable this policy setting, Internet Explorer downloads the Enterprise Mode website list from the `HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE`\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode hive, opening all included websites using Enterprise Mode. We recommend storing and downloading your list from a secure web server `(https://)`, to help protect against data tampering. If you disable or don’t configure this policy setting, Internet Explorer opens all websites using **Standard** mode. |

-# Out-of-date ActiveX control blocking
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-- Windows Vista SP2
-
-ActiveX controls are small apps that let websites provide content, like videos, games, and let you interact with content like toolbars. Unfortunately, because many ActiveX controls aren’t automatically updated, they can become outdated as new versions are released. It’s very important that you keep your ActiveX controls up-to-date because malicious software (or malware) can target security flaws in outdated controls, damaging your computer by collecting info from it, installing unwanted software, or by letting someone else control it remotely. To help avoid this situation, Internet Explorer includes a new security feature, called *out-of-date ActiveX control blocking*.
-
-Out-of-date ActiveX control blocking lets you:
-
-- Know when IE prevents a webpage from loading common, but outdated ActiveX controls.
-
-- Interact with other parts of the webpage that aren’t affected by the outdated control.
-
-- Update the outdated control, so that it’s up-to-date and safer to use.
-
-The out-of-date ActiveX control blocking feature works with all [Security Zones](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=403863), except the Local Intranet Zone and the Trusted Sites Zone.
-
-It also works with these operating system and IE combinations:
-
-|Windows operating system |IE version |
-|----------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
-|Windows 10 |All supported versions of IE.
-IE opens the ActiveX control’s website.
-
-2. Download the latest version of the control.
-
-**Security Note:**
-IE opens the app’s website.
-
-2. Download the latest version of the app.
-
-**Security Note:** If you enable this setting, IE logs ActiveX control information (including the source URI that loaded the control and whether it was blocked) to a local file. If you disable or don't configure this setting, IE won't log ActiveX control information. Note that you can turn this setting on or off regardless of the **Turn off blocking of outdated ActiveX controls for IE** or **Turn off blocking of outdated ActiveX controls for IE on specific domains** settings. |
-|Remove the **Run this time** button for outdated ActiveX controls in IE |`Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Security Features\Add-on Management`|Internet Explorer 8 through IE11 |This setting allows you stop users from seeing the **Run this time** button and from running specific outdated ActiveX controls in IE. If you enable this setting, users won't see the **Run this time** button on the warning message that appears when IE blocks an outdated ActiveX control. If you disable or don't configure this setting, users will see the **Run this time** button on the warning message that appears when IE blocks an outdated ActiveX control. Clicking this button lets the user run the outdated ActiveX control once. |
-|Turn off blocking of outdated ActiveX controls for IE on specific domains |`Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Security Features\Add-on Management` |Internet Explorer 8 through IE11 |This setting allows you to manage a list of domains on which IE will stop blocking outdated ActiveX controls. Outdated ActiveX controls are never blocked in the Intranet Zone. If you enable this setting, you can enter a custom list of domains for which outdated ActiveX controls won't be blocked in IE. Each domain entry must be formatted like one of the following: If you disable or don't configure this setting, the list is deleted and IE continues to block specific outdated ActiveX controls on all domains in the Internet Zone. |
-|Turn off blocking of outdated ActiveX controls for IE |`Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Security Features\Add-on Management` |Internet Explorer 8 through IE11 |This setting determines whether IE blocks specific outdated ActiveX controls. Outdated ActiveX controls are never blocked in the Intranet Zone. If you enable this setting, IE stops blocking outdated ActiveX controls. If you disable or don't configure this setting, IE continues to block specific outdated ActiveX controls. |
-|Remove the **Update** button in the out-of-date ActiveX control blocking notification for IE |This functionality is only available through the registry |Internet Explorer 8 through IE11 |This setting determines whether the out-of-date ActiveX control blocking notification shows the **Update** button. This button points users to update specific out-of-date ActiveX controls in IE. |
-
-
-If you don't want to use Group Policy, you can also turn these settings on or off using the registry. You can update the registry manually.
-
-|Setting |Registry setting |
-|-------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|
-|Turn on ActiveX control logging in IE |`reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Ext" /v AuditModeEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f` Where: Where: Where: Where: Where: **Note**
- If the browser doesn't crash, open Internet Explorer for the desktop, click the **Tools** menu, and click **Manage Add-ons**.
-
-3. Click **Toolbars and Extensions**, click each toolbar or extension, clicking **Disable** to turn off all of the browser extensions and toolbars.
-
-4. Restart IE11. Go back to the **Manage Add-Ons** window and turn on each item, one-by-one.
- After you turn each item back on, see if IE crashes or slows down. Doing it this way will help you identify the add-on that's causing IE to crash. After you've figured out which add-on was causing the problem, turn it off until you have an update from the manufacturer.
-
- **To check for Software Rendering mode**
-
-5. Open Internet Explorer for the desktop, click the **Tools** menu, and then click **Internet Options**.
-
-6. On the **Advanced** tab, go to the **Accelerated graphics** section, and then turn on Software Rendering mode by choosing the **Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering** box.
- If the **Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering** option is greyed out, it means that your current video card or video driver doesn't support GPU hardware acceleration. For more information, see [Windows 10 Support](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746588).
-
-## Adaptive streaming and DRM playback don’t work with Windows Server 2012 R2
-IE11 in Windows Server 2012 R2 doesn’t include media features like adaptive streaming or Digital Rights Management (DRM) playback. To add these features, you’ll need to download and install the Media Feature Pack from the [Microsoft Download Center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=320789), as well as an app that uses PlayReady DRM from the Microsoft Store, such as the Xbox Music app or Xbox Video app. The app must be installed to specifically turn on DRM features, while all other media features are installed with the Media Feature Pack.

-# Review neutral sites for Internet Explorer mode using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Microsoft Edge version 77 or later
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> This feature is available on the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager version 11.0.
-
-## Overview
-
-While converting your site from v.1 schema to v.2 schema using the latest version of the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, sites with the *doNotTransition=true* in v.1 convert to *open-in=None* in the v.2 schema, which is characterized as a "neutral site". This is the expected behavior for conversion unless you are using Internet Explorer mode (IE mode). When IE mode is enabled, only authentication servers that are used for modern and legacy sites should be set as neutral sites. For more information, see [Configure neutral sites](/deployedge/edge-ie-mode-sitelist#configure-neutral-sites). Otherwise, a site meant to open in Edge might potentially be tagged as neutral, which results in inconsistent experiences for users.
-
-The Enterprise Mode Site List Manager provides the ability to flag sites that are listed as neutral sites, but might have been added in error. This check is automatically performed when you are converting from v.1 to v.2 through the tool. This check might flag sites even if there was no prior schema conversion.
-
-## Flag neutral sites
-
-To identify neutral sites to review:
-
-1. In the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2), click **File > Flag neutral sites**.
-2. If selecting this option has no effect, there are no sites that needs to be reviewed. Otherwise, you will see a message **"Engine neutral sites flagged for review"**. When a site is flagged, you can assess if the site needs to be removed entirely, or if it needs the open-in attribute changed from None to MSEdge.
-3. If you believe that a flagged site is correctly configured, you can edit the site entry and click on **"Clear Flag"**. Once you select that option for a site, it will not be flagged again.

-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-Using Group Policy, you can turn on Enterprise Mode for Internet Explorer and then you can turn on local user control using the **Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu** setting, located in the `Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer` category path. After you turn this setting on, your users can turn on Enterprise Mode locally, from the IE **Tools** menu.
-
-
-
-The **Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu** setting also lets you decide where to send the user reports (as a URL). We recommend creating a custom HTTP port 81 to let your incoming user information go to a dedicated site. A dedicated site is important so you can quickly pick out the Enterprise Mode traffic from your other website traffic.
-
-
-
-Getting these reports lets you find out about sites that aren’t working right, so you can add them to your Enterprise Mode site list, without having to locate them all yourself. For more information about creating and using a site list, see the [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-2-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md) or the [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-1-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md) topic, based on your operating system.
-
-## Using ASP to collect your data
-When you turn logging on, you need a valid URL that points to a server that can be listened to for updates to a user’s registry key. This means you need to set up an endpoint server for the incoming POST messages, which are sent every time the user turns Enterprise Mode on or off from the **Tools** menu.
-
- **To set up an endpoint server**
-
-1. Configure an IIS server to work with your Enterprise Mode data collection process. If you’re unsure how to set up IIS, see the [IIS installation webpage](/iis/install/installing-iis-7/installing-necessary-iis-components-on-windows-vista).
-
-2. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) and turn on the ASP components from the **Add Roles and Features Wizard**, **Server Roles** page.
- This lets you create an ASP form that accepts the incoming POST messages.
-
-3. Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, click **Bindings**, highlight **Port 81**, click **Edit**, and then change the website information to point to Port 81 so it matches your custom-created port.
-
- 
-
-4. Open the **Logging** feature, pick **W3C** for the format, and click **Select Fields** to open the **W3C Logging Fields** box.
-
- 
-
-5. Change the WC3 logging fields to include only the **Date**, **Client IP**, **User Name**, and **URI Query** standard fields, and then click **OK**.
- Using only these fields keeps the log file simple, giving you the date, client IP address, and the website URI information for any site changed by your users.
-
-6. Apply these changes to your default website and close the IIS Manager.
-
-7. Put your EmIE.asp file into the root of the web server, using this command:
-
- ```
- <% @ LANGUAGE=javascript %>
- <%
- Response.AppendToLog(" ;" + Request.Form("URL") + " ;" + Request.Form("EnterpriseMode"));
- %>
- ```
- This code logs your POST fields to your IIS log file, where you can review all of the collected data.
-
-
-### IIS log file information
-This is what your log files will look like after you set everything up and at least one of your users has turned on Enterprise Mode locally from the **Tools** menu. You can see the URL of the problematic website and client IP address of the user that turned on Enterprise Mode.
-
-
-
-
-## Using the GitHub sample to collect your data
-Microsoft has created the [EMIE-Data-Collection_Sample](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=507401) that shows how to collect your Enterprise Mode reports. This sample only shows how to collect data, it doesn’t show how to aggregate the data into your Enterprise Mode site list.
-This sample starts with you turning on Enterprise Mode and logging (either through Group Policy, or by manually setting the EnterpriseMode registry key) so that your users can use Enterprise Mode locally. For the steps to do this, go to [Turn on local control and logging for Enterprise Mode](turn-on-local-control-and-logging-for-enterprise-mode.md).
-
-**Note**
- The required packages are automatically downloaded and included in the solution.
-
- **To set up your endpoint server**
-
-5. Right-click on the name, PhoneHomeSample, and click **Publish**.
-
- 
-
-6. In the **Publish Web** wizard, pick the publishing target and options that work for your organization.
-
- **Important**
-If you’re already on the webpage, you’ll need to refresh the page to see the results.
-
- 
-
-
-### Troubleshooting publishing errors
-If you have errors while you’re publishing your project, you should try to update your packages.
-
- **To update your packages**
-
-1. From the **Tools** menu of Microsoft Visual Studio, click **NuGet Package Manager**, and click **Manage NuGet Packages for Solution**.
-
- 
-
-2. Click **Updates** on the left side of the tool, and click the **Update All** button.
-You may need to do some additional package cleanup to remove older package versions.

-
-
-**Applies to:**

-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-The Enterprise Mode Site List Portal is an open-source web tool on GitHub that allows you to manage your Enterprise Mode Site List, hosted by the app, with multiple users. The portal is designed to use IIS and a SQL Server backend, leveraging Active Directory (AD) for employee management. Updates to your site list are made by submitting new change requests, which are then approved by a designated group of people, put into a pre-production environment for testing, and then deployed immediately, or scheduled for deployment later.
-
-Before you can begin using the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal, you must set up your environment.
-
-## Step 1 - Copy the deployment folder to the web server
-You must download the deployment folder (**EMIEWebPortal/**), which includes all of the source code for the website, from the [Enterprise Mode Site List Portal](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/enterprise-mode-site-list-portal) site to your web server.
-
-**To download the source code**
-1. Download the deployment folder from the [Enterprise Mode Site List Portal](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/enterprise-mode-site-list-portal) source code to your web server.
-
-2. Install the Node.js® package manager, [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/).
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > You need to install the npm package manager to replace all the third-party libraries we removed to make the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal open-source.
-
-3. Open File Explorer and then open the **EMIEWebPortal/** folder.
-
-4. Press and hold **Shift**, right-click the window, then click **Open PowerShell window here**.
-
-5. Type _npm i_ into the command prompt, then press **Enter**.
-
- Installs the npm package manager and bulk adds all the third-party libraries back into your codebase.
-
-6. Go back up a directory, open the solution file **EMIEWebPortal.sln** in Visual Studio, open **Web.config** from **EMIEWebPortal/** folder, and replace MSIT-LOB-COMPAT with your server name hosting your database, replace LOBMerged with your database name, and build the entire solution.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > Step 3 of this topic provides the steps to create your database.
-
-7. Copy the contents of the **EMIEWebPortal/** folder to a dedicated folder on your file system. For example, _D:\EMIEWebApp_. In a later step, you'll designate this folder as your website in the IIS Manager.
-
-## Step 2 - Create the Application Pool and website, by using IIS
-Create a new Application Pool and the website, by using the IIS Manager.
-
-**To create a new Application Pool**
-1. In IIS Manager, expand your local computer in the **Connections** pane, right-click **Application Pools**, then click **Add Application Pool**.
-
- The **Add Application Pool** box appears.
-
-2. In the **Add Application Pool** box, enter the following info:
-
- - **Name.** Type the name of your new application pool. For example, _EMIEWebAppPool_.
-
- - **.NET CLR version.** Pick the version of .NET CLR used by your application pool from the drop-down box. It must be version 4.0 or higher.
-
- - **Managed pipeline mode.** Pick **Integrated** from the drop-down box. IIS uses the integrated IIS and ASP.NET request-processing pipeline for managed content.
-
-3. Click **OK**.
-
-4. Select your new application pool from the **Application Pool** pane, click **Advanced Settings** from the **Edit Application Pool** area of the **Actions** pane.
-
- The **Advanced Settings** box appears.
-
-5. Make sure your **Identity** value is **ApplicationPoolIdentity**, click **OK**, and then close the box.
-
-6. Open File Explorer and go to your deployment directory, created in Step 1. For example, _D:\EMIEWebApp_.
-
-7. Right-click on the directory, click **Properties**, and then click the **Security** tab.
-
-8. Add your new application pool to the list (for example, _IIS AppPool\EMIEWebAppPool_) with **Full control access**, making sure the location searches the local computer.
-
-9. Add **Everyone** to the list with **Read & execute access**.
-
-**To create the website**
-1. In IIS Manager, expand your local computer in the **Connections** pane, right-click **Sites**, then click **Add Website**.
-
- The **Add Website** box appears.
-
-2. In the **Add Website** box, type the name of your website into the **Site name** box. For example, _EMIEWebApp_, and then click **Select**.
-
- The **Select Application Pool** box appears.
-
-4. Pick the name of the application pool created earlier in this step, and then click **OK**. For example, _EMIEWebAppPool_.
-
-5. In the **Physical path** box, browse to your folder that contains your deployment directory. For example, _D:\EMIEWebApp_.
-
-6. Set up your **Binding**, including your **Binding Type**, **IP address**, and **Port**, as appropriate for your organization.
-
-7. Clear the **Start Website immediately** check box, and then click **OK**.
-
-8. In IIS Manager, expand your local computer, and then double-click your new website. For example, _EMIEWebApp_.
-
- The **<website_name> Home** pane appears.
-
-9. Double-click the **Authentication** icon, right-click on **Windows Authentication**, and then click **Enable**.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > You must also make sure that **Anonymous Authentication** is marked as **Enabled**.
-
-## Step 3 - Create and prep your database
-Create a SQL Server database and run our custom query to create the Enterprise Mode Site List tables.
-
-**To create and prep your database**
-1. Start SQL Server Management Studio.
-
-2. Open **Object Explorer** and then connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine.
-
-3. Expand the instance, right-click on **Databases**, and then click **New Database**.
-
-4. Type a database name. For example, _EMIEDatabase_.
-
-5. Leave all default values for the database files, and then click **OK**.
-
-6. Open the **DatabaseScripts/Create DB Tables/1_CreateEMIETables.sql** query file, located in the deployment directory.
-
-7. Replace the database name placeholder with the database name you created earlier. For example, _EMIEDatabase_.
-
-8. Run the query.
-
-## Step 4 - Map your Application Pool to a SQL Server role
-Map your ApplicationPoolIdentity to your database, adding the db_owner role.
-
-**To map your ApplicationPoolIdentity to a SQL Server role**
-1. Start SQL Server Management Studio and connect to your database.
-
-2. Expand the database instance and then open the server-level **Security** folder.
-
- > [!IMPORTANT]
- > Make sure you open the **Security** folder at the server level and not for the database.
-
-3. Right-click **Logins**, and then click **New Login**.
-
- The **Login-New** dialog box appears.
-
-4. Type the following into the **Login name** box, based on your server instance type:
-
- - **Local SQL Server instance.** If you have a local SQL Server instance, where IIS and SQL Server are on the same server, type the name of your Application Pool. For example, _IIS AppPool\EMIEWebAppPool_.
-
- - **Remote SQL Server instance.** If you have a remote SQL Server instance, where IIS and SQL Server are on different servers, type `Domain\ServerName$`.
-
- > [!IMPORTANT]
- > Don't click **Search** in the **Login name** box. Login name searches will resolve to a ServerName\AppPool Name account and SQL Server Management Studio won't be able to resolve the account's virtual Security ID (SID).
-
-5. Click **User Mapping** from the **Select a page** pane, click the checkbox for your database (for example, _EMIEDatabase_) from the **Users mapped to this login** pane, and then click **db_owner** from the list of available roles in the **Database role membership** pane.
-
-6. Click **OK**.
-
-## Step 5 - Restart the Application Pool and website
-Using the IIS Manager, you must restart both your Application Pool and your website.
-
-**To restart your Application Pool and website**
-1. In IIS Manager, expand your local computer in the **Connections** pane, select your website, then click **Restart** from the **Manage Website** pane.
-
-2. In the **Connections** pane, select your Application Pool, and then click **Recycle** from the **Application Pool Tasks** pane.
-
-## Step 6 - Registering as an administrator
-After you've created your database and website, you'll need to register yourself (or another employee) as an administrator for the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal.
-
-**To register as an administrator**
-1. Open Microsoft Edge and type your website URL into the Address bar. For example, https://emieportal:8085.
-
-2. Click **Register now**.
-
-3. Type your name or alias into the **Email** box, making sure it matches the info in the drop-down box.
-
-4. Click **Administrator** from the **Role** box, and then click **Save**.
-
-5. Append your website URL with `/#/EMIEAdminConsole` in the Address bar to go to your administrator console. For example, https://emieportal:8085/#/EMIEAdminConsole.
-
- A dialog box appears, prompting you for the system user name and password. The default user name is EMIEAdmin and the default password is Admin123. We strongly recommend that you change the password by using the **Change password** link as soon as you're done with your first visit.
-
-6. Select your name from the available list, and then click **Activate**.
-
-7. Go to the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal Home page and sign in.
-
-## Step 7 - Configure the SMTP server and port for email notification
-After you've set up the portal, you need to configure your SMTP server and port for email notifications from the system.
-
-**To set up your SMTP server and port for emails**
-1. Open Visual Studio, and then open the web.config file from your deployment directory.
-
-2. Update the SMTP server and port info with your info, using this format:
-
- ```
-
- Enterprise Mode will no longer look for the site list, effectively turning off Enterprise Mode. However, if you previously turned on local control for your employees, Enterprise Mode will still be available from the **Tools** menu. You need to turn that part of the functionality off separately.
-
- **To turn off local control using Group Policy**
-
-3. Open your Group Policy editor, like Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
-
-4. Go to the **Let users turn on and use Enterprise Mode from the Tools menu** setting, and then click **Disable**.
-
-5. Enterprise Mode no longer shows up on the **Tools** menu for your employees. However, if you are still using an Enterprise Mode site list, all of the globally listed sites will still appear in Enterprise Mode. If you want to turn off all of Enterprise Mode, you will need to also turn off the site list functionality.
-
- **To turn off the site list using the registry**
-
-6. Open a registry editor, such as regedit.exe.
-
-7. Go to `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode`, and then delete the **SiteList** value.
- You can also use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, depending whether you want to turn off the Enterprise Mode site list for users or for computers.
-
-8. Close all and restart all instances of Internet Explorer.
- IE11 stops looking at the site list for rendering instructions. However, Enterprise Mode is still available to your users locally (if it was turned on).
-
- **To turn off local control using the registry**
-
-9. Open a registry editor, such as regedit.exe.
-
-10. Go `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode`, and then delete the **Enable** value.
- You can also use HKEY_CURRENT_USER, depending whether you want to turn off Enterprise Mode for users or for computers.
-
-11. Close and restart all instances of IE.
- Enterprise Mode is no longer a user option on the **Tools** menu in IE11. However, IE11 still looks at the site list (if it was turned on).

-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-By default, Internet Explorer 11 uses “natural metrics”. Natural metrics use inter-pixel spacing that creates more accurately rendered and readable text, avoiding many common font rendering problems with Windows Internet Explorer 9 or older sites.
-
-However, you might find that many intranet sites need you to use Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) metrics. To avoid potential compatibility issues, you must turn off natural metrics for those sites.
-
- **To turn off natural metrics**
-
-- Add the following HTTP header to each site: `X-UA-TextLayoutMetrics: gdi`
-
- -OR-
-
-- Add the following <meta> tag to each site: ``
-
-Turning off natural metrics automatically turns on GDI metrics.

-Before you can use a site list with Enterprise Mode, you need to turn the functionality on and set up the system for centralized control. By allowing centralized control, you can create one global list of websites that render using Enterprise Mode. Approximately 65 seconds after Internet Explorer 11 starts, it looks for a properly formatted site list. If a new site list if found, with a different version number than the active list, IE11 loads and uses the newer version. After the initial check, IE11 won’t look for an updated list again until you restart the browser.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> We recommend that you store and download your website list from a secure web server (https://), to help protect against data tampering. After the list is downloaded, it's stored locally on your employees' computers so if the centralized file location is unavailable, they can still use Enterprise Mode.
-
- **To turn on Enterprise Mode using Group Policy**
-
-1. Open your Group Policy editor and go to the `Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list` setting.
- Turning this setting on also requires you to create and store a site list. For more information about creating your site list, see the [Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](use-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md) topics.

-# User interface problems with Internet Explorer 11
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-Some of the features in both Internet Explorer 11 and IEAK 11 have moved around. Here are some of the more common changes.
-
-## Where did features go in the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11?
-Various installation or set up choices can prevent you from seeing certain pages in the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11. If, after going through the entire Wizard you still haven't found the screen you were looking for, try:
-
-- Making sure you picked the right version of IEAK 11 during installation. Most administrators should pick the **Internal** version, which has more screens and options available.
-
-- Making sure you picked all of the features you wanted from the **Feature Selection** page of the IE Customization Wizard 11. If you don't pick a feature, the associated page won't appear.
-
-## Where are the security zone settings?
-You can see your security zone settings by opening Internet Explorer for the desktop, clicking **Internet Options** from the **Tools** menu, and then clicking **Security**.
-
-## Where did the Favorites, Command, and Status bars go?
-For IE11, the UI has been changed to provide just the controls needed to support essential functionality, hiding anything considered non-essential, such as the **Favorites Bar**, **Command Bar**, **Menu Bar**, and **Status Bar**. This is intended to help focus users on the content of the page, rather than the browser itself. However, if you want these bars to appear, you can turn them back on using Group Policy settings.
-
- **To turn the toolbars back on**
-
-- Right click in the IE toolbar heading and choose to turn on the **Command bar**, **Favorites bar**, and **Status bar** from the menu.
- -OR-
- In IE, press ALT+V to show the View menu, press T to enter the Toolbars menu, and then press:
-
- - **C** to turn on the **Command Bar**
-
- - **F** to turn on the **Favorites Bar**
-
- - **S** to turn on the **Status Bar**
-
-## Where did the search box go?
-IE11 uses the **One Box** feature, which lets users type search terms directly into the **Address bar**. Any text entered into the **Address bar** that doesn't appear to be a URL is automatically sent to the currently selected search provider.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Depending on how you've set up your intranet search, the text entry might resolve to an intranet site. For more information about this, see [Intranet problems with Internet Explorer 11](intranet-problems-and-ie11.md).

-Enterprise Mode gives you a way for your legacy websites and apps to run using emulated versions of Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8, while your new sites and apps run using Internet Explorer 11, including modern standards and features.
-
-Although it’s called IE7 Enterprise Mode, it actually turns on Enterprise Mode along with Internet Explorer 7 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 Compatibility View. Compatibility View chooses which document mode to use based on whether there’s a `DOCTYPE` tag in your code:
-
-- **DOCTYPE tag found.** Webpages render using the Internet Explorer 7 document mode.
-- **No DOCTYPE tag found.** Webpages render using the Internet Explorer 5 document mode.

-Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge can work together to support your legacy web apps, while still defaulting to the higher bar for security and modern experiences enabled by Microsoft Edge. Working with multiple browsers can be difficult, particularly if you have a substantial number of internal sites. To help manage this dual-browser experience, we are introducing a new web tool specifically targeted towards larger organizations: the [Enterprise Mode Site List Portal](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/enterprise-mode-site-list-portal).
-
-## Available dual-browser experiences
-If you have specific websites and apps that you know have compatibility problems with Microsoft Edge, you can use the Enterprise Mode site list so that the websites automatically open using Internet Explorer 11. Additionally, if you know that your intranet sites aren't going to work correctly with Microsoft Edge, you can set all intranet sites to open using IE11 automatically.
-
-Using Enterprise Mode means that you can continue to use Microsoft Edge as your default browser, while also ensuring that your apps continue working on IE11.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> If you are running an earlier version of Internet Explorer, we recommend upgrading to IE11, so that any legacy apps continue to work correctly.
-
-For Windows 10, Microsoft Edge is the default browser experience. However, Microsoft Edge lets you continue to use IE11 for sites that are on your corporate intranet or included on your Enterprise Mode Site List.
-
-
-## What is Enterprise Mode?
-Enterprise Mode, a compatibility mode that runs on Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7 devices, lets websites render using a modified browser configuration that’s designed to emulate either Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8. Running in this mode helps to avoid many of the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of Internet Explorer.
-
-Many customers identify web app compatibility as a significant cost to upgrading because web apps need to be tested and upgraded before adopting a new browser. The improved compatibility provided by Enterprise Mode can help give customers confidence to upgrade to IE11, letting customers benefit from modern web standards, increased performance, improved security, and better reliability.
-
-### Enterprise Mode features
-Enterprise Mode includes the following features:
-
-- **Improved web app and website compatibility.** Through improved emulation, Enterprise Mode lets many legacy web apps run unmodified on IE11, supporting several site patterns that aren’t currently supported by existing document modes.
-
-- **Tool-based management for website lists.** Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to add website domains and domain paths and to specify whether a site renders using Enterprise Mode.
-Download the [Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=716853) or the [Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=394378), based on your operating system and schema.
-
-- **Centralized control.** You can specify the websites or web apps to interpret using Enterprise Mode, through an XML file on a website or stored locally. Domains and paths within those domains can be treated differently, allowing granular control. Use Group Policy to let users turn Enterprise Mode on or off from the Tools menu and to decide whether the Enterprise browser profile appears on the Emulation tab of the F12 developer tools.
-
- > [!Important]
- > All centrally-made decisions override any locally-made choices.
-
-- **Integrated browsing.** When Enterprise Mode is set up, users can browse the web normally, letting the browser change modes automatically to accommodate Enterprise Mode sites.
-
-- **Data gathering.** You can configure Enterprise Mode to collect local override data, posting back to a named server. This lets you "crowd source" compatibility testing from key users; gathering their findings to add to your central site list.
-
-## Enterprise Mode and the Enterprise Mode Site List
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
- XML file
-The Enterprise Mode Site List is an XML document that specifies a list of sites, their compatibility mode, and their intended browser. Using [Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=716853), you can automatically start a webpage using a specific browser. In IE11, the webpage can also be launched in a specific compatibility mode, so it always renders correctly. Your employees can easily view this site list by typing `about:compat` in either Microsoft Edge or IE11.
-
-Starting with Windows 10, version 1511 (also known as the Anniversary Update), you can also [restrict IE11 to only the legacy web apps that need it](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2016/05/19/edge14-ie11-better-together/), automatically sending sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List to Microsoft Edge.
-
-### Site list xml file
-This is a view of the [raw EMIE v2 schema.xml file](https://gist.github.com/kypflug/9e9961de771d2fcbd86b#file-emie-v2-schema-xml). There are equivalent Enterprise Mode Site List policies for both [Microsoft Edge](/microsoft-edge/deploy/emie-to-improve-compatibility) and [Internet Explorer 11](turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list.md). The Microsoft Edge list is used to determine which sites should open in IE11; while the IE11 list is used to determine the compatibility mode for a site, and which sites should open in Microsoft Edge. We recommend using one list for both browsers, where each policy points to the same XML file location.

-## Automatic updates
-Internet Explorer 11 makes browsing the web faster, easier, safer, and more reliable than ever. To help customers become more secure and up-to-date, Microsoft will distribute Internet Explorer 11 through Automatic Updates and the Windows Update and Microsoft Update sites. Internet Explorer 11 will be available for users of the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), and 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This article provides an overview of the delivery process and options available for IT administrators to control how and when Internet Explorer 11 is deployed to their organization through Automatic Updates.
-
-### Automatic delivery process
-Internet Explorer 11 only downloads and installs if it’s available for delivery through Automatic Updates; and Automatic Updates only offer Internet Explorer 11 to users with local administrator accounts. User’s without local administrator accounts won’t be prompted to install the update and will continue using their current version of Internet Explorer.
-
-Internet Explorer 11 replaces Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10. If you decide you don’t want Internet Explorer 11, and you’re running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1, you can uninstall it from the **View installed updates** section of the **Uninstall an update** page of the Control Panel.
-
-### Internet Explorer 11 automatic upgrades
-
-Internet Explorer 11 is offered through Automatic Updates and Windows Update as an Important update. Users running Windows 7 SP1, who have chosen to download and install updates automatically through Windows Update, are automatically upgraded to Internet Explorer 11.
-
-Users who were automatically upgraded to Internet Explorer 11 can decide to uninstall Internet Explorer 11. However, Internet Explorer 11 will still appear as an optional update through Windows Update.
-
-### Options for blocking automatic delivery
-
-If you use Automatic Updates in your company, but want to stop your users from automatically getting Internet Explorer 11, do one of the following:
-
-- **Download and use the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit.** Includes a Group Policy template and a script that permanently blocks Internet Explorer 11 from being offered by Windows Update or Microsoft Update as a high-priority update. You can download this kit from the [Microsoft Download Center](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=40722).
-
- > [!NOTE]
- >The toolkit won't stop users with local administrator accounts from manually installing Internet Explorer 11. Using this toolkit also prevents your users from receiving automatic upgrades from Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10 to Internet Explorer 11. For more information, see the [Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit frequently asked questions](../ie11-faq/faq-for-it-pros-ie11.yml).
-
-- **Use an update management solution to control update deployment.** If you already use an update management solution, like [Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)](/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/get-started/windows-server-update-services-wsus) or the more advanced [Configuration Manager](/previous-versions/system-center/system-center-2012-R2/gg682129(v=technet.10)), you should use that instead of the Internet Explorer Blocker Toolkit.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> If you use WSUS to manage updates, and Update Rollups are configured for automatic installation, Internet Explorer will automatically install throughout your company.
-
-
-### Prevent automatic installation of Internet Explorer 11 with WSUS
-
-Internet Explorer 11 will be released to WSUS as an Update Rollup package. Therefore, if you’ve configured WSUS to “auto-approve” Update Rollup packages, it’ll be automatically approved and installed. To stop Internet Explorer 11 from being automatically approved for installation, you need to:
-
-1. Click **Start**, click **Administrative Tools**, and then click **Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0**.
-
-2. Expand *ComputerName*, and then click **Options**.
-
-3. Click **Automatic Approvals**.
-
-4. Click the rule that automatically approves an update that is classified as Update Rollup, and then click **Edit.**
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > If you don’t see a rule like this, you most likely haven’t configured WSUS to automatically approve Update Rollups for installation. In this situation, you don’t have to do anything else.
-
-5. Click the **Update Rollups** property under the **Step 2: Edit the properties (click an underlined value)** section.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > The properties for this rule will resemble the following:
- Supported web standards include:
-
- - Web Graphics Library (WebGL)
-
- - Canvas 2D L2 extensions, including image smoothing using the nearest neighbor, dashed lines, and fill rules
-
- - Fullscreen API
-
- - Encrypted media extensions
-
- - Media source extensions
-
- - CSS flexible box layout module
-
- - And mutation observers like DOM4 and 5.3
-
- For more information about specific changes and additions, see the [IE11 guide for developers](/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/dev-guides/bg182636(v=vs.85)).
-
- - question: |
- What test tools exist to test for potential application compatibility issues?
- answer: |
- The Compat Inspector tool supports Windows Internet Explorer 9 through IE11. For more information, see [Compat Inspector User Guide](https://testdrive-archive.azurewebsites.net/html5/compatinspector/help/post.htm). In addition, you can use the new [F12 Developer Tools](/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/dev-guides/bg182632(v=vs.85)) that are included with IE11, or the [modern.ie](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=308902) website for Microsoft Edge.
-
- - question: |
- Why am I having problems launching my legacy apps with Internet Explorer 11?
- answer: |
- It’s most likely because IE no longer starts apps that use managed browser hosting controls, like in the .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0. You can get IE11 to use managed browser hosting controls again, by:
-
- - **For x86 systems or for 32-bit processes on x64 systems:** Go to the `HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\.NETFramework` registry key and change the **EnableIEHosting** value to **1**.
-
- - **For x64 systems or for 64-bit processes on x64 systems:** Go to the `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\.NETFramework` registry key and change the **EnableIEHosting** value to **1**.
-
- For more information, see the [Web Applications](/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/application-compatibility) section of the Application Compatibility in the .NET Framework 4.5 page.
-
- - question: |
- Is there a compatibility list for IE?
- answer: |
- Yes. You can review the XML-based [compatibility version list](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=403864).
-
- - question: |
- What is Enterprise Mode?
- answer: |
- Enterprise Mode is a compatibility mode designed for Enterprises. This mode lets websites render using a modified browser configuration that’s designed to avoid the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of IE, like Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8.
- For more information, see [Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list](../ie11-deploy-guide/turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list.md).
-
- - question: |
- What is the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager tool?
- answer: |
- Enterprise Mode Site List Manager tool gives you a way to add websites to your Enterprise Mode site list, without having to manually code XML.
- For more information, see all of the topics in [Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](../ie11-deploy-guide/use-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md).
-
- - question: |
- Are browser plug-ins supported in IE11?
- answer: |
- The immersive version of IE11 provides an add-on–free experience, so browser plugins won't load and dependent content won't be displayed. This doesn't apply to Internet Explorer for the desktop. For more information, see [Browsing Without Plug-ins](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=242587). However, Internet Explorer for the desktop and IE11 on Windows 7 with SP1 do support browser plugins, including ActiveX controls such as Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight.
-
- - question: |
- Is Adobe Flash supported on IE11?
- answer: |
- Adobe Flash is included as a platform feature and is available out of the box for Windows 8.1, running on both IE and Internet Explorer for the desktop. Users can turn this feature on or off using the **Manage Add-ons** dialog box, while administrators can turn this feature on or off using the Group Policy setting, **Turn off Adobe Flash in IE and prevent applications from using IE technology to instantiate Flash objects**.
- **Important**

-
- - question: |
- Can IEAK 11 build custom Internet Explorer 11 packages in languages other than the language of the in-use IEAK 11 version?
- answer: |
- Yes. You can use IEAK 11 to build custom Internet Explorer 11 packages in any of the supported 24 languages. You'll select the language for the custom package on the Language Selection page of the customization wizard.
-
- IEAK 11 is available in 24 languages but can build customized Internet Explorer 11 packages in all languages of the supported operating systems. Select a language below and download IEAK 11 from the download center:

-
- > [!Important]
- > If you administer your company’s environment using an update management solution, such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Configuration Manager, you don’t need to use the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit. Update management solutions let you completely manage your Windows Updates and Microsoft Updates, including your Internet Explorer 11 deployment.

- - name: Automatic Updates delivery process
- questions:
- - question: |
- Which users will receive Internet Explorer 11 important update?
- answer: |
- Users running either Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) will receive Internet Explorer 11 important update, if Automatic Updates are turned on. Windows Update is manually run. Automatic Updates will automatically downloand install the Internet Explorer 11 files if it’s turned on. For more information about how Internet Explorer works with Automatic Updates and information about other deployment blocking options, see [Internet Explorer 11 Delivery through automatic updates](../ie11-deploy-guide/ie11-delivery-through-automatic-updates.md).
-
- - question: |
- When is the Blocker Toolkit available?
- answer: |
- The Blocker Toolkit is currently available from the [Microsoft DownloCenter](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=40722).
-
- - question: |
- Whtools cI use to manage Windows Updates and Microsoft Updates in my company?
- answer: |
- We encourage anyone who wants full control over their company’s deployment of Windows Updates and Microsoft Updates, to use [Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)](/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/get-started/windows-server-update-services-wsus), a free tool for users of Windows Server. You calso use the more advanced configuration management tool, [Configuration Manager](/previous-versions/system-center/system-center-2012-R2/gg682041(v=technet.10)).
-
- - question: |
- How long does the blocker mechanism work?
- answer: |
- The Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit uses a registry key value to permanently turn off the automatic delivery of Internet Explorer 11. This behavior lasts long the registry key value isn’t removed or changed.
-
- - question: |
- Why should I use the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit to stop delivery of Internet Explorer 11? Why can’t I just disable all of Automatic Updates?
- answer: |
- Automatic Updates provide you with ongoing criticsecurity and reliability updates. Turning this feature off cleave your computers more vulnerable. Instead, we suggest thyou use update management solution, such WSUS, to fully control your environment while leaving this feature running, managing how and when the updates get to your user’s computers.
-
- The Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit safely allows Internet Explorer 11 to downloand install in companies thcan’t use WSUS, Configuration Manager, or
- other update management solution.
-
- - question: |
- Why don’t we just block URL access to Windows Update or Microsoft Update?
- answer: |
- Blocking the Windows Update or Microsoft Update URLs also stops delivery of criticsecurity and reliability updates for all of the supported versions of the Windows operating system; leaving your computers more vulnerable.
-

- answer: |
- The registry key name is **DoNotAllowIE11**, where:
-
- - A value of **1** turns off the automatic delivery of Internet Explorer 11 using Automatic Updates and turns off the Express install option.
-
- - Not providing a registry key, or using a value of anything other th**1**, lets the user install Internet Explorer 11 through Automatic Updates or a
- manuupdate.
-
- - question: |
- Does the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit stop users from manually installing Internet Explorer 11?

- - You use WSUS to manage updates and allow auto-approvals for Update Rollup installation.
-
- -and-
-
- - You have computers running either Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 (SP1) with Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10 installed.

-
-The **Accelerators** page of the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK 11) Customization Wizard lets you add accelerators to your employee computers. Accelerators are contextual menu options that can quickly get to a web service from any webpage. For example, an accelerator can look up a highlighted word in the dictionary or a selected location on a map.
-
-**Note**
-The **Add Accelerator** box appears.
-
-3. Use the **Browse** button to go to your custom accelerator XML file.
-
-4. Check the **Set this Accelerator as the default for the category** box if you want this accelerator to be the default value that shows up for the category.
-
-5. Click **Edit** to change your accelerator information, click **Set Default** to make an accelerator the default value for a category, or **Remove** to delete an accelerator.
-
-6. Click **Next** to go to the [Favorites, Favorites Bar, and Feeds](favorites-favoritesbar-and-feeds-ieak11-wizard.md) page or **Back** to go to the [Important URLs - Home Page and Support](important-urls-home-page-and-support-ieak11-wizard.md) page.

-
-There are two main approaches to how you can control the use of ActiveX controls in your company. For more info about ActiveX controls, including how to manage the controls using Group Policy, see [Group Policy and ActiveX installation](../ie11-deploy-guide/activex-installation-using-group-policy.md) in the [Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) - Deployment Guide for IT Pros](../ie11-deploy-guide/index.md).
-
-**Note** Note Note
- For more detailed info about how to set up your DHCP server, see your server documentation.
-
-**To set up automatic detection for DNS servers**
-
-1. In your DNS database file, the file that’s used to associate your host (computer) names to static IP addresses in a zone, you need to create a host record named, **WPAD**. This record contains entries for all of the hosts that require static mappings, such as workstations, name servers, and mail servers. It also has the IP address to the web server storing your automatic configuration (.js, .jvs, .pac, or .ins) file. The syntax is: -OR-
- Create a canonical name (CNAME) alias record, named WPAD. This record lets you use more than one name to point to a single host, letting you host both an FTP server and a web server on the same computer. It also includes the resolved name (not the IP address) of the server storing your automatic configuration (.pac) file.
- Note
-You might receive a security warning before downloading your Setup file, asking if you want to continue. Click **Run** to continue.
-
-2. Click **Next** to go to the [Custom Components](custom-components-ieak11-wizard.md) page or **Back** to go to the [Feature Selection](feature-selection-ieak11-wizard.md) page.

You can also run just a section of an .inf file by using the Setupx.dll InstallHinfSection entry point. To make this work, your installation script must copy the .inf file to the Windows\Inf folder for your custom component.

-# Use the File Locations page in the IEAK 11 Wizard
-

-
-The **File Locations** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you change the location of your folders, including:
-
-- Where you’ll create and store your custom installation package.
-
-- Where you’ll download and store Internet Explorer 11.
-
-**Important**
-**Note**
-The **Advanced Options** box opens and lets you change how the wizard downloads and gets files, and how it imports settings from your .ins file.
-
-3. Check the box letting IE Customization Wizard 11 look for the latest components, using Automatic Version Synchronization.
-This option lets the wizard connect to the IE **Downloads** page to look for updated versions of IE since you last ran the wizard.
-**Important**
-By importing settings from an .ins file, you can re-use existing configurations. This saves you time if your packages have the same or similar settings.
-
-5. Browse to your component download folder.
-Automatic Version Synchronization automatically checks the component download folder to see if you have the latest version of IE. To keep this folder up-to-date, you shouldn’t change its location. However, if you want to keep both a previous version of IE and the latest version, we recommend you download the components to a different location.
-
-6. Click **OK** to close the **Advanced Options** box, and then click **Next** to go to the [Platform Selection](platform-selection-ieak11-wizard.md) page.

-# Security features and IEAK 11
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-Use Internet Explorer in conjunction with your new and existing security measures, to make sure the computers in your company aren’t compromised while on the Internet.
-
-## Enhanced Protection Mode
-Extends Protected Mode to further restrict the ability of an attacker to access sensitive or personal information in personal and corporate environments, including:
-
-- Restricting access to higher-level processes in the AppContainer.
-
-- Improving security against memory safety exploits in 64-bit tab processes.
-
-This feature is turned off by default. For more info, see [Enhanced Protected Mode problems with Internet Explorer](../ie11-deploy-guide/enhanced-protected-mode-problems-with-ie11.md).
-
-## Certificates and Digital Signatures
-Web browsers have security features that help protect users from downloading harmful programs. Depending on the security level and the platform that you are using, the user may be prevented from, or warned against, downloading programs that are not digitally signed. Digital signatures show users where programs come from, verify that the programs have not been altered, and ensure that users do not receive unnecessary warnings when installing the custom browser.
-
-Because of this, the custom .cab files created by the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard should be signed, unless you pre-configure the Local intranet zone with a Low security setting. Any custom components you distribute with your browser package for these platforms should also be signed.
-
-### Understanding digital certificates
-To sign your package and custom programs digitally, you must first obtain a digital certificate. You can obtain a certificate from a certification authority or a privately-controlled certificate server. For more info about obtaining certificates or setting up a certificate server, see the following:
-
-- Microsoft-trusted certification authorities ([Windows root certificate program requirements](/previous-versions//cc751157(v=technet.10))).
-
-- Certificates overview documentation ([Certificates](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc732331(v=ws.11))).
-
-- Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services ( [Active Directory Certificate Services](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc732625(v=ws.11))).
-
-- Enterprise public key infrastructure (PKI) snap-in documentation ([Enterprise PKI](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc771400(v=ws.11))).
-
-After you get a certificate, you should note the public and private keys, which are a matched set of keys that are created by the software publisher for encryption and decryption. They are generated on your device at the time the certificate is requested, and your private key is never sent to the certification authority or any other party.
-
-### Understanding code signing
-Code signing varies, depening on how you plan to distribute your custom install package.
-
-- **If you plan to distribute custom packages over the Internet**, you must sign all custom components and the CMAK profile package (if used). Before you start the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard, make sure that both are signed. Typically, their respective manufacturers will have signed them. Otherwise, you can sign these using the Sign Tool (SignTool.exe) ( [SignTool.exe (Sign Tool)](/dotnet/framework/tools/signtool-exe)) or use the File Signing Tool (Signcode.exe) ([Signcode.exe (File Signing Tool)](/previous-versions/9sh96ycy(v=vs.100))). You should read the documentation included with these tools for more info about all of the signing options.
-In addition, after you run the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard, we highly recommend that you sign the IEAK package and the branding.cab file (if you are using it separately from the package). You can do this also using the tools mentioned above. For more information, download Code-Signing Best Practices ([Code-Signing Best Practices](/previous-versions/windows/hardware/design/dn653556(v=vs.85))).
-
-- **If you plan to distribute your custom packages over an intranet**, sign the custom files or preconfigure the Local intranet zone with a Low security setting, because the default security setting does not allow users to download unsigned programs or code.
-
-### Understanding your private key
-Your device creates two keys during the enrollment process of your digital certificate. One is a public key, which is sent to anyone you want to communicate with, and one is a private key, which is stored on your local device and must be kept secret. You use the private key to encrypt your data and the corresponding public key to decrypt it.
-
-You must keep your private key, private. To do this, we recommend:
-
-- **Separate test and release signing.** Set up a parallel code signing infrastructure, using test certificates created by an internal test root certificate authority. This helps to ensure that your certificates aren’t stored on an insecure build system, reducing the likelihood that they will be compromised.
-
-- **Tamper-proof storage.** Save your private keys on secure, tamper-proof hardware devices.
-
-- **Security.** Protect your private keys using physical security measures, such as cameras and card readers.

-
-The **Security and Privacy Settings** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you manage your security zones, privacy settings, and content ratings. These settings help restrict the types of content your employees can access from the Internet, including any content that might be considered offensive or otherwise inappropriate in a corporate setting.
-
-**To use the Security and Privacy Settings page**
-
-1. Decide if you want to customize your security zones and privacy settings. You can pick:
-
- - **Do not customize security zones and privacy.** Pick this option if you don’t want to customize your security zones and privacy settings.
-
- - **Import the current security zones and privacy.** Pick this option to import your security zone and privacy settings from your computer and use them as the preset for your employee’s settings. **Note** **Note** The customizations you make on this page only apply to Internet Explorer for the desktop on Windows 7.
-
-**To use the User Experience page**
-
-1. Choose how your employee should interact with Setup, including:
-
- - **Interactive installation**. Lets your employees change installation options while installing your custom package. This experience shows all of the progress and error messages throughout the process.
-
- - **Hands-free installation**. Lets you make all of the decisions for your employees. However, they’ll still see all of the progress and error messages throughout the process.
-
- - **Completely silent installation**. Lets you make all of the decisions for your employees and hides all of the progress and error messages. Because this mode is completely silent, if the installation fails, your employees won’t know and they won’t be able to run the installation package again.
- Both the hands-free and completely silent installation options will:
-
- - Answer prompts so Setup can continue.
-
- - Accept the license agreement.
-
- - Determine that Internet Explorer 11 is installed and not just downloaded.
-
- - Perform your specific installation type.
-
- - Install IE in the default location, unless it is already installed. In that case, the new version of the browser is installed in the same location as the previous version.
-
-2. Choose if your employee’s device will restart at the end of Setup.
-
- - **Default**. Prompts your employees to restart after installing IE.
-
- - **No restart**. Doesn’t restart the computer after installing IE. The employee will have to manually restart later.
-
- - **Force restart**. Automatically restarts the computer after installing IE.
-
-3. Click **Next** to go to the [Browser User Interface](browser-ui-ieak11-wizard.md) page or **Back** to go to the [Internal Install](internal-install-ieak11-wizard.md) page.

-
-The **Wizard Complete – Next Steps** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you build your custom installation package, after you click **Finish**.
-
-In most cases, your next steps will be to prepare your files for installation from your network or from another distribution method. If you haven’t already done it, you’ll need to digitally sign any program or .cab files that are going to be distributed over the Internet or over an intranet that isn’t configured to allow downloads.
-
-After that, the steps you’ll use to distribute your customized browser will vary, depending on your version of IEAK (Internal or External) and the media you’re using to distribute the package. For more information, see the [Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) - Deployment Guide for IT Pros](../ie11-deploy-guide/index.md).

-title: Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge frequently asked questions (FAQ) for IT Pros
-summary: |
-
-sections:
- - name: Cookie-related questions
- questions:
- - question: |
- What is a cookie?
- answer: |
- An HTTP cookie (the web cookie or browser cookie) is a small piece of data that a server sends to the user's web browser. The web browser may store the cookie and return it to the server together with the next request. For example, a cookie might be used to indicate whether two requests come from the same browser in order to allow the user to remain logged-in. The cookie records stateful information for the stateless HTTP protocol.
-
- - question: |
- How does Internet Explorer handle cookies?
- answer: |
- For more information about how Internet Explorer handles cookies, see the following articles:
-
- - [Beware Cookie Sharing in Cross-Zone Scenarios](/archive/blogs/ieinternals/beware-cookie-sharing-in-cross-zone-scenarios)
- - [A Quick Look at P3P](/archive/blogs/ieinternals/a-quick-look-at-p3p)
- - [Internet Explorer Cookie Internals FAQ](/archive/blogs/ieinternals/internet-explorer-cookie-internals-faq)
- - [Privacy Beyond Blocking Cookies](/archive/blogs/ie/privacy-beyond-blocking-cookies-bringing-awareness-to-third-party-content)
- - [Description of Cookies](https://support.microsoft.com/help/260971/description-of-cookies)
-
- - question: |
- Where does Internet Explorer store cookies?
- answer: |
- To see where Internet Explorer stores its cookies, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Start File Explorer.
- 2. Select **Views** \> **Change folder and search options**.
- 3. In the **Folder Options** dialog box, select **View**.
- 4. In **Advanced settings**, select **Do not show hidden files, folders, or drivers**.
- 5. Clear **Hide protected operation system files (Recommended)**.
- 6. Select **Apply**.
- 7. Select **OK**.
-
- The following are the folder locations where the cookies are stored:
-
- **In Windows 10**
- C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache
-
- **In Windows 8 and Windows 8.1**
- C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCookies
-
- **In Windows 7**
- C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
- C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low
-
- - question: |
- What is the per-domain cookie limit?
- answer: |
- Since the June 2018 cumulative updates for Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, the per-domain cookie limit is increased from 50 to 180 for both browsers. The cookies vary by path. So, if the same cookie is set for the same domain but for different paths, it's essentially a new cookie.
-
- There's still a 5 Kilobytes (KB) limit on the size of the cookie header that is sent out. This limit can cause some cookies to be lost after they exceed that value.
-
- The JavaScript limitation was updated to 10 KB from 4 KB.
-
- For more information, see [Internet Explorer Cookie Internals (FAQ)](/archive/blogs/ieinternals/internet-explorer-cookie-internals-faq).
-
- - name: Additional information about cookie limits
- questions:
- - question: |
- What does the Cookie RFC allow?
- answer: |
- RFC 2109 defines how cookies should be implemented, and it defines minimum values that browsers support. According to the RFC, browsers would ideally have no limits on the size and number of cookies that a browser can handle. To meet the specifications, the user agent should support the following:
-
- - At least 300 cookies total
- - At least 20 cookies per unique host or domain name
-
- For practicality, individual browser makers set a limit on the total number of cookies that any one domain or unique host can set. They also limit the total number of cookies that can be stored on a computer.
-
- - question: |
- Cookie size limit per domain
- answer: |
- Some browsers also limit the amount of space that any one domain can use for cookies. This means that if your browser sets a limit of 4,096 bytes per domain for cookies, 4,096 bytes is the maximum available space in that domain even though you can set up to 180 cookies.
-
- - name: Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC)-related questions
- questions:
- - question: |
- Is an example Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) file available?
- answer: |
- Here's a simple PAC file:
-
- ```vb
- function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
- {
- return "PROXY proxyserver:portnumber";
- }
- ```
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > The previous PAC always returns the `proxyserver:portnumber` proxy.
-
- For more information about how to write a PAC file and about the different functions in a PAC file, see [the FindProxyForURL website](https://findproxyforurl.com/).

- - name: Other questions
- questions:
- - question: |
- How to set home and start pages in Microsoft Edge and allow user editing
- answer: |
- For more information, see the following blog article:
-
- [How do I set the home page in Microsoft Edge?](https://support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/change-your-browser-home-page-a531e1b8-ed54-d057-0262-cc5983a065c6)
-
- - question: |
- How to add sites to the Enterprise Mode (EMIE) site list
- answer: |
- For more information about how to add sites to an EMIE list, see [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](../ie11-deploy-guide/add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-2-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md).
-
- - question: |
- What is Content Security Policy (CSP)?
- answer: |
- By using [Content Security Policy](/microsoft-edge/dev-guide/security/content-security-policy), you create an allowlist of sources of trusted content in the HTTP headers. You also pre-approve certain servers for content that is loaded into a webpage, and instruct the browser to execute or render only resources from those sources. You can use this technique to prevent malicious content from being injected into sites.
-
- Content Security Policy is supported in all versions of Microsoft Edge. It lets web developers lock down the resources that can be used by their web application. This helps prevent [cross-site scripting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting) attacks that remain a common vulnerability on the web. However, the first version of Content Security Policy was difficult to implement on websites that used inline script elements that either pointed to script sources or contained script directly.
-
- CSP2 makes these scenarios easier to manage by adding support for nonces and hashes for script and style resources. A nonce is a cryptographically strong random value that is generated on each page load that appears in both the CSP policy and in the script tags on the page. Using nonces can help minimize the need to maintain a list of allowed source URL values while also allowing trusted scripts that are declared in script elements to run.
-
- For more information, see the following articles:
-
- - [Introducing support for Content Security Policy Level 2](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/01/10/edge-csp-2/)
- - [Content Security Policy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Security_Policy)
-
- - question: |
- Where to find Internet Explorer security zones registry entries
- answer: |
- Most of the Internet Zone entries can be found in [Internet Explorer security zones registry entries for advanced users](/troubleshoot/browsers/ie-security-zones-registry-entries).
-
- This article was written for Internet Explorer 6 but is still applicable to Internet Explorer 11.
-
- The default Zone Keys are stored in the following locations:
-
- - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones
- - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones
-
- - question: |
- Why don't HTML5 videos play in Internet Explorer 11?
- answer: |
- To play HTML5 videos in the Internet Zone, use the default settings or make sure that the registry key value of **2701** under **Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3** is set to **0**.
-
- - 0 (the default value): Allow
- - 3: Disallow
-
- This key is read by the **URLACTION\_ALLOW\_AUDIO\_VIDEO 0x00002701** URL action flag that determines whether media elements (audio and video) are allowed in pages in a URL security zone.
-
- For more information, see [Unable to play HTML5 Videos in IE](/archive/blogs/askie/unable-to-play-html5-videos-in-ie).
-
- For Windows 10 N and Windows KN editions, you must also download the feature pack that is discussed in [Media feature pack for Windows 10 N and Windows 10 KN editions](https://support.microsoft.com/help/3010081/media-feature-pack-for-windows-10-n-and-windows-10-kn-editions).
-
- For more information about how to check Windows versions, see [Which version of Windows operating system am I running?](https://support.microsoft.com/help/13443/windows-which-version-am-i-running)
-
- - question: |
- What is the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal?
- answer: |
- This is a new feature to add sites to your enterprise mode site list XML. For more information, see [Enterprise Mode Site List Portal](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/enterprise-mode-site-list-portal).
-
- - question: |
- What is Enterprise Mode Feature?
- answer: |
- For more information, see [Enterprise Mode and the Enterprise Mode Site List](../ie11-deploy-guide/what-is-enterprise-mode.md).
-
- - question: |
- Where can I obtain a list of HTTP Status codes?
- answer: |
- For information about this list, see [HTTP Status Codes](/windows/win32/winhttp/http-status-codes).
-
- - question: |
- What is end of support for Internet Explorer 11?
- answer: |
- Internet Explorer 11 is the last major version of Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 11 will continue receiving security updates and technical support for the lifecycle of the version of Windows on which it's installed.
-
- For more information, see [Lifecycle FAQ - Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge](/lifecycle/faq/internet-explorer-microsoft-edge).
-
- - question: |
- How to configure TLS (SSL) for Internet Explorer
- answer: |
- For more information about how to configure TLS/SSL for Internet Explorer, see [Group Policy Setting to configure TLS/SSL](https://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#380).
-
- - question: |
- What is Site to Zone?
- answer: |
- Site to Zone usually refers to one of the following:
-
- **Site to Zone Assignment List**
- This is a Group Policy policy setting that can be used to add sites to the various security zones.
-
- The Site to Zone Assignment List policy setting associates sites to zones by using the following values for the Internet security zones:
-
- - Intranet zone
- - Trusted Sites zone
- - Internet zone
- - Restricted Sites zone
-
- If you set this policy setting to **Enabled**, you can enter a list of sites and their related zone numbers. By associating a site to a zone, you can make sure that the security settings for the specified zone are applied to the site.
-
- **Site to Zone Mapping**
- Site to Zone Mapping is stored as the name of the key. The protocol is a registry value that has a number that assigns it to the corresponding zone. Internet Explorer will read from the following registry subkeys for the sites that are deployed through the Site to Zone assignment list:
-
- - HKEY\_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap
- - HKEY\_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMapKey
-
- **Site to Zone Assignment List policy**
- This policy setting is available for both Computer Configuration and User Configuration:
-
- - Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel > Security Page
- - User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel > Security Page
-

- - question: |
- What are the limits for MaxConnectionsPerServer, MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server for the current versions of Internet Explorer?
- answer: |
- For more information about these settings and limits, see [Connectivity Enhancements in Windows Internet Explorer 8](/previous-versions/cc304129(v=vs.85)).
-
- - question: |
- What is the MaxConnectionsPerProxy setting, and what are the maximum allowed values for this setting?
- answer: |
- The **MaxConnectionsPerProxy** setting controls the number of connections that a single-user client can maintain to a given host by using a proxy server.
-

-4. Click **Save**.
-
-
-**To set a group's required Approvers**
-1. In the **Group and role settings** area of the page, choose the group name you want to update with Approvers from the **Group name** box.
-
-2. In the **Required approvers** area, choose which roles are required to approve a change request for the group. You can choose one or many roles.
-
- - **App Manager.** All employees in the selected group must get change request approval by someone assigned this role.
-
- You can change the name of this role by clicking the pencil icon and providing a new name in the **Edit role name** box.
-

-# Create a change request using the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-Employees assigned to the Requester role can create a change request. A change request is used to tell the Approvers and the Administrator that a website needs to be added or removed from the Enterprise Mode Site List. The employee can navigate to each stage of the process by using the workflow links provided at the top of each page of the portal.
-
-> [!Important]
-> Each Requester must have access to a test machine with Administrator rights, letting him or her get to the pre-production environment to make sure that the requested change is correct.
-
-**To create a new change request**
-1. The Requester (an employee that has been assigned the Requester role) signs into the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal, and clicks **Create new request**.
-
- The **Create new request** page appears.
-
-2. Fill out the required fields, based on the group and the app, including:
-
- - **Group name.** Select the name of your group from the dropdown box.
-
- - **App name.** Type the name of the app you want to add, delete, or update in the Enterprise Mode Site List.
-
- - **Search all apps.** If you can't remember the name of your app, you can click **Search all apps** and search the list.
-
- - **Add new app.** If your app isn't listed, you can click **Add new app** to add it to the list.
-
- - **Requested by.** Automatically filled in with your name.
-
- - **Description.** Add descriptive info about the app.
-
- - **Requested change.** Select whether you want to **Add to EMIE**, **Delete from EMIE**, or **Update to EMIE**.
-
- - **Reason for request.** Select the best reason for why you want to update, delete, or add the app.
-
- - **Business impact (optional).** An optional area where you can provide info about the business impact of this app and the change.
-
- - **App location (URL).** The full URL location to the app, starting with https:// or https://.
-
- - **App best viewed in.** Select the best browser experience for the app. This can be Internet Explorer 5 through Internet Explorer 11 or one of the IE7Enterprise or IE8Enterprise modes.
-
- - **Is an x-ua tag used?** Select **Yes** or **No** whether an x-ua-compatible tag is used by the app. For more info about x-ua-compatible tags, see the topics in [Defining document compatibility](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/cc288325(v=vs.85).aspx).
-
-4. Click **Save and continue** to save the request and get the app info sent to the pre-production environment site list for testing.
-
- A message appears that the request was successful, including a **Request ID** number, saying that the change is being made to the pre-production environment site list.
-
-5. The Requester gets an email with a batch script, that when run, configures their test machine for the pre-production environment, along with the necessary steps to make sure the changed info is correct.
-
- - **If the change is correct.** The Requester asks the approvers to approve the change request by selecting **Successful** and clicking **Send for approval**.
-
- - **If the change is incorrect.** The Requester can rollback the change in pre-production or ask for help from the Administrator.
-
-## Next steps
-After the change request is created, the Requester must make sure the suggested changes work in the pre-production environment. For these steps, see [Verify your changes using the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal](verify-changes-preprod-enterprise-mode-portal.md).

-# Edit the Enterprise Mode site list using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-You can use Internet Explorer 11 and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to change whether page rendering should use Enterprise Mode or the default Internet Explorer browser configuration. You can also add, remove, or delete associated comments.
-
-If you need to edit a lot of websites, you probably don’t want to do it one at a time. Instead, you can edit your saved XML or TXT file and add the sites back again. For information about how to do this, depending on your operating system and schema version, see [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-2-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md) or [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-1-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md).
-
- **To change how your page renders**
-
-1. In the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, double-click the site you want to change.
-
-2. Change the comment or the compatibility mode option.
-
-3. Click **Save** to validate your changes and to add the updated information to your site list.
-If your change passes validation, it’s added to the global site list. If the update doesn’t pass validation, you’ll get an error message explaining the problem. You’ll then be able to either cancel the update or ignore the validation problem and add it to your list anyway. For more information about fixing validation issues, see [Fix validation problems using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](fix-validation-problems-using-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md).
-
-4. On the **File** menu, click **Save to XML**, and save the updated file.
-You can save the file locally or to a network share. However, you must make sure you deploy it to the location specified in your registry key. For more information about the registry key, see [Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list](turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list.md).

-## Enterprise Mode and the Enterprise Mode Site List XML file
-The Enterprise Mode Site List is an XML document that specifies a list of sites, their compat mode, and their intended browser. Using [Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=716853), you can automatically start a webpage using a specific browser. In the case of IE11, the webpage can also be launched in a specific compat mode, so it always renders correctly. Your employees can easily view this site list by typing _about:compat_ in either Microsoft Edge or IE11.
-
-Starting with Windows 10, version 1511 (also known as the Anniversary Update), you can also [restrict IE11 to only the legacy web apps that need it](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2016/05/19/edge14-ie11-better-together/), automatically sending sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List to Microsoft Edge.
-
-### Site list xml file
-
-This is a view of the [raw EMIE v2 schema.xml file](https://gist.github.com/kypflug/9e9961de771d2fcbd86b#file-emie-v2-schema-xml). There are equivalent Enterprise Mode Site List policies for both [Microsoft Edge](/microsoft-edge/deploy/emie-to-improve-compatibility) and [Internet Explorer 11](/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list). The Microsoft Edge list is used to determine which sites should open in IE11; while the IE11 list is used to determine the compat mode for a site, and which sites should open in Microsoft Edge. We recommend using one list for both browsers, where each policy points to the same XML file location.
-
-```xml
-
-Make sure that you don't specify a protocol when adding your URLs. Using a URL like `
**Example** <rules version="205">
<emie>
<domain>contoso.com</domain>
</emie>
</rules> |Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge |
-|<emie> |The parent node for the Enterprise Mode section of the schema. All <domain> entries will have either IE8 Enterprise Mode or IE7 Enterprise Mode applied.
**Example** <rules version="205">
<emie>
<domain>contoso.com</domain>
</emie>
</rules>
For IPv6 ranges:
<rules version="205">
<emie>
<domain>[10.122.34.99]:8080</domain>
</emie>
</rules>
**or**
For IPv4 ranges:<rules version="205">
<emie>
<domain>[10.122.34.99]:8080</domain>
</emie>
</rules> | Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge |
-|<docMode> |The parent node for the document mode section of the section. All <domain> entries will get IE5 - IE11 document modes applied. If there's a <domain> element in the docMode section that uses the same value as a <domain> element in the emie section, the emie element is applied.
**Example**
<rules version="205">
<docmode>
<domain docMode="7">contoso.com</domain>
</docmode>
</rules> |Internet Explorer 11 |
-|<domain> |A unique entry added for each site you want to put on the Enterprise Mode site list. The first <domain> element will overrule any additional <domain> elements that use the same value for the section. You can use port numbers for this element.
**Example**
<emie>
<domain>contoso.com:8080</domain>
</emie> |Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge |
-|<path> |A unique entry added for each path under a domain you want to put on the Enterprise Mode site list. The <path> element is a child of the <domain> element. Additionally, the first <path> element will overrule any additional <path> elements in the schema section.
**Example**
<emie>
<domain exclude="false">fabrikam.com
<path exclude="true">/products</path>
</domain>
</emie>
Where [https://fabrikam.com](https://fabrikam.com) doesn't use IE8 Enterprise Mode, but [https://fabrikam.com/products](https://fabrikam.com/products) does. |Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge |
-
-### Schema attributes
-This table includes the attributes used by the Enterprise Mode schema.
-|Attribute|Description|Supported browser|
-|--- |--- |--- |
-|<version>|Specifies the version of the Enterprise Mode Site List. This attribute is supported for the <rules> element.|Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge|
-|<exclude>|Specifies the domain or path that is excluded from getting the behavior applied. This attribute is supported on the
**Example** <emie>
<domain exclude="false">fabrikam.com
<path exclude="true">/products</path>
</domain>
</emie>
**Example**<docMode>
<domain exclude="false">fabrikam.com
<path docMode="7">/products</path>
</domain>
</docMode>|Internet Explorer 11|
-
-### Using Enterprise Mode and document mode together
-If you want to use both Enterprise Mode and document mode together, you need to be aware that <emie> entries override <docMode> entries for the same domain.
-
-For example, say you want all of the sites in the contoso.com domain to open using IE8 Enterprise Mode, except test.contoso.com, which needs to open in document mode 11. Because Enterprise Mode takes precedence over document mode, if you want test.contoso.com to open using document mode, you'll need to explicitly add it as an exclusion to the <emie> parent node.
-
-```xml
-<docMode>
|
<domain docMode="5">contoso.com</domain>
<domain docMode="9">info.contoso.com</domain>
<docMode>
|
-|You can specify exact URLs by listing the full path. |<emie>
|
<domain exclude="false">bing.com</domain>
<domain exclude="false" forceCompatView="true">contoso.com</domain>
<emie>
|
-|You can nest paths underneath domains. |<emie>
|
<domain exclude="true">contoso.com
<path exclude="false">/about</path>
<path exclude="true">
/about/business</path>
</domain>
</emie>
|
-|You can’t add a path underneath a path. The file will still be parsed, but the sub-path will be ignored. |<emie>
|
<domain exclude="true">contoso.com
<path>/about
<path exclude="true">/business</path>
</path>
</domain>
</emie>

-title: Enterprise Mode schema v.2 guidance (Internet Explorer 11 for IT Pros)
-ms.sitesec: library
-ms.date: 12/04/2017
----
-
-
-# Enterprise Mode schema v.2 guidance
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-
-Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to create and update your site list for devices running Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10, using the version 2.0 (v.2) of the Enterprise Mode schema. If you don't want to use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, you also have the option to update your XML schema using Notepad, or any other XML-editing app.
-
-**Important**
-If you're running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 and you've been using the version 1.0 (v.1) of the schema, you can continue to do so, but you won't get the benefits that come with the updated schema. For info about the v.1 schema, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-1-guidance.md).
-
-## Enterprise Mode schema v.2 updates
-Because of the schema changes, you can't combine the old version (v.1) with the new version (v.2) of the schema. If you look at your XML file, you can tell which version you're using by:
-
-- <rules>. If your schema root node includes this key, you're using the v.1 version of the schema.
-
-- <site-list>. If your schema root node includes this key, you're using the v.2 version of the schema.
-
-You can continue to use the v.1 version of the schema on Windows 10, but you won't have the benefits of the new v.2 version schema updates and new features. Additionally, saving the v.1 version of the schema in the new Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) automatically updates the file to use the v.2 version of the schema.
-
-### Enterprise Mode v.2 schema example
-The following is an example of the v.2 version of the Enterprise Mode schema.
-
-**Important**
-Make sure that you don't specify a protocol when adding your URLs. Using a URL like `
**Example**
<site-list version="205">
| Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge |
-|<site> |A unique entry added for each site you want to put on the Enterprise Mode site list. The first <site> element will overrule any additional <site> elements that use the same value for the <url> element.
<site url="contoso.com">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>
</site-list>
**Example** <site url="contoso.com">
<compat-mode>default</compat-mode>
<open-in>none</open-in>
</site>
**or** For IPv4 ranges:
<site url="10.122.34.99:8080">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<site>
**or** For IPv6 ranges:<site url="[10.122.34.99]:8080">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<site>
You can also use the self-closing version, <url="contoso.com" />, which also sets:
**Example**
**or**
<site url="contoso.com">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
</site>
For IPv4 ranges:<site url="10.122.34.99:8080">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<site><site url="[10.122.34.99]:8080">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<site>
This element is required for sites included in the **EmIE** section of the v.1 schema and is needed to load in IE8 Enterprise Mode.
This element is required for sites included in the **EmIE** section of the v.1 schema and is needed to load in IE7 Enterprise Mode
This tag replaces the combination of the `"forceCompatView"="true"` attribute and the list of sites specified in the EmIE section of the v.1 version of the schema.
**Examples**<site url="contoso.com">
<open-in>none</open-in>
</site>
Where
**Example**<site url="contoso.com/travel">
In this example, if [https://contoso.com/travel](https://contoso.com/travel) is encountered in a redirect chain in Microsoft Edge, it will be opened in Internet Explorer.| Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge|
-|version |Specifies the version of the Enterprise Mode Site List. This attribute is supported for the <site-list> element. | Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge|
-|url|Specifies the URL (and port number using standard port conventions) to which the child elements apply. The URL can be a domain, sub-domain, or any path URL.
<open-in allow-redirect="true">IE11 </open-in>
</site>
**Note**
Make sure that you don't specify a protocol. Using <site url="contoso.com"> applies to both [https://contoso.com](https://contoso.com) and [https://contoso.com](https://contoso.com).
**Example**<site url="contoso.com:8080">
In this example, going to [https://contoso.com:8080](https://contoso.com:8080) using Microsoft Edge, causes the site to open in IE11 and load in IE8 Enterprise Mode. | Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge|
-
-### Deprecated attributes
-These v.1 version schema attributes have been deprecated in the v.2 version of the schema:
-
-|Deprecated attribute|New attribute|Replacement example|
-|--- |--- |--- |
-|<forceCompatView>|<compat-mode>|Replace <forceCompatView="true"> with <compat-mode>IE7Enterprise</compat-mode>|
-|<docMode>|<compat-mode>|Replace <docMode="IE5"> with <compat-mode>IE5</compat-mode>|
-|<doNotTransition>|<open-in>|Replace:
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>
<doNotTransition="true"> with <open-in>none</open-in>|
-|<domain> and <path>|<site>|Replace:<emie>
With:
<domain exclude="false">contoso.com</domain>
</emie><site url="contoso.com"/>
**-AND-**
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
</site>
Replace:<emie>
<domain exclude="true">contoso.com
<path exclude="false" forceCompatView="true">/about</path>
</domain>
</emie>
With:<site url="contoso.com/about">
<compat-mode>IE7Enterprise</compat-mode>
</site>|
-
-While the old, replaced attributes aren't supported in the v.2 version of the schema, they'll continue to work in the v.1 version of the schema. If, however, you're using the v.2 version of the schema and these attributes are still there, the v.2 version schema takes precedence. We don’t recommend combining the two schemas, and instead recommend that you move to the v.2 version of the schema to take advantage of the new features.
-
-**Important**
-Saving your v.1 version of the file using the new Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) automatically updates the XML to the new v.2 version of the schema.
-
-### What not to include in your schema
-We recommend that you not add any of the following items to your schema because they can make your compatibility list behave in unexpected ways:
-
-- Don’t use protocols. For example, https://, https://, or custom protocols. They break parsing.
-- Don’t use wildcards.
-- Don’t use query strings, ampersands break parsing.

-## Enterprise Mode Site List Manager and the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal tools
-You can build and manage your Enterprise Mode Site List is by using any generic text editor. However, we’ve also provided a couple tools that can make that process even easier.
-
-### Enterprise Mode Site List Manager
-This tool helps you create error-free XML documents with simple n+1 versioning and URL verification. We recommend using this tool if your site list is relatively small. For more info about this tool, see the [Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](use-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md) topics.
-
-There are 2 versions of this tool, both supported on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10:
-
-- [Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=42501). This is an older version of the schema that you must use if you want to create and update your Enterprise Mode Site List for devices running the v.1 version of the schema.
-
- We strongly recommend moving to the new schema, v.2. For more info, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.2 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-2-guidance.md).
-
-- [Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=49974). The updated version of the schema, including new functionality. You can use this version of the schema to create and update your Enterprise Mode Site List for devices running the v.2 version of the schema.
-
- If you open a v.1 version of your Enterprise Mode Site List using this version, it will update the schema to v.2, automatically. For more info, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-1-guidance.md).
-
-If your list is too large to add individual sites, or if you have more than one person managing the site list, we recommend using the Enterprise Site List Portal.
-
-### Enterprise Mode Site List Portal
-The [Enterprise Mode Site List Portal](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/enterprise-mode-site-list-portal) is an open-source web tool on GitHub that allows you to manage your Enterprise Mode Site List, hosted by the app, with multiple users. The portal is designed to use IIS and a SQL Server backend, leveraging Active Directory (AD) for employee management.
-
-In addition to all the functionality of the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager tool, the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal helps you:
-
-- Manage site lists from any device supporting Windows 7 or greater.
-
-- Submit change requests.
-
-- Operate offline through an on-premise solution.
-
-- Provide role-based governance.
-
-- Test configuration settings before releasing to a live environment.
-
-Updates to your site list are made by submitting new change requests, which are then approved by a designated group of people, put into a pre-production environment for testing, and then deployed immediately, or scheduled for deployment later.
-
-Because the tool is open-source, the source code is readily available for examination and experimentation. We encourage you to [fork the code, submit pull requests, and send us your feedback](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/enterprise-mode-site-list-portal)! For more info about the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal, see the [Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](use-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md) topics.

-# Enterprise Mode for Microsoft Edge
-Enterprise Mode, a compatibility mode that runs on Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7 devices, lets websites render using a modified browser configuration that’s designed to emulate either Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8. Running in this mode helps to avoid many of the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of Internet Explorer.
-
-Many customers identify web app compatibility as a significant cost to upgrading because web apps need to be tested and upgraded before adopting a new browser. The improved compatibility provided by Enterprise Mode can help give customers the confidence to upgrade to IE11, letting customers benefit from modern web standards, increased performance, improved security, and better reliability.

-After you create your Enterprise Mode site list in the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, you can export the contents to an Enterprise Mode (.EMIE) file. This file includes all of your URLs, including your compatibility mode selections and should be stored somewhere safe. If your list gets deleted by mistake you can easily import this file and return everything back to when this file was last saved.
-
-**Important**
-This file is not intended for distribution to your managed devices. Instead, it is only for transferring data and comments from one manager to another. For example, if one administrator leaves and passes the existing data to another administrator. Internet Explorer doesn’t read this file.
-
- **To export your compatibility list**
-
-1. On the **File** menu of the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, click **Export**.
-
-2. Export the file to your selected location. For example, `C:\Users\
The changes described in this topic only impact sites added to a local Enterprise Mode site list and not the list of sites deployed to all employees by an administrator. Employees can't delete sites added to the list by an administrator.
-
- **To remove single sites from a local Enterprise Mode site list**
-
-1. Open Internet Explorer 11 and go to the site you want to remove.
-
-2. Click **Tools**, and then click **Enterprise Mode**.
If the site is removed by mistake, it can be added back by clicking **Enterprise Mode** again.
-
- **To remove all sites from a local Enterprise Mode site list**
-
-1. Open IE11, click **Tools**, and then click **Internet options**.
-
-2. Click the **Delete** button from the **Browsing history** area.

-# Save your site list to XML in the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-You can save your current Enterprise Mode compatibility site list as an XML file, for distribution and use by your managed systems.
-
- **To save your list as XML**
-
-1. On the **File** menu of the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, click **Save to XML**.
-
-2. Save the file to the location you specified in your Enterprise Mode registry key, set up when you turned on Enterprise Mode for use in your company. For information about the Enterprise Mode registry key, see [Turn on local control and logging for Enterprise Mode](turn-on-local-control-and-logging-for-enterprise-mode.md).
If you decide to manually change the registry key, you can change the **Enable** setting to `[deployment url]/api/records/`, which automatically sends your reports to this page.
-
-### Setting up, collecting, and viewing reports
-For logging, you’re going to need a valid URL that points to a server that can be listened to for updates to a user’s registry key. This means you need to set up an endpoint server for the incoming POST messages, which are sent every time the user turns Enterprise Mode on or off from the **Tools** menu. These POST messages go into your database, aggregating the report data by URL, giving you the total number of reports where users turned on Enterprise Mode, the total number of reports where users turned off Enterprise Mode, and the date of the last report.
-
- **To set up the sample**
-
-1. Set up a server to collect your Enterprise Mode information from your users.
-
-2. Go to the Internet Explorer/[EMIE-Data_Collection_Sample](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=507401) page on GitHub and tap or click the **Download ZIP** button to download the complete project.
-
-3. Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 with Update 2, and then open the PhoneHomeSample.sln file.
-
-4. On the **Build** menu, tap or click **Build Solution**.
- Make sure you have a database associated with your publishing target. Otherwise, your reports won’t be collected and you’ll have problems deploying the website.
-
- 
-
- After you finish the publishing process, you need to test to make sure the app deployed successfully.
-
- **To test, deploy, and use the app**
-
-1. Open a registry editor on the computer where you deployed the app, go to the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode` key, and change the **Enable** string to:
-
- ``` "Enable"="https://
-Turning off both of these features turns off Enterprise Mode for your company. Turning off Enterprise Mode also causes any websites included in your employee’s manual site lists to not appear in Enterprise Mode.
-
- **To turn off the site list using Group Policy**
-
-1. Open your Group Policy editor, like Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
-
-2. Go to the **Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list** setting, and then click **Disabled**.
-The `https://www.emieposturl.com/api/records` example will only work if you’ve downloaded the sample discussed in the [Set up Enterprise Mode logging and data collection](set-up-enterprise-mode-logging-and-data-collection.md) topic. If you don’t have the sample, you won’t have the web API.
-- **Local network location (like, https://*emieposturl*/)**. IE sends a POST message to your specified local network location every time a change is made to Enterprise Mode from the **Tools** menu.
-- **Empty string**. If you leave the **Value data** box blank; your employees will be able to turn Enterprise Mode on and off from the **Tools** menu, but you won’t collect any logging data.
-
-For information about how to collect the data provided when your employees turn Enterprise Mode on or off from the **Tools** menu, see [Set up Enterprise Mode logging and data collection](set-up-enterprise-mode-logging-and-data-collection.md).

-## What is Enterprise Mode?
-Enterprise Mode, a compatibility mode that runs on Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7 devices, lets websites render using a modified browser configuration that’s designed to emulate either Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8. Running in this mode helps to avoid many of the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of Internet Explorer.
-
-Many customers identify web app compatibility as a significant cost to upgrading because web apps need to be tested and upgraded before adopting a new browser. The improved compatibility provided by Enterprise Mode can help give customers confidence to upgrade to IE11, letting customers benefit from modern web standards, increased performance, improved security, and better reliability.

-## Available dual-browser experiences
-Based on the size of your legacy web app dependency, determined by the data collected with [Windows Upgrade Analytics](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2016/09/26/new-windows-10-and-office-365-features-for-the-secure-productive-enterprise/), there are several options from which you can choose to configure your enterprise browsing environment:
-
-- Use Microsoft Edge as your primary browser.
-
-- Use Microsoft Edge as your primary browser and use Enterprise Mode to open sites in Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) that use IE proprietary technologies.
-
-- Use Microsoft Edge as your primary browser and open all intranet sites in IE11.
-
-- Use IE11 as your primary browser and use Enterprise Mode to open sites in Microsoft Edge that use modern web technologies.
-
-For more info about when to use which option, and which option is best for you, see the [Continuing to make it easier for Enterprise customers to upgrade to Internet Explorer 11 — and Windows 10](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/11/23/windows-10-1511-enterprise-improvements) blog.

-If you need to replace your entire site list because of errors, or simply because it’s out of date, you can import your exported Enterprise Mode site list using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Importing your file overwrites everything that’s currently in the tool, so make sure it’s what want to do.
-
-1. In the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, click **File \> Import**.
-
-2. Go to the exported .EMIE file.
ActiveX control installation requires administrator-level permissions.
-
-## Group Policy for the ActiveX Installer Service
-
-You use the ActiveX Installer Service (AXIS) and Group Policy to manage your ActiveX control deployment. The AXIS-related settings can be changed using either the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) or the Local Group Policy Editor, and include:
-
-- **Approved Installation Sites for ActiveX Controls.** A list of approved installation sites used by AXIS to determine whether it can install a particular ActiveX control.
-
-- **ActiveX installation policy for sites in trusted zones.** Identifies how AXIS should behave when a website tries to install an ActiveX control. First, AXIS looks to see if the site appears in either the list of approved installation sites or in the **Trusted sites** zone. If the does, then AXIS checks to make sure the control meets your company's policy requirements. If the ActiveX control meets all of these requirements, the control is installed.
-
-For more information about the ActiveX Installer Service, see [Administering the ActiveX Installer Service in Windows 7](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-7/dd631688(v=ws.10)).

-# Add employees to the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-After you get the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal up and running, you must add your employees. During this process, you'll also assign roles and groups.
-
-The available roles are:
-
-- **Requester.** The primary role to assign to employees that need to access the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal. The Requester can create change requests, validate changes in the pre-production environment, rollback pre-production and production changes in case of failure, send personal approval requests, view personal change requests, and sign off and close personal change requests.
-
-- **App Manager.** This role is considered part of the Approvers group. The App Manager can approve change requests, validate changes in the pre-production environment, rollback pre-production and production changes in case of failure, send personal approval requests, view personal requests, and sign off and close personal requests.
-
-- **Group Head.** This role is considered part of the Approvers group. The Group Head can approve change requests, validate changes in the pre-production environment, rollback pre-production and production changes in case of failure, send personal approval requests, view personal requests, and sign off and close personal requests.
-
-- **Administrator.** The role with the highest-level rights; we recommend limiting the number of employees you grant this role. The Administrator can perform any task that can be performed by the other roles, in addition to adding employees to the portal, assigning employee roles, approving registrations to the portal, configuring portal settings (for example, determining the freeze schedule, determining the pre-production and production XML paths, and determining the attachment upload location), and using the standalone Enterprise Mode Site List Manager page.

-
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-
-You can add multiple sites to your Enterprise Mode site list by creating a custom text (TXT) or Extensible Markup Language (XML) file of problematic sites and then adding it in the **Bulk add from file** area of the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager. You can only add specific URLs, not Internet or Intranet Zones.
-
-If you want to add your websites one at a time, see Add sites to the [Enterprise Mode site list using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)](add-single-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-1-enterprise-mode-tool.md).
-
-## Create an Enterprise Mode site list (TXT) file
-You can create and use a custom text file to add multiple sites to your Enterprise Mode site list at the same time.
This text file is only lets you add multiple sites at the same time. You can’t use this file to deploy Enterprise Mode into your company.
-
-You must separate each site using commas or carriage returns. For example:
-
-```
-microsoft.com, bing.com, bing.com/images
-```
-**-OR-**
-
-```
-microsoft.com
-bing.com
-bing.com/images
-```
-
-## Create an Enterprise Mode site list (XML) file using the v.1 version of the Enterprise Mode schema
-You can create and use a custom XML file with the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to add multiple sites to your Enterprise Mode site list at the same time. For more info about the v.1 version of the Enterprise Mode schema, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-1-guidance.md).
-
-Each XML file must include:
-
-- **Version number.** This number must be incremented with each version of the Enterprise Mode site list, letting Internet Explorer know whether the list is new. Approximately 65 seconds after Internet Explorer 11 starts, it compares your site list version to the stored version number. If your file has a higher number, the newer version is loaded.
After this check, IE11 won’t look for an updated list again until you restart the browser.
-
-- **<emie> tag.** This tag specifies the domains and domain paths that must be rendered using IE7 Enterprise Mode, IE8 Enterprise Mode, or the default IE11 browser environment.
If you decide a site requires IE7 Enterprise Mode, you must add `forceCompatView=”true”` to your XML file. That code tells Enterprise Mode to check for a `DOCTYPE` tag on the specified webpage. If there is, the site renders using Windows Internet Explorer 7. If there’s no tag, the site renders using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.
-
-- <docMode> tag.This tag specifies the domains and domain paths that need either to appear using the specific doc mode you assigned to the site. Enterprise Mode takes precedence over document modes, so sites that are already included in the Enterprise Mode site list won’t be affected by this update and will continue to load in Enterprise Mode, as usual. For more specific info about using document modes, see [Fix web compatibility issues using document modes and the Enterprise Mode site list](fix-compat-issues-with-doc-modes-and-enterprise-mode-site-list.md).
-
-### Enterprise Mode v.1 XML schema example
-The following is an example of what your XML file should look like when you’re done adding your sites. For more info about how to create your XML file, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-1-guidance.md).
-
-```
-
If `CurrentVersion` is not set or is wrong, it means that the XML parsing failed. This can mean that the XML file isn’t there, that there are access problems, or that the XML file format is wrong. Don’t manually change the `CurrentVersion` registry setting. You must make your changes to your site list and then update the list using the import function in the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (.
-
-## Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)
-After you create your .xml or .txt file, you can bulk add the sites to the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1).
-
- **To add multiple sites**
-
-1. In the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1), click **Bulk add from file**.
-
-2. Go to your site list (either .txt or .xml) to add the included sites to the tool, and then click **Open**.
This text file is only lets you add multiple sites at the same time. You can’t use this file to deploy Enterprise Mode into your company.
-
-You must separate each site using commas or carriage returns. For example:
-
-```
-microsoft.com, bing.com, bing.com/images
-```
-**-OR-**
-
-```
-microsoft.com
-bing.com
-bing.com/images
-```
-
-## Create an Enterprise Mode site list (XML) file using the v.2 version of the Enterprise Mode schema
-
-You can create and use a custom XML file with the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) to add multiple sites to your Enterprise Mode site list at the same time.
-
-Each XML file must include:
-
-- **site-list version number**. This number must be incremented with each version of the Enterprise Mode site list, letting Internet Explorer know whether the list is new. Approximately 65 seconds after Internet Explorer 11 starts, it compares your site list version to the stored version number. If your file has a higher number, the newer version is loaded.
After this check, IE11 won’t look for an updated list again until you restart the browser.
-
-- **<compat-mode> tag.** This tag specifies what compatibility setting are used for specific sites or domains.
-
-- **<open-in> tag.** This tag specifies what browser opens for each sites or domain.
-
-### Enterprise Mode v.2 XML schema example
-
-The following is an example of what your XML file should look like when you’re done adding your sites. For more info about how to create your XML file, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.2 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-2-guidance.md).
-
-```xml
-
If `CurrentVersion` is not set or is wrong, it means that the XML parsing failed. This can mean that the XML file isn’t there, that there are access problems, or that the XML file format is wrong. Don’t manually change the `CurrentVersion` registry setting. You must make your changes to your site list and then update the list using the import function in the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2).

-## Administrative Templates-related Group Policy settings
-When you install Internet Explorer 11, it updates the local administrative files, Inetres.admx and Inetres.adml, both located in the **PolicyDefinitions** folder.
-
You won't see the new policy settings if you try to view or edit your policy settings on a computer that isn't running IE11. To fix this, you can either install IE11, or you can copy the updated Inetres.admx and Inetres.adml files from another computer to the PolicyDefinitions folder on this computer.
-
-IE11 provides these new policy settings, which are editable in the Local Group Policy Editor, and appear in the following policy paths:
-
-- Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\
-
-- User Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\
-
-
-|Catalog |Description |
-| ------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------|
-|IE |Turns standard IE configuration on and off. |
-|Internet Explorer\Accelerators |Sets up and manages Accelerators. |
-|Internet Explorer\Administrator Approved Controls |Turns ActiveX controls on and off. |
-|Internet Explorer\Application Compatibility |Turns the **Cut**, **Copy**, or **Paste** operations on or off. This setting also requires that `URLACTION_SCRIPT_PASTE` is set to **Prompt**. |

-## Editing Group Policy settings
-Regardless which tool you're using to edit your Group Policy settings, you'll need to follow one of these guides for step-by-step editing instructions:
-
-- **If you're using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) or the Local Group Policy Editor.** See [Edit Administrative Template Policy Settings](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc771479(v=ws.11)) for step-by-step instructions about editing your Administrative Templates.
-
-- **If you're using GPMC with Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM).** See [Checklist: Create, Edit, and Deploy a GPO](/microsoft-desktop-optimization-pack/agpm/checklist-create-edit-and-deploy-a-gpo-agpm40) for step-by-step instructions about how to check out a GPO from the AGPM archive, edit it, and request deployment.

-You might experience some problems using automatic configuration and auto-proxy with Internet Explorer 11.
-
-## Branding changes aren't distributed using automatic configuration
-If you've turned on the **Disable external branding of Internet Explorer** Group Policy Object, you won't be able to use automatic configuration to distribute your branding changes to your users' computers. When this object is turned on, it prevents the branding of IE by a non-Microsoft company or entity, such as an Internet service provider or Internet content provider. For more information about automatic configuration, see [Auto configuration settings for Internet Explorer 11](auto-configuration-settings-for-ie11.md) and [Use the Automatic Configuration page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](../ie11-ieak/auto-config-ieak11-wizard.md). For more information about Group Policy settings, see [Group policy objects and Internet Explorer 11 (IE11)](group-policy-objects-and-ie11.md).

-## Proxy server setup issues
-If you experience issues while setting up your proxy server, you can try these troubleshooting steps:
-
-- Check to make sure the proxy server address is right.
-
-- Check that both **Automatically detect settings** and **Automatic configuration** are turned on in the browser.
-
-- Check that the browser is pointing to the right automatic configuration script location.
-
- **To check your proxy server address**
-
-1. On the **Tools** menu, click **Internet Options**, and then **Connections**.
-
-2. Click **Settings** or **LAN Settings**, and then look at your proxy server address.
-
-3. If you have multiple proxy servers, click **Advanced** to look at all of the additional addresses.
If IE11 uses a proxy server for local IP addresses, regardless whether you turned on the **Bypass Proxy Server for Local Addresses** option, see [Internet Explorer Uses Proxy Server for Local IP Address Even if the "Bypass Proxy Server for Local Addresses" Option Is Turned On](/troubleshoot/browsers/internet-explorer-uses-proxy-server-local-ip-address).
-
- **To check that you've turned on the correct settings**
-
-4. On the **Tools** menu, click **Internet Options**, and then click **Connections**.
-
-5. Click **Settings** or **LAN Settings**.
-
-6. In the **Automatic configuration** area, check that you've clicked the **Automatically detect settings** box. If you've turned on automatic configuration, check to make sure that you've also clicked the **Use automatic configuration script** box.
If at this point everything is set up correctly, but the proxy server still isn't behaving properly, click the **Detect my network settings** box in the **Error** dialog box to try to detect the proxy server, again.
-
- **To check that you're pointing to the correct automatic configuration script location**
-
-7. On the **Tools** menu, click **Internet Options**, and then click **Connections**.
-
-8. Click **Settings** or **LAN Settings**.
-
-9. In the **Automatic configuration** area, check that you've chosen the **Use automatic configuration script** box, and that it has the correct location to your automatic configuration script or for your automatic proxy URL.

-Automatic configuration lets you apply custom branding and graphics to your internal Internet Explorer installations, running on Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2. For more information about adding custom branding and graphics to your IE package, see [Customize the toolbar button and Favorites List icons using IEAK 11](../ie11-ieak/guidelines-toolbar-and-favorites-list-ieak11.md).
You'll only see and be able to use the **IE Customization Wizard 11 - Automatic Configuration** page if you're creating an internal IE installation package. For more information about the **IE Customization Wizard 11 - Automatic Configuration** page, see [Use the Automatic Configuration page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](../ie11-ieak/auto-config-ieak11-wizard.md).
-
-## Adding the automatic configuration registry key
-For custom graphics and branding, add the `FEATURE\AUTOCONFIG\BRANDING` registry key to your IE installation package.
Follow these directions carefully because serious problems can occur if you update your registry incorrectly. For added protection, back up your registry so you can restore it if a problem occurs.
-
- **To add the registry key**
-
-1. On the **Start** screen, type **regedit**, and then click **Regedit.exe**.
-
-2. Right-click the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl` subkey, point to **New**, and then click **Key**.
-
-3. Enter the new key name, `FEATURE\AUTOCONFIG\BRANDING`, and then press Enter.
-
-4. Right-click `FEATURE\AUTOCONFIG\BRANDING`, point to **New**, and then click **DWORD (32-bit) Value**.
-
-5. Enter the new DWORD value name, **iexplore.exe**, and then press Enter.
-
-6. Right-click **iexplore.exe**, and then click **Modify**.
-
-7. In the **Value data** box, enter **1**, and then click **OK**.
-
-8. Exit the registry editor.
-
-## Updating your automatic configuration settings
-After adding the `FEATURE\AUTOCONFIG\BRANDING` registry key, you can change your automatic configuration settings to pick up the updated branding.
-
Your branding changes won't be added or updated if you've previously chosen the Disable external branding of IE setting in the User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer
Group Policy object. This setting is intended to prevent branding by a third-party, like an Internet service or content provider. For more information about Group Policy, including videos and the latest technical documentation, see the Group Policy TechCenter.
-
- **To update your settings**
-
-1. Open the IE Customization Wizard 11, and go to the **Automatic Configuration** page.
-
-2. Choose the **Automatically detect configuration settings** check box to allow automatic detection of browser settings.
-
-3. Choose the **Enable Automatic Configuration** box to let you change the rest of the configuration options, including:
-
- - **Automatically configure every box:** Type how often IE should check for configuration updates. Typing **0** (zero), or not putting in any number, means that automatic configuration only happens when the computer restarts.
-
- - **Automatic Configuration URL (.INS file) box:** Type the location of your automatic configuration script.
-
- - **Automatic proxy URL (.JS, .JVS, or .PAC file) box:** Type the location of your automatic proxy script.
Internet Explorer 11 no longer supports using file server locations with your proxy configuration (.pac) files. To keep using your .pac files, you have to keep them on a web server and reference them using a URL, like `https://share/test.ins`.
-
-If your branding changes aren't correctly deployed after running through this process, see [Auto configuration and auto proxy problems with Internet Explorer 11](auto-configuration-and-auto-proxy-problems-with-ie11.md).
-
-## Locking your automatic configuration settings
-You have two options to restrict your users' ability to override the automatic configuration settings, based on your environment.
-
-- **Using Microsoft Active Directory.** Choose **Disable changing Automatic Configuration settings** from the Administrative Templates setting.
-
-- **Not Using Active Directory.** Choose the **Disable changing Automatic Configuration settings** setting in the `User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer` Group Policy object.

-
-After you specify the specific settings related to automatic detection on your Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) servers, you can set up your users' browser settings from a central location.
-
-Automatic detection works even if the browser wasn't originally set up or installed by the administrator.
-
-- **Using DHCP servers:** For local area network (LAN)-based users. This server type lets you specify your global and subnet TCP/IP parameters centrally, defining your users' parameters by using reserved addresses. By doing it this way, a computer can move between subnets, automatically reconfiguring for TCP/IP when it starts.
-
-- **Using DNS servers:** For users on dial-up connections. This server type uses a set of protocols and services on a TCP/IP network, which lets users search for other computers by using hierarchical, user-friendly names (hosts), instead of numeric IP addresses.
DHCP has a higher priority than DNS for automatic configuration. If DHCP provides the URL to a .pac, .jvs, .js, or .ins configuration file, the process stops and the DNS lookup doesn't happen.
-
-## Updating your automatic detection settings
-To use automatic detection, you have to set up your DHCP and DNS servers.
Your DHCP servers must support the `DHCPINFORM` message, to obtain the DHCP options.
-
- **To turn on automatic detection for DHCP servers**
-
-1. Open the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11, and go to the **Automatic Configuration** page.
-
-2. Choose the **Automatically detect configuration settings** box to automatically detect your browser settings. For more information about the **Automatic Configuration** page, see [Use the Automatic Configuration page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](../ie11-ieak/auto-config-ieak11-wizard.md).
-
-3. Open the [DHCP Administrative Tool](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/dd145324(v=ws.10)), create a new option type, using the code number 252, and then associate it with the URL to your configuration file. For detailed instructions about how to do this, see [Create an option 252 entry in DHCP](/previous-versions/tn-archive/bb794881(v=technet.10)).
-
- **To turn on automatic detection for DNS servers**
-
-4. Open the IE Customization Wizard 11, and go to the **Automatic Configuration** page.
-
-5. Choose the **Automatically detect configuration settings** box to automatically detect your browser settings.
-
-6. In your DNS database file, create a host record named, **WPAD**. This record has the IP address of the web server storing your automatic configuration (.js, .jvs, .pac, or .ins) file.
For more information about creating a **WPAD** entry, see [Creating a WPAD entry in DNS](/previous-versions/tn-archive/cc995062(v=technet.10)).
-
-7. After the database file propagates to the server, the DNS name, `wpad.
Internet Explorer 11 creates a default URL template based on the host name, **wpad**. For example, `https://wpad.
IE11 no longer supports using file server locations with your proxy configuration (.pac) files. To keep using your .pac files, you have to keep them on a web server and reference them using a URL, like `https://share/test.ins`.
-
-## Locking your auto-proxy settings
-You have two options to restrict your users' ability to override the automatic configuration settings, based on your environment.

-
-
-ActiveX controls are small apps that let websites provide content, like videos and games, and let you interact with content, like toolbars. Unfortunately, because many ActiveX controls aren't automatically updated, they can become outdated as new versions are released. It's very important that you keep your ActiveX controls up to date because malicious software (or malware) can target security flaws in outdated controls, damaging your computer by collecting info from it, installing unwanted software, or by letting someone else control it remotely. To help avoid this situation, Internet Explorer includes a security feature called _out-of-date ActiveX control blocking_.
-
-We'll periodically update this page with new ActiveX controls blocked by this feature. We'll typically provide one month's advance notice before adding new controls to the list.
-
-You will receive a notification if a webpage tries to load one of the following of ActiveX control versions:
-
-**Java**
-
-| Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.4, everything below (but not including) update 43 |
-|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| J2SE 5.0, everything below (but not including) update 99 |

-# Browser cache changes and roaming profiles
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-We’ve redesigned the browser cache to improve the performance, flexibility, reliability, and scalability of Internet Explorer and the apps that rely on the Windows Internet (WinINet) cache. Our new database design stops multiple clients from simultaneously accessing and using cached information, while also providing a higher level of data integrity.
-
-You won’t notice any changes to the management of your roaming profile data if you use our new database implementation in conjunction with the [roaming user profile guidelines](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/jj649079(v=ws.11)). This means that IE data that’s stored in the `AppData\Roaming` user profile folder is still be uploaded to your normal profile storage location after a user successfully logs off.
Cookies in a roaming profile can only be set by Internet Explorer for the desktop, with Enhanced Protected Mode turned off. Cookies set by the immersive version of IE or by Microsoft Store apps, can’t be part of a roaming profile. For more information about persistent cookies and roaming, see [Persistent cookies are not roamed in Internet Explorer](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=401545).
-
-To get the best results while using roaming profiles, we strongly recommend the following:
-
-- Create a separate roaming repository for each domain account that uses roaming.
-
-- Restrict roaming user profiles so they work on only one computer at a time. Using a single roaming profile on multiple computers isn’t supported (via console or Remote Desktop) and can cause unpredictable results, including cookie loss.
-
-- Allow all computers that let users sign-on with a roaming profile have identical IE cookie policies and settings.
-
-- Make sure to delete the user’s local roaming profile at sign off for any computer using user profile roaming. You can do this by turning on the **Delete cached copies of roaming profiles** Group Policy Object.

-
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-You can have centralized control over Enterprise Mode by creating a single, global XML site list that includes the list of websites to render using Enterprise Mode. You can add and remove sites from your XML list as frequently as you want, changing which sites should render in Enterprise Mode for your employees. For information about turning on Enterprise Mode and using site lists, see [Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list](turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list.md).
-
-The information in this topic only covers HTTPS protocol. We strongly recommend that you use HTTPS protocol instead of file protocol due to increased performance.
-
-**How Internet Explorer 11 looks for an updated site list**
-
-1. Internet Explorer starts up and looks for an updated site list in the following places:
-
- 1. **In the cache container.** IE first checks the cache container to see if it finds your XML site list.
-
- 2. **In the local cache.** If there’s nothing in the cache container, IE checks your local cache for the site list.
-
- 3. **On the server.** Based on standard IE caching rules, IE might look for a copy of your site list in the location you put specified in the **SiteList** value of the registry.
-
-2. If there’s an .xml file in the cache container, IE waits 65 seconds and then checks the local cache for a newer version of the file from the server, based on standard caching rules. If the server file has a different version number than the version in the cache container, the server file is used and stored in the cache container.
If you’re already using a site list, enterprise mode continues to work during the 65 second wait; it just uses your existing site list instead of your new one.

-
-Before you install Internet Explorer 11, you should:
-
-- **Migrate Group Policy Objects.** Decide if your Group Policy Objects should migrate to the new version.
-
-- **Check vendor support for updated functionality.** Check whether third-party vendors have new versions or updates to necessary add-ons, apps, or code libraries.
-
-- **Choose the right version of Internet Explorer.** IE11 comes pre-installed on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 or you can download it for Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) from the [Internet Explorer Downloads](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=214251) site.
-
-- **Choose how you'll deploy your installation package.** Your deployment method should be based on whether you're installing to computers already running Windows, or if you're deploying IE11 as part of a Windows installation.
-
- - **Existing computers running Windows.** Use Configuration Manager, System Center Essentials 2010, Windows Server Updates Services (WSUS), or Microsoft Intune to deploy IE11. For more information about how to use these systems, see [Configuration Manager](/previous-versions/system-center/system-center-2012-R2/gg682129(v=technet.10)), [System Center Essentials 2010](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=395200), [Windows Server Update Services](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/hh852345(v=ws.11)), and [Microsoft Intune Overview](https://www.microsoft.com/cloud-platform/microsoft-intune).
-
- - **As part of a Windows deployment.** Update your Windows images to include IE11, and then add the update to your MDT deployment share or to your Windows image. For instructions about how to create and use Windows images, see [Create and Manage a Windows Image Using DISM](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-8.1-and-8/hh825251(v=win.10)). For general information about deploying IE, see [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)](/mem/configmgr/mdt/), [Windows ADK Overview](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-8.1-and-8/hh825486(v=win.10)).

-# Collect data using Enterprise Site Discovery
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-Use Internet Explorer to collect data on computers running Windows Internet Explorer 8 through Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 7. This inventory information helps you build a list of websites used by your company so you can make more informed decisions about your IE deployments, including figuring out which sites might be at risk or require overhauls during future upgrades.
-
->**Upgrade Readiness and Windows upgrades**
->You can use Upgrade Readiness to help manage your Windows 10 upgrades on devices running Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 (SP1). You can also use Upgrade Readiness to review several site discovery reports. For more information, see [Manage Windows upgrades with Upgrade Readiness](/windows/deployment/upgrade/manage-windows-upgrades-with-upgrade-readiness).
-
-
-## Before you begin
-Before you start, you need to make sure you have the following:
-
-- Latest cumulative security update (for all supported versions of Internet Explorer):
-
- 1. Go to the [Microsoft Security Bulletin](/security-updates/) page, and change the filter to **Windows Internet Explorer 11**.
-
- 
-
- 2. Click the title of the latest cumulative security update, and then scroll down to the **Affected software** table.
-
- 
-
- 3. Click the link that represents both your operating system version and Internet Explorer 11, and then follow the instructions in the **How to get this update** section.
-
-- [Setup and configuration package](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=517719), including:
-
- - Configuration-related PowerShell scripts
-
- - IETelemetry.mof file
-
- - Sample System Center 2012 report templates
-
- You must use System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager or later for these samples to work.
-
-Both the PowerShell script and the Managed Object Format (.MOF) file need to be copied to the same location on the client device, before you run the scripts.
-
-## What data is collected?
-Data is collected on the configuration characteristics of IE and the sites it browses, as shown here.
-
-|Data point |IE11 |IE10 |IE9 |IE8 |Description |
-|------------------------|-----|-----|-----|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-|URL | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |URL of the browsed site, including any parameters included in the URL. |
-|Domain | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |Top-level domain of the browsed site. |
-|ActiveX GUID | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |GUID of the ActiveX controls loaded by the site. |
-|Document mode | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |Document mode used by IE for a site, based on page characteristics. |
-|Document mode reason | ✔️ | ✔️ | | |The reason why a document mode was set by IE. |

-
-
->**Important**
By default, IE doesn’t collect this data; you have to turn this feature on if you want to use it. After you turn on this feature, data is collected on all sites visited by IE, except during InPrivate sessions. Additionally, the data collection process is silent, so there’s no notification to the employee. Therefore, you must get consent from the employee before you start collecting info. You must also make sure that using this feature complies with all applicable local laws and regulatory requirements.
-
-### Understanding the returned reason codes
-The following tables provide more info about the Document mode reason, Browser state reason, and the Zone codes that are returned as part of your data collection.
-
-#### DocMode reason
-The codes in this table can tell you what document mode was set by IE for a webpage.
These codes only apply to Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11.
-
-|Code |Description |
-|-----|------------|
-|3 |Page state is set by the `FEATURE_DOCUMENT_COMPATIBLE_MODE` feature control key.|
-|4 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible meta tag. |
-|5 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible HTTP header. |
-|6 |Page appears on an active **Compatibility View** list. |
-|7 |Page is using native XML parsing. |
-|8 |Page is using a special Quirks Mode Emulation (QME) mode that uses the modern layout engine, but the quirks behavior of Internet Explorer 5. |
-|9 |Page state is set by the browser mode and the page's DOCTYPE.|
-
-#### Browser state reason
-The codes in this table can tell you why the browser is in its current state. Also called “browser mode”.
These codes only apply to Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11.
-
-|Code |Description |
-|-----|------------|
-|1 |Site is on the intranet, with the **Display intranet sites in Compatibility View** box checked. |
-|2 |Site appears on an active **Compatibility View** list, created in Group Policy. |
-|3 |Site appears on an active **Compatibility View** list, created by the user. |
-|4 |Page is using an X-UA-compatible tag. |
-|5 |Page state is set by the **Developer** toolbar. |
-|6 |Page state is set by the `FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION` feature control key. |
-|7 |Site appears on the Microsoft **Compatibility View (CV)** list. |
-|8 |Site appears on the **Quirks** list, created in Group Policy. |
-|11 |Site is using the default browser. |
-
-#### Zone
-The codes in this table can tell you what zone is being used by IE to browse sites, based on browser settings.
These codes apply to Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 10, and Internet Explorer 11.
-
-|Code |Description |
-|-----|------------|
-|-1 |Internet Explorer is using an invalid zone. |
-|0 |Internet Explorer is using the Local machine zone. |
-|1 |Internet Explorer is using the Local intranet zone. |
-|2 |Internet Explorer is using the Trusted sites zone. |
-|3 |Internet Explorer is using the Internet zone. |
-|4 |Internet Explorer is using the Restricted sites zone. |
-
-## Where is the data stored and how do I collect it?
-The data is stored locally, in an industry-standard WMI class, .MOF file or in an XML file, depending on your configuration. This file remains on the client computer until it’s collected. To collect the files, we recommend:
-
-- **WMI file**. Use Microsoft Configuration Manager or any agent that can read the contents of a WMI class on your computer.
-
-- **XML file**. Any agent that works with XML can be used.
-
-## WMI Site Discovery suggestions
-We recommend that you collect your data for at most a month at a time, to capture a user’s typical workflow. We don’t recommend collecting data longer than that because the data is stored in a WMI provider and can fill up your computer’s hard drive. You may also want to collect data only for pilot users or a representative sample of people, instead of turning this feature on for everyone in your company.
-
-On average, a website generates about 250bytes of data for each visit, causing only a minor impact to Internet Explorer’s performance. Over the course of a month, collecting data from 20 sites per day from 1,000 users, you’ll get about 150MB of data:
The data collection process is silent, so there’s no notification to the employee. Therefore, you must get consent from the employee before you start collecting info. You must also make sure that using this feature complies with all applicable local laws and regulatory requirements.
-
-## Getting ready to use Enterprise Site Discovery
-Before you can start to collect your data, you must run the provided PowerShell script (IETelemetrySetUp.ps1) on your client devices to start generating the site discovery data and to set up a place to store this data locally. Then, you must start collecting the site discovery data from the client devices, using one of these three options:
-
-- Collect your hardware inventory using the MOF Editor, while connecting to a client device.
You must run this script if you’re using WMI as your data output. It's not necessary if you're using XML as your data output.
-
-**To set up Enterprise Site Discovery**
-
-- Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 by by-passing the PowerShell execution policy, using this command: `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass .\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1`. For more info, see [about Execution Policies](/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_execution_policies).
-
-### WMI only: Set up your firewall for WMI data
-If you choose to use WMI as your data output, you need to make sure that your WMI data can travel through your firewall for the domain. If you’re sure, you can skip this section; otherwise, follow these steps:
-
-**To set up your firewall**
-
-1. In **Control Panel**, click **System and Security**, and then click **Windows Firewall**.
-
-2. In the left pane, click **Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall** and scroll down to check the box for **Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)**.
-
-3. Restart your computer to start collecting your WMI data.
-
-## Use PowerShell to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery
-You can determine which zones or domains are used for data collection, using PowerShell. If you don’t want to use PowerShell, you can do this using Group Policy. For more info, see [Use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery](#use-group-policy-to-finish-setting-up-enterprise-site-discovery).
-
->**Important**
The .ps1 file updates turn on Enterprise Site Discovery and WMI collection for all users on a device.
-
-- **Domain allow list.** If you have a domain allow list, a comma-separated list of domains that should have this feature turned on, you should use this process.
-
-- **Zone allow list.** If you have a zone allow list, a comma-separated list of zones that should have this feature turned on, you should use this process.
-
-**To set up data collection using a domain allow list**
-
-- Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1, using this command: `.\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 [other args] -SiteAllowList sharepoint.com,outlook.com,onedrive.com`.
-
- >**Important**
Wildcards, like \*.microsoft.com, aren’t supported.
-
-**To set up data collection using a zone allow list**
-
-- Start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run IETelemetrySetUp.ps1, using this command: `.\IETelemetrySetUp.ps1 [other args] -ZoneAllowList Computer,Intranet,TrustedSites,Internet,RestrictedSites`.
-
- >**Important**
Only Computer, Intranet, TrustedSites, Internet, and RestrictedSites are supported.
-
-## Use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery
-You can use Group Policy to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery. If you don’t want to use Group Policy, you can do this using PowerShell. For more info, see [Use Powershell to finish setting up Enterprise Site Discovery](#use-powershell-to-finish-setting-up-enterprise-site-discovery).
-
->**Note**
All of the Group Policy settings can be used individually or as a group.
-
- **To set up Enterprise Site Discovery using Group Policy**
-
-- Open your Group Policy editor, and go to these new settings:
-
- |Setting name and location |Description |Options |
- |---------------------------|-------------|---------|
- |Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Turn on Site Discovery WMI output |Writes collected data to a WMI class, which can be aggregated using a client-management solution like Configuration Manager. |

-Employees assigned to the Requester role can create a change request. A change request is used to tell the Approvers and the Administrator that a website needs to be added or removed from the Enterprise Mode Site List. The employee can navigate to each stage of the process by using the workflow links provided at the top of each page of the portal.
-
-> [!Important]
-> Each Requester must have access to a test machine with Administrator rights, letting him or her get to the pre-production environment to make sure that the requested change is correct.
-
-**To create a new change request**
-1. The Requester (an employee that has been assigned the Requester role) signs into the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal, and clicks **Create new request**.
-
- The **Create new request** page appears.
-
-2. Fill out the required fields, based on the group and the app, including:
-
- - **Group name.** Select the name of your group from the dropdown box.
-
- - **App name.** Type the name of the app you want to add, delete, or update in the Enterprise Mode Site List.
-
- - **Search all apps.** If you can't remember the name of your app, you can click **Search all apps** and search the list.
-
- - **Add new app.** If your app isn't listed, you can click **Add new app** to add it to the list.
-
- - **Requested by.** Automatically filled in with your name.
-
- - **Description.** Add descriptive info about the app.
-
- - **Requested change.** Select whether you want to **Add to EMIE**, **Delete from EMIE**, or **Update to EMIE**.
-
- - **Reason for request.** Select the best reason for why you want to update, delete, or add the app.
-
- - **Business impact (optional).** An optional area where you can provide info about the business impact of this app and the change.
-
- - **App location (URL).** The full URL location to the app, starting with https:// or https://.
-
- - **App best viewed in.** Select the best browser experience for the app. This can be Internet Explorer 5 through Internet Explorer 11 or one of the IE7Enterprise or IE8Enterprise modes.
-
- - **Is an x-ua tag used?** Select **Yes** or **No** whether an x-ua-compatible tag is used by the app. For more info about x-ua-compatible tags, see the topics in [Defining document compatibility](/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/compatibility/cc288325(v=vs.85)).
-
-4. Click **Save and continue** to save the request and get the app info sent to the pre-production environment site list for testing.
-
- A message appears that the request was successful, including a **Request ID** number, saying that the change is being made to the pre-production environment site list.
-
-5. The Requester gets an email with a batch script, that when run, configures their test machine for the pre-production environment, along with the necessary steps to make sure the changed info is correct.
-
- - **If the change is correct.** The Requester asks the approvers to approve the change request by selecting **Successful** and clicking **Send for approval**.
-
- - **If the change is incorrect.** The Requester can rollback the change in pre-production or ask for help from the Administrator.
-
-## Next steps
-
-After the change request is created, the Requester must make sure the suggested changes work in the pre-production environment. For these steps, see [Verify your changes using the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal](verify-changes-preprod-enterprise-mode-portal.md).

-You'll create multiple versions of your custom browser package if:
-
-- You support more than 1 version of Windows®.
-
-- You support more than 1 language.
-
-- You have custom installation packages with only minor differences. Like, having a different phone number.
-
- **To create a new package**
-
-1. Create an installation package using the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11, as described in the [Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) Customization Wizard options](../ie11-ieak/ieak11-wizard-custom-options.md) topic.
-
-2. Go to your **CIE/Custom** folder and rename the `Install.ins`file. For example, if you need a version for employees in Texas, rename the file to Texas.ins.
-
-3. Run the wizard again, using the Custom folder as the destination directory.
-Except for the **Title bar** text, **Favorites**, **Links bar**, **Home page**, and **Search bar**, keep all of your wizard settings the same for all of your build computers.

-
-You can deploy Internet Explorer 11 to your users' computers by using your custom browser packages and Automatic Version Synchronization (AVS).
-
-## What is Automatic Version Synchronization?
-Automatic Version Synchronization (AVS) lets you use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) to synchronize the IE11 setup files on a local computer with the latest setup files on the web.
-
-You must synchronize the setup files at least once on the local computer, for each language and operating system combination, before proceeding through the rest of the wizard. If your packages have more than one version of IE, you need to keep the versions in separate component download folders, which can be pointed to from the **File Locations** page of the IEAK 11. For more information about using the AVS feature, see [Use the Automatic Version Synchronization page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](../ie11-ieak/auto-version-sync-ieak11-wizard.md)

-If you already manage software distribution and updates on your network through software distribution tools, you can also use these tools for ongoing deployments of Internet Explorer. Software distribution tools include:
-
-- **Configuration Manager** Deploy and install Internet Explorer 11 on your user's computers through a software distribution package. For more information about using this tool, see [Configuration Manager](/previous-versions/system-center/system-center-2012-R2/gg682129(v=technet.10)).
-
-- **Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).** Download a single copy of the IE11 updates, caching them to local servers so your users' computers can receive the updates directly from the WSUS servers, instead of through Windows Update. For more information about using this tool, see [Windows Server Update Services](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/hh852345(v=ws.11)).
-
-- **Group Policy Software Installation.** Deploy and install IE11 on your user's computers through a combination of Group Policy and Microsoft Active Directory. For more information about using this tool, see [Group Policy Software Installation overview](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2003/cc738858(v=ws.10)).
-
-- **Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).** Add the IE11 update to your deployment share, using MDT to update your previously-deployed Windows image. For more information about using this tool, see [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)](/mem/configmgr/mdt/).

-- Windows 7
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-You can pin websites to the Windows 8.1 taskbar for quick access. You pin a website simply by dragging its tab to the taskbar. Some websites can also extend the icon’s Jump List.
-
-The ability to pin websites to the Windows 8.1 taskbar can help make end users in businesses more productive. As an IT professional, for example, you can pin intranet and SharePoint websites to the taskbar to make them immediately available to users. In this article, you learn how to deploy pinned websites by using Lite Touch Installation in the [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2013](/mem/configmgr/mdt/).
-
-## Deploying pinned websites in MDT 2013
-This topic requires that you have a complete MDT 2013 deployment share that contains Windows 8.1 which comes with Internet Explorer 11. If you’re deploying to Windows 7 clients and need to learn how to add IE11 to an MDT 2013 deployment share as an update, see [Installing Internet Explorer 11 using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)](./install-ie11-using-operating-system-deployment-systems.md) in the TechNet library.
-
-Deploying pinned websites in MDT 2013 is a 4-step process:
-
-1. Create a .website file for each website that you want to deploy. When you pin a website to the taskbar, Windows 8.1 creates a .website file that describes how the icon should look and feel.
-
-2. Copy the .website files to your deployment share.
-
-3. Copy the .website files to your target computers.
-
-4. Edit the task sequence of your Unattend.xml answer files to pin the websites to the taskbar. In particular, you want to add each .website file to the **TaskbarLinks** item in Unattend.xml during oobeSystem phase. You can add up to six .website files to the **TaskbarLinks** item.
-
-Pinned websites are immediately available to every user who logs on to the computer although the user must click each icon to populate its Jump List.
-
-**Important**
-To follow the examples in this topic, you’ll need to pin the Bing (https://www.bing.com/) and MSN (https://www.msn.com/) websites to the taskbar.
-
-### Step 1: Creating .website files
-The first step is to create a .website file for each website that you want to pin to the Windows 8.1 taskbar during deployment. A .website file is like a shortcut, except it’s a plain text file that describes not only the website’s URL but also how the icon looks.
-
- **To create each .website file**
-
-1. Open the website in IE11.
-
-2. Drag the website’s tab and drop it on the Windows 8.1 taskbar.
-
-3. Go to `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar` in Windows Explorer, and copy the bing.website and msn.website files to your desktop.
-
-### Step 2: Copying the .website files to the deployment share
-Next, you must enable your deployment share to copy the bing.website and msn.website files to the **Start** menu on each target computer.
-
- **To copy .website files to the deployment share**
-
-1. Open your MDT 2013 deployment share in Windows Explorer.
-
-2. In the `$OEM$` folder, create the path `$1\Users\Public\Public Links`. If the `$OEM$` folder doesn’t exist, create it at the root of your deployment share.
-
-3. Copy the bing.website and msn.website files from your desktop to `$OEM$\$1\Users\Public\Public Links` in your deployment share.
-
-### Step 3: Copying .website files to target computers
-After your operating system is installed on the target computer, you need to copy the .website files over so they can be pinned to the taskbar.
-
- **To copy .website files to target computers**
-
-1. In the **Deployment Workbench** of MDT 2013, open the deployment share containing the task sequence during which you want to deploy pinned websites, and then click **Task Sequences**.
-
-2. In the right pane of the **Deployment Workbench**, right-click your task sequence (create a new one if you don’t have one yet), and click **Properties**.
-
-3. In the **Task Sequence** tab, click the **Postinstall** folder, click **General** from the **Add** button, and then click **Run Command Line**.
-
-4. Rename the newly created item to *Copy Files* and move it up to the top of the **Postinstall** folder.
-
-5. In the **Command Line** box enter the following text, `xcopy "%DEPLOYROOT%\$OEM$\$1" "%OSDisk%\" /yqe`.
-
-6. Click the **Apply** button to save your changes.
-
-### Step 4: Pinning .website files to the Taskbar
-With the .website files ready to copy to the **Public Links** folder on target computers for all users, the last step is to edit the Unattend.xml answer files to pin those .website files to the taskbar. You will need to complete the following steps for each task sequence during which you want to pin these websites to the taskbar.
-
- **To pin .website files to the Taskbar**
-
-1. Open the Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM).
-
-2. On the **OS Info** tab, click **Edit Unattend.xml** to open the Unattend.xml file.
-
-2. In the **Windows Image** pane, under **Components** and then **Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup**, right-click **TaskbarLinks**, and then click **Add Setting to Pass 7 oobeSystem**.
-
-3. In the **TaskbarLinks Properties** pane, add the relative path to the target computer’s (not the deployment share’s) .website files that you created earlier. You can add up to six links to the **TaskbarLinks** item. For example, `%PUBLIC%\Users\Public\Public Links\Bing.website` and `%PUBLIC%\Users\Public\Public Links\MSN.website`
-
-4. On the **File** menu, click **Save Answer File**, and then close Windows SIM.
-
-5. To close the task sequence, click **OK**.
-
-## Updating intranet websites for pinning
-The MDT 2013 deployment share and task sequences are now ready to pin websites to the taskbar during deployment. This pinning feature can include intranet sites important in your organization.
-
-You can make your intranet websites act more like applications by extending them to fully support the Windows 8.1 taskbar. This includes creating custom Jump Lists, thumbnail previews, and notifications. For info about extending your intranet websites, see [Pinned Sites Developer Documentation](/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/samples/gg491731(v=vs.85)) on MSDN. For more ideas about what to pin, see [Add-ons](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=398483) in the Internet Explorer Gallery.

-
-Windows Internet Explorer 8 introduced document modes as a way to move from the proprietary coding of web features to a more standardized type of coding that could run on multiple browsers and devices. Starting with Windows 10, we’re deprecating document modes.
-
-This means that while Internet Explorer 11 will continue to support document modes, Microsoft Edge won’t. And because of that, it also means that if you want to use Microsoft Edge, you’re going to have to update your legacy webpages and apps to support modern features, browsers, and devices.
-
->**Note**
->For specific details about the technologies and APIs that are no longer supported in Microsoft Edge, see [A break from the past, part 2: Saying goodbye to ActiveX, VBScript, attachEvent](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=615953).
-
-## What is document mode?
-Each release after Internet Explorer 8 has helped with the transition by introducing additional document modes that emulated previously supported versions, while also introducing support for features defined by industry standards. During this time, numerous websites and apps were updated to the latest and greatest industry standards, while many other sites and apps continued to simply rely on document modes to work properly.
-
-Because our goal with Microsoft Edge is to give users the best site and app viewing experience possible, we’ve decided to stop support for document modes. All websites and apps using legacy features and code will need to be updated to rely on the new modern standards and practices.
-
-If you have legacy sites and apps that can’t be updated to modern standards, you can continue to use IE11 and document modes. We recommend that you use the **IE11 Standards document mode** because it represents the highest support available for modern standards. You should also use the HTML5 document type declaration to turn on the latest supported standards while using IE11:``.
-
-## Document modes and IE11
-The compatibility improvements made in IE11 lets older websites just work in the latest standards mode, by default, without requiring emulation of the previous browser behavior. Because older websites are now just working, we’ve decided that Internet Explorer 10 document mode will be the last new document mode. Instead, developers will need to move to using the IE11 document mode going forward.

-
-## Known Issues with Internet Explorer 8 document mode in Enterprise Mode
-The default document mode for Enterprise Mode is Internet Explorer 8. While this mode provides a strong emulation of that browser, it isn’t an exact match. For example, Windows Internet Explorer 9 fundamentally changed how document modes work with iframes and document modes can’t undo architectural changes. It’s also a known issue that Windows 10 supports GDI font rendering while using Enterprise Mode, but uses natural metrics once outside of Enterprise Mode.

-You can use Internet Explorer 11 and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to change whether page rendering should use Enterprise Mode or the default Internet Explorer browser configuration. You can also add, remove, or delete associated comments.
-
-If you need to edit a lot of websites, you probably don’t want to do it one at a time. Instead, you can edit your saved XML or TXT file and add the sites back again. For information about how to do this, depending on your operating system and schema version, see [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-2-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md) or [Add multiple sites to the Enterprise Mode site list using a file and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)](add-multiple-sites-to-enterprise-mode-site-list-using-the-version-1-schema-and-enterprise-mode-tool.md).
-
- **To change how your page renders**
-
-1. In the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, double-click the site you want to change.
-
-2. Change the comment or the compatibility mode option.
-
-3. Click **Save** to validate your changes and to add the updated information to your site list.
-If your change passes validation, it’s added to the global site list. If the update doesn’t pass validation, you’ll get an error message explaining the problem. You’ll then be able to either cancel the update or ignore the validation problem and add it to your list anyway. For more information about fixing validation issues, see [Fix validation problems using the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](fix-validation-problems-using-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md).
-
-4. On the **File** menu, click **Save to XML**, and save the updated file.
-You can save the file locally or to a network share. However, you must make sure you deploy it to the location specified in your registry key. For more information about the registry key, see [Turn on Enterprise Mode and use a site list](turn-on-enterprise-mode-and-use-a-site-list.md).

-
-Add-ons let your employees personalize Internet Explorer. You can manage IE add-ons using Group Policy and Group Policy templates.
-
-There are four types of add-ons:
-
-- **Search Providers.** Type a term and see suggestions provided by your search provider.
-
-- **Accelerators.** Highlight text on a web page and then click the blue **Accelerator** icon to email, map, search, translate, or do many other tasks.
-
-- **Web Slices.** Subscribe to parts of a website to get real-time information on the Favorites bar.
-
-- **Toolbars.** Add features (like stock tickers) to your browser.
-
-## Using the Local Group Policy Editor to manage group policy objects
-You can use the Local Group Policy Editor to change how add-ons work in your organization.
-
- **To manage add-ons**
-
-1. In the Local Group Policy Editor, go to `Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer`.
-
-2. Change any or all of these settings to match your company’s policy and requirements.

The Show Contents dialog appears.
-
-6. In **Value Name**, paste the Class ID for your add-on, for example, **{47833539-D0C5-4125-9FA8-0819E2EAAC93}**.
-
-6. In **Value**, enter one of the following:
-
- - **0**. The add-on is disabled and your employees can’t change it.
-
- - **1**. The add-on is enabled and your employees can’t change it.
-
- - **2**. The add-on is enabled and your employees can change it.
-
-7. Close the Show Contents dialog.
-
-7. In the Group Policy editor, go to: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer.
-
-8. Double-click **Automatically activate/enable newly installed add-ons** and select **Enabled**.

-Enhanced Protected Mode further restricts Protected Mode to deny potential attackers access to sensitive or personal information. If this feature is turned on, users might start to see errors asking them to turn it off, like **This webpage wants to run "npctrl.dll. If you trust this site, you can disable Enhanced Protected Mode for this site to run the control**. If your users click the **Disable** box, Enhanced Protected Mode is turned off for only the single visit to that specific site. After the user leaves the site, Enhanced Protected Mode is automatically turned back on.
-
-You can use your company’s Group Policy to turn Enhanced Protected Mode on or off for all users. For more information, see the [Group policy objects and Internet Explorer 11 (IE11)](group-policy-objects-and-ie11.md) information in this guide.
-
-For more information about Enhanced Protected Mode, see the [Enhanced Protected Mode](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=267512) post on IEBlog, and both the [Understanding Enhanced Protected Mode](/archive/blogs/ieinternals/understanding-enhanced-protected-mode) and the [Enhanced Protected Mode and Local Files](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=282663) blog posts on IEInternals.

-# Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-
-Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1) to create and update your Enterprise Mode site list for devices running the v.1 version of the schema, or the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) to create and update your Enterprise Mode site list for devices running the v.2 version of the schema. We strongly recommend moving to the new schema, v.2. For more info, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.2 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-2-guidance.md).
-
-If you don't want to use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, you also have the option to update your XML schema using Notepad, or any other XML-editing app.
-
-## Enterprise Mode schema v.1 example
-The following is an example of the Enterprise Mode schema v.1. This schema can run on devices running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Make sure that you don't specify a protocol when adding your URLs. Using a URL like `
**Example** <rules version="205">
<emie>
<domain>contoso.com</domain>
</emie>
</rules> |Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge |
-|<emie> |The parent node for the Enterprise Mode section of the schema. All <domain> entries will have either IE8 Enterprise Mode or IE7 Enterprise Mode applied.
**Example** <rules version="205">
<emie>
<domain>contoso.com</domain>
</emie>
</rules>
For IPv6 ranges:
<rules version="205">
<emie>
<domain>[10.122.34.99]:8080</domain>
</emie>
</rules>
**or**
For IPv4 ranges:<rules version="205">
<emie>
<domain>[10.122.34.99]:8080</domain>
</emie>
</rules> | Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge |
-|<docMode> |The parent node for the document mode section of the section. All <domain> entries will get IE5 - IE11 document modes applied. If there's a <domain> element in the docMode section that uses the same value as a <domain> element in the emie section, the emie element is applied.
**Example**
<rules version="205">
<docmode>
<domain docMode="7">contoso.com</domain>
</docmode>
</rules> |Internet Explorer 11 |
-|<domain> |A unique entry added for each site you want to put on the Enterprise Mode site list. The first <domain> element will overrule any additional <domain> elements that use the same value for the section. You can use port numbers for this element.
**Example**
<emie>
<domain>contoso.com:8080</domain>
</emie> |Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge |
-|<path> |A unique entry added for each path under a domain you want to put on the Enterprise Mode site list. The <path> element is a child of the <domain> element. Additionally, the first <path> element will overrule any additional <path> elements in the schema section.
**Example**
<emie>
<domain exclude="true">fabrikam.com
<path exclude="false">/products</path>
</domain>
</emie>
Where `https://fabrikam.com` doesn't use IE8 Enterprise Mode, but `https://fabrikam.com/products` does. |Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge |
-
-### Schema attributes
-This table includes the attributes used by the Enterprise Mode schema.
-
-|Attribute|Description|Supported browser|
-|--- |--- |--- |
-|version|Specifies the version of the Enterprise Mode Site List. This attribute is supported for the <rules> element.|Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge|
-|exclude|Specifies the domain or path that is excluded from getting the behavior applied. This attribute is supported on the <domain> and <path> elements.
**Example** <emie>
<domain exclude="false">fabrikam.com
<path exclude="true">/products</path>
</domain>
</emie>
**Example**<docMode>
<domain exclude="false">fabrikam.com
<path docMode="9">/products</path>
</domain>
</docMode>|Internet Explorer 11|
-|doNotTransition| Specifies that the page should load in the current browser, otherwise it will open in IE11. This attribute is supported on all <domain> or <path> elements. If this attribute is absent, it defaults to false.
**Example**<emie>
<domain doNotTransition="false">fabrikam.com
<path doNotTransition="true">/products</path>
</domain>
</emie>
**Example**<emie>
<domain exclude="true">fabrikam.com
<path forcecompatview="true">/products</path>
</domain>
</emie><docMode>
|
<domain docMode="5">contoso.com</domain>
<domain docMode="9">info.contoso.com</domain>
<docMode>
|
-|You can specify exact URLs by listing the full path. |<emie>
|
<domain exclude="false">bing.com</domain>
<domain exclude="false" forceCompatView="true">contoso.com</domain>
<emie>
|
-|You can nest paths underneath domains. |<emie>
|
<domain exclude="true">contoso.com
<path exclude="false">/about</path>
<path exclude="true">
/about/business</path>
</domain>
</emie>
|
-|You can’t add a path underneath a path. The file will still be parsed, but the sub-path will be ignored. |<emie>
|
<domain exclude="true">contoso.com
<path>/about
<path exclude="true">/business</path>
</path>
</domain>
</emie>

-# Enterprise Mode schema v.2 guidance
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-- Windows 8.1
-- Windows 7
-
-Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to create and update your site list for devices running Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10, using the version 2.0 (v.2) of the Enterprise Mode schema. If you don't want to use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, you also have the option to update your XML schema using Notepad, or any other XML-editing app.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> If you're running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 and you've been using the version 1.0 (v.1) of the schema, you can continue to do so, but you won't get the benefits that come with the updated schema. For info about the v.1 schema, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-1-guidance.md).
-
-## Enterprise Mode schema v.2 updates
-Because of the schema changes, you can't combine the old version (v.1) with the new version (v.2) of the schema. If you look at your XML file, you can tell which version you're using by:
-
-- <rules>. If your schema root node includes this key, you're using the v.1 version of the schema.
-
-- <site-list>. If your schema root node includes this key, you're using the v.2 version of the schema.
-
-You can continue to use the v.1 version of the schema on Windows 10, but you won't have the benefits of the new v.2 version schema updates and new features. Additionally, saving the v.1 version of the schema in the new Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) automatically updates the file to use the v.2 version of the schema.
-
-### Enterprise Mode v.2 schema example
-The following is an example of the v.2 version of the Enterprise Mode schema.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Make sure that you don't specify a protocol when adding your URLs. Using a URL like `
**Example**
<site-list version="205">
| Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge |
-|<site> |A unique entry added for each site you want to put on the Enterprise Mode site list. The first <site> element will overrule any additional <site> elements that use the same value for the <url> element.
<site url="contoso.com">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>
</site-list>
**Example** <site url="contoso.com">
<compat-mode>default</compat-mode>
<open-in>none</open-in>
</site>
**or** For IPv4 ranges:
<site url="10.122.34.99:8080">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<site>
**or** For IPv6 ranges:<site url="[10.122.34.99]:8080">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<site>
You can also use the self-closing version, <url="contoso.com" />, which also sets:
**Example**
**or**
<site url="contoso.com">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
</site>
For IPv4 ranges:<site url="10.122.34.99:8080">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<site><site url="[10.122.34.99]:8080">
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<site>
This element is required for sites included in the **EmIE** section of the v.1 schema and is needed to load in IE8 Enterprise Mode.
This element is required for sites included in the **EmIE** section of the v.1 schema and is needed to load in IE7 Enterprise Mode
This tag replaces the combination of the `"forceCompatView"="true"` attribute and the list of sites specified in the EmIE section of the v.1 version of the schema.
**Examples**<site url="contoso.com">
<open-in>none</open-in>
</site>
Where
**Example**<site url="contoso.com/travel">
In this example, if `https://contoso.com/travel` is encountered in a redirect chain in Microsoft Edge, it will be opened in Internet Explorer. | Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge|
-|version |Specifies the version of the Enterprise Mode Site List. This attribute is supported for the <site-list> element. | Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge|
-|url|Specifies the URL (and port number using standard port conventions) to which the child elements apply. The URL can be a domain, sub-domain, or any path URL.
<open-in allow-redirect="true">IE11 </open-in>
</site>
**Note**
Make sure that you don't specify a protocol. Using <site url="contoso.com"> applies to both `http://contoso.com` and `https://contoso.com`.
**Example**<site url="contoso.com:8080">
In this example, going to `https://contoso.com:8080` using Microsoft Edge, causes the site to open in IE11 and load in IE8 Enterprise Mode. | Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge|
-
-### Deprecated attributes
-These v.1 version schema attributes have been deprecated in the v.2 version of the schema:
-
-|Deprecated attribute|New attribute|Replacement example|
-|--- |--- |--- |
-|forceCompatView|<compat-mode>|Replace <forceCompatView="true"> with <compat-mode>IE7Enterprise</compat-mode>|
-|docMode|<compat-mode>|Replace <docMode="IE5"> with <compat-mode>IE5</compat-mode>|
-|doNotTransition|<open-in>|Replace:
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>
<doNotTransition="true"> with <open-in>none</open-in>|
-|<domain> and <path>|<site>|Replace:<emie>
With:
<domain>contoso.com</domain>
</emie><site url="contoso.com"/>
**-AND-**
<compat-mode>IE8Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>
Replace:<emie>
<domain exclude="true" donotTransition="true">contoso.com
<path forceCompatView="true">/about</path>
</domain>
</emie>
With:<site url="contoso.com/about">
<compat-mode>IE7Enterprise</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>|
-
-While the old, replaced attributes aren't supported in the v.2 version of the schema, they'll continue to work in the v.1 version of the schema. If, however, you're using the v.2 version of the schema and these attributes are still there, the v.2 version schema takes precedence. We don’t recommend combining the two schemas, and instead recommend that you move to the v.2 version of the schema to take advantage of the new features.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Saving your v.1 version of the file using the new Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) automatically updates the XML to the new v.2 version of the schema.
-
-### What not to include in your schema
-We recommend that you not add any of the following items to your schema because they can make your compatibility list behave in unexpected ways:
-
-- Don’t use protocols. For example, `http://`, `https://`, or custom protocols. They break parsing.
-- Don’t use wildcards.
-- Don’t use query strings, ampersands break parsing.

-
-After you create your Enterprise Mode site list in the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, you can export the contents to an Enterprise Mode (.EMIE) file. This file includes all of your URLs, including your compatibility mode selections and should be stored somewhere safe. If your list gets deleted by mistake you can easily import this file and return everything back to when this file was last saved.
-
-**Important**
-This file is not intended for distribution to your managed devices. Instead, it is only for transferring data and comments from one manager to another. For example, if one administrator leaves and passes the existing data to another administrator. Internet Explorer doesn’t read this file.
-
- **To export your compatibility list**
-
-1. On the **File** menu of the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, click **Export**.
-
-2. Export the file to your selected location. For example, `C:\Users\

-If that doesn’t work, continue down to the next lowest document mode, stopping as soon as you find a document mode that fixes your problems. For more information about the Emulation tool, see [Emulate browsers, screen sizes, and GPS locations](/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/samples/dn255001(v=vs.85)).
-
-3. If none of the document modes fix your issue, change the **Browser Profile** to **Enterprise**, pick the mode you want to test with starting with **8** (IE8 Enterprise Mode), and then test your broken scenario.
-
-### Add your site to the Enterprise Mode site list
-After you’ve figured out the document mode that fixes your compatibility problems, you can add the site to your Enterprise Mode site list.
-
-**Note**
-There are two versions of the Enterprise Mode site list schema and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, based on your operating system. For more info about the schemas, see [Enterprise Mode schema v.2 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-2-guidance.md) or [Enterprise Mode schema v.1 guidance](enterprise-mode-schema-version-1-guidance.md). For more info about the different site list management tools, see [Use the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](use-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md).
-
- **To add your site to the site list**
-
-1. Open the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager, and click **Add**.
-
- 
-
-2. Add the **URL** and pick the document mode from the **Launch in** box. This should be the same document mode you found fixed your problems while testing the site.
-Similar to Enterprise Mode, you can specify a document mode for a particular web path—such as contoso.com/ERP—or at a domain level. In the above, the entire contoso.com domain loads in Enterprise Mode, while microsoft.com is forced to load into IE8 Document Mode and bing.com loads in IE11.
-
-**Note**
-For more information about Enterprise Mode, see [What is Enterprise Mode?](what-is-enterprise-mode.md) For more information about the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager and how to add sites to your site list, see [Enterprise Mode Site List Manager](use-the-enterprise-mode-site-list-manager.md).
-
-
-### Review your Enterprise Mode site list
-Take a look at your Enterprise Mode site list and make sure everything is the way you want it. The next step will be to turn the list on and start to use it in your company. The Enterprise Mode Site List Manager will look something like:
-
-
-
-And the underlying XML code will look something like:
-
-``` xml
-
-Another possibility is that redirection happens multiple times, with an intermediary site experiencing compatibility issues. For example, an employee types a short URL that then redirects multiple times, finally ending up on a non-intranet site. In this situation, you might want to add the intermediary URLs to your Enterprise Mode site list, in case there’s logic in one of them that has compatibility issues.

-
-Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) is an add-on license that available for the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP). This license gives you change control and a role assignment-model that helps optimize Group Policy management and reduce the risk of widespread failures.
-
-From AGPM you can:
-
-- **Edit GPOs outside of your production environment.** Your GPOs are stored in an outside archive for editing, reviewing, and approving. Then, when you deploy, AGPM moves the GPOs to your production environment.
-
-- **Assign roles to your employees.** You can assign 3 roles to your employees or groups, including:
-
- - **Reviewer.** Can view and compare GPOs in the archive. This role can't edit or deploy GPOs.
-
- - **Editor.** Can view, compare, check-in and out, and edit GPOs in the archive. This role can also request GPO deployment.
-
- - **Approver.** Can approve GPO creation and deployment to the production environment.
-
-- **Manage your GPO lifecycle with change control features.** You can use the available version-control, history, and auditing features to help you manage your GPOs while moving through your archive, to your editing process, and finally to your GPO deployment.
-
-**Note**
-For more information about AGPM, and to get the license, see [Advanced Group Policy Management 4.0 Documents](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=13975).

-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-A Microsoft Management Console (MMC)-based tool that uses scriptable interfaces to manage Group Policy. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions are included with Windows Server R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2012 R2.
-
-## Why use the GPMC?
-The GPMC lets you:
-
-- Import, export, copy, paste, backup and restore GPOs.
-
-- Search for existing GPOs.
-
-- Create reports, including providing the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) data in HTML reports that you can save and print.
-
-- Use simulated RSoP data to prototype your Group Policy before implementing it in the production environment.
-
-- Obtain RSoP data to view your GPO interactions and to troubleshoot your Group Policy deployment.
-
-- Create migration tables to let you import and copy GPOs across domains and across forests. Migration tables are files that map references to users, groups, computers, and Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths in the source GPO to new values in the destination GPO.
-
-- Create scriptable interfaces to support all of the operations available within the GPMC. You can't use scripts to edit individual policy settings in a GPO.
-
-For more information about the GPMC, see [Group Policy Management Console](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc753298(v=ws.11)) on TechNet.
-
-## Searching for Group Policy settings
-To search for Group Policy settings in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), use the [Group Policy Search tool](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=279857). To find the Group Policy settings, click **Windows Components**, and then click **Internet Explorer**.

-# Group Policy management tools
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-Group Policy, based on Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), lets you manage your organization's computer and user settings as part of your Group Policy objects (GPOs), which are added and changed in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). GPOs can include registry-based Administrative Template policy settings, security settings, software deployment information, scripts, folder redirection, and preferences. The most effective way to target a specific GPO is to use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) filters. Like, creating a WMI filter that applies a GPO only to computers with a specific make and model.
-
-By using Group Policy, you can set up a policy setting once, and then copy that setting onto many computers. For example, you can set up multiple Internet Explorer 11 security settings in a GPO that's linked to a domain, and then apply all of those settings to every computer in the domain.
-
-**Note**
-For more information about Group Policy, see the [Group Policy TechCenter](/windows/deployment/deploy-whats-new). This site provides links to the latest technical documentation, videos, and downloads for Group Policy.
-
-## Managing settings with GPOs
-After deploying IE11 to your organization, you can continue to manage the browser settings by using Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) together with the following Group Policy-related setting management groups:
-
-- [Administrative templates and Internet Explorer 11](administrative-templates-and-ie11.md). Used to manage registry-based policies and options.
-
-- [Group policy preferences and Internet Explorer 11](group-policy-preferences-and-ie11.md). Used to set up and manage options that can be changed by the user after installation.
-
-**Note**
-Whenever possible, we recommend that you manage IE11 using Administrative Templates, because these settings are always written to secure policy branches in the registry. In addition, we recommend that you deploy using standard user accounts instead of letting your users log on to their computers as administrators. This helps to prevent your users from making unwanted changes to their systems or overriding Group Policy settings.
-
-
-Users won't be able to use the IE11 user interface or the registry to change any managed settings on their computers. However, they will be able to change many of the preferences associated with the settings you set up using the Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11).
-
-## Which GPO tool should I use?
-You can use any of these tools to create, manage, view, and troubleshoot Group Policy objects (GPOs). For information about each, see:
-
-- [Group Policy, the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), and Internet Explorer 11](group-policy-and-group-policy-mgmt-console-ie11.md). Provides a single location to manage all GPOs, WMI filters, and Group Policy–related permissions across multiple forests in an organization.
-
-- [Group Policy, the Local Group Policy Editor, and Internet Explorer 11](group-policy-and-local-group-policy-editor-ie11.md). Provides a user interface that lets you edit settings within individual GPOs.
-
-- [Group Policy, Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM), and Internet Explorer 11](group-policy-and-advanced-group-policy-mgmt-ie11.md). An add-on license for the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) that helps to extend Group Policy for Software Assurance customers.
-
-- [Group Policy, Windows Powershell, and Internet Explorer 11](group-policy-windows-powershell-ie11.md). A command-line shell and scripting language that helps automate Windows and application administration on a single computer locally, or across many computers remotely.

-# Group Policy, Shortcut Extensions, and Internet Explorer 11
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-Group Policy includes the Shortcuts preference extension, which lets you configure shortcuts to:
-
-- **File system objects.** Traditional shortcuts that link to apps, files, folders, drives, shares, or computers. For example, linking a shortcut to an app from the **Start** screen.
-
-- **URLs.** Shortcuts to webpages or FTP sites. For example, a link to your intranet site from your employee's **Favorites** folder.
-
-- **Shell objects.** Shortcuts to objects that appear in the shell namespace, such as printers, desktop items, Control Panel items, the Recycle Bin, and so on.
-
-## How do I configure shortcuts?
-You can create and configure shortcuts for any domain-based Group Policy Object (GPO) in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
-
- **To create a new Shortcut preference item**
-
-1. Open GPMC, right-click the Group Policy object that needs the new shortcut extension, and click **Edit**.
-
-2. From **Computer Configuration** or **User Configuration**, go to **Preferences**, and then go to **Windows Settings**.
-
-3. Right-click **Shortcuts**, click **New**, and then choose **Shortcut**.
-
-4. Choose what the shortcut should do, including **Create**, **Delete**, **Replace**, or **Update**.
-
-5. Type the required shortcut settings and your comments into the **Description** box, and click **OK**.
-
-For more information about shortcut extensions, including step-by-step guidance, see [Shortcuts Extension](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc730592(v=ws.11)) and [Configure a Shortcut Item](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc753580(v=ws.11)).

-
-Each cmdlet is a single-function command-line tool that can:
-
-- Create, edit, remove, back up, and import GPOs.
-
-- Create, update, and remove Group Policy links.
-
-- Set inheritance flags and permissions on organizational units (OU) and domains.
-
-- Configure registry-based policy settings and registry settings for Group Policy preferences.

-# Internet Explorer 11 delivery through automatic updates
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-Internet Explorer 11 makes browsing the web faster, easier, safer, and more reliable than ever. To help customers become more secure and up-to-date, Microsoft will distribute Internet Explorer 11 through Automatic Updates and the Windows Update and Microsoft Update sites. Internet Explorer 11 will be available for users of the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), and 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This article provides an overview of the delivery process and options available for IT administrators to control how and when Internet Explorer 11 is deployed to their organization through Automatic Updates.
-
-- [Automatic updates delivery process](#automatic-updates-delivery-process)
-
-- [Internet Explorer 11 automatic upgrades](#internet-explorer-11-automatic-upgrades)
-
-- [Options for blocking automatic delivery](#options-for-blocking-automatic-delivery)
-
-- [Prevent automatic installation of Internet Explorer 11 with WSUS](#prevent-automatic-installation-of-internet-explorer-11-with-wsus)
-
-## Automatic updates delivery process
-
-Internet Explorer 11 only downloads and installs if it’s available for delivery through Automatic Updates; and Automatic Updates only offer Internet Explorer 11
-to users with local administrator accounts. User’s without local administrator accounts won’t be prompted to install the update and will continue using their
-current version of Internet Explorer.
-
-Internet Explorer 11 replaces Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10. If you decide you don’t want Internet Explorer 11, and you’re running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1, you can uninstall it from the **View installed updates** section of the **Uninstall an update** page of the Control Panel.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> If a user installs Internet Explorer 11 and then removes it, it won’t be re-offered to that computer through Automatic Updates. Instead, the user will have to manually re-install the app.
-
-## Internet Explorer 11 automatic upgrades
-
-Internet Explorer 11 is offered through Automatic Updates and Windows Update as an Important update. Users running Windows 7 SP1, who have chosen to download and install updates automatically through Windows Update, are automatically upgraded to Internet Explorer 11.
-
-Users who were automatically upgraded to Internet Explorer 11 can decide to uninstall Internet Explorer 11. However, Internet Explorer 11 will still appear as an optional update through Windows Update.
-
-## Options for blocking automatic delivery
-
-If you use Automatic Updates in your company, but want to stop your users from automatically getting Internet Explorer 11, do one of the following:
-
-- **Download and use the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit.** Includes a Group Policy template and a script that permanently blocks Internet Explorer 11 from being offered by Windows Update or Microsoft Update as a high-priority update. You can download this kit from the [Microsoft Download Center](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=40722).
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > The toolkit won't stop users with local administrator accounts from manually installing Internet Explorer 11. Using this toolkit also prevents your users from receiving automatic upgrades from Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10 to Internet Explorer 11. For more information, see the [Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit frequently asked questions](../ie11-faq/faq-ie11-blocker-toolkit.yml).
-
-- **Use an update management solution to control update deployment.**
- If you already use an update management solution, like [Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)](/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/get-started/windows-server-update-services-wsus) or the more advanced [Microsoft Configuration Manager](/previous-versions/system-center/system-center-2012-R2/gg682129(v=technet.10)), you should use that instead of the Internet Explorer Blocker Toolkit.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > If you use WSUS to manage updates, and Update Rollups are configured for automatic installation, Internet Explorer will automatically install throughout your company.
-
-Additional information on Internet Explorer 11, including a Readiness Toolkit, technical overview, in-depth feature summary, and Internet Explorer 11 download is available on the [Internet Explorer 11 page of the Microsoft Edge IT Center](https://technet.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/dn262703.aspx).
-
-## Availability of Internet Explorer 11
-
-Automatic Updates will start to distribute Internet Explorer 11 shortly after the final release of the product and will distribute it through the Microsoft Configuration Manager and WSUS.
-
-## Prevent automatic installation of Internet Explorer 11 with WSUS
-
-Internet Explorer 11 will be released to WSUS as an Update Rollup package. Therefore, if you’ve configured WSUS to “auto-approve” Update Rollup packages, it’ll be automatically approved and installed. To stop Internet Explorer 11 from being automatically approved for installation, you need to:
-
-1. Click **Start**, click **Administrative Tools**, and then click **Microsoft
- Windows Server Update Services 3.0**.
-
-2. Expand *ComputerName*, and then click **Options**.
-
-3. Click **Automatic Approvals**.
-
-4. Click the rule that automatically approves an update that is classified as
- Update Rollup, and then click **Edit.**
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > If you don’t see a rule like this, you most likely haven’t configured WSUS to automatically approve Update Rollups for installation. In this situation, you don’t have to do anything else.
-
-5. Click the **Update Rollups** property under the **Step 2: Edit the properties (click an underlined value)** section.
-
- > [!NOTE]
- > The properties for this rule will resemble the following:
-
-6. Clear the **Update Rollup** check box, and then click **OK**.

-|[Out-of-date ActiveX control blocking](out-of-date-activex-control-blocking.md) |ActiveX controls are small apps that let websites provide content, like videos, games, and let you interact with content like toolbars. Unfortunately, because many ActiveX controls aren’t automatically updated, they can become outdated as new versions are released. It’s important that you keep your ActiveX controls up-to-date because malicious software (or malware) can target security flaws in outdated controls, damaging your computer by collecting info from it, installing unwanted software, or by letting someone else control it remotely. To help avoid this situation, IE includes a new security feature, called out-of-date ActiveX control blocking. |
-|[Deprecated document modes and Internet Explorer 11](deprecated-document-modes.md) |Internet Explorer 8 introduced document modes as a way to move from the proprietary coding of web features to a more standardized type of coding that could run on multiple browsers and devices. Starting with Windows 10, we’re deprecating document modes.
For specific details about the technologies and APIs that are no longer supported in Microsoft Edge, see [A break from the past, part 2: Saying goodbye to ActiveX, VBScript, attachEvent](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=615953). |
-|[What is the Internet Explorer 11 Blocker Toolkit?](what-is-the-internet-explorer-11-blocker-toolkit.md) |The IE11 Blocker Toolkit lets you turn off the automatic delivery of IE11 through the Automatic Updates feature of Windows Update. |

-For more info about this new feature, see the [Internet Explorer begins blocking out-of-date ActiveX controls](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=507691) blog. To see the complete list of out-of-date Active controls blocked by this feature, see [Blocked out-of-date ActiveX controls](blocked-out-of-date-activex-controls.md).
-
-
-## What does the out-of-date ActiveX control blocking notification look like?
-When IE blocks an outdated ActiveX control, you’ll see a notification bar similar to this, depending on your version of IE:
-
-**Internet Explorer 9 through Internet Explorer 11**
-
-
-
-**Windows Internet Explorer 8**
-
-
-
-Out-of-date ActiveX control blocking also gives you a security warning that tells you if a webpage tries to launch specific outdated apps, outside of IE:
-
-
-
-
-## How do I fix an outdated ActiveX control or app?
-From the notification about the outdated ActiveX control, you can go to the control’s website to download its latest version.
-
- **To get the updated ActiveX control**
-
-1. From the notification bar, tap or click **Update**.
If you don’t fully trust a site, you shouldn’t allow it to load an outdated ActiveX control. However, although we don’t recommend it, you can view the missing webpage content by tapping or clicking **Run this time**. This option runs the ActiveX control without updating or fixing the problem. The next time you visit a webpage running the same outdated ActiveX control, you’ll get the notification again.
-
- **To get the updated app**
-
-1. From the security warning, tap or click **Update** link.
If you don’t fully trust a site, you shouldn’t allow it to launch an outdated app. However, although we don’t recommend it, you can let the webpage launch the app by tapping or clicking **Allow**. This option opens the app without updating or fixing the problem. The next time you visit a webpage running the same outdated app, you’ll get the notification again.
-
-## How does IE decide which ActiveX controls to block?
-IE uses Microsoft’s versionlist.xml or versionlistWin7.xml file to determine whether an ActiveX control should be stopped from loading. These files are updated with newly-discovered out-of-date ActiveX controls, which IE automatically downloads to your local copy of the file.
-
-You can see your copy of the file here `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\VersionManager\versionlist.xml` or you can view Microsoft’s version, based on your operating system and version of IE, here:
-- [Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=798230)
-- [All other configurations](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=403864)
-
-**Security Note:**
Although we strongly recommend against it, if you don’t want your computer to automatically download the updated version list from Microsoft, run the following command from a command prompt:
-
-```
-reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\VersionManager" /v DownloadVersionList /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
-```
-Turning off this automatic download breaks the out-of-date ActiveX control blocking feature by not letting the version list update with newly outdated controls, potentially compromising the security of your computer. Use this configuration option at your own risk.
-
-## Out-of-date ActiveX control blocking
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
- on managed devices
-Out-of-date ActiveX control blocking includes four new Group Policy settings that you can use to manage your web browser configuration, based on your domain controller. You can download the administrative templates, including the new settings, from the [Administrative templates (.admx) for Windows 10](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=746579) page or the [Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=746580) page, depending on your operating system.
-
-### Group Policy settings
-Here’s a list of the new Group Policy info, including the settings, location, requirements, and Help text strings. All of these settings can be set in either the Computer Configuration or User Configuration scope, but Computer Configuration takes precedence over User Configuration.
-
-**Important**
-Out-of-date ActiveX control blocking is turned off in the Local Intranet Zone and the Trusted Sites Zone; therefore, intranet websites and line-of-business apps will continue to use out-of-date ActiveX controls without disruption.

-## Inventory your ActiveX controls
-You can inventory the ActiveX controls being used in your company, by turning on the **Turn on ActiveX control logging in IE** setting:
-
-- **Windows 10:** Through a comma-separated values (.csv) file or through a local Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class.
-
-- **All other versions of Microsoft Windows:** Through a .csv file only.
-
-
-### Inventory your ActiveX controls by using a .CSV file
-If you decide to inventory the ActiveX controls being used in your company by turning on the **Turn on ActiveX control logging in IE** setting, IE logs the ActiveX control information to the `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AuditMode\VersionAuditLog.csv` file.
-
-Here’s a detailed example and description of what’s included in the VersionAuditLog.csv file.

-
-**Where:**
-- **Source URI.** The URL of the page that loaded the ActiveX control.
-
-- **File path.** The location of the binary that implements the ActiveX control.
-
-- **Product version.** The product version of the binary that implements the ActiveX control.
-
-- **File version.** The file version of the binary that implements the ActiveX control.
-
-- **Allowed/Blocked** Whether IE blocked the ActiveX control.
-
-- **Enhanced Protected Mode (EPM)-compatible.** Whether the loaded ActiveX control is compatible with [Enhanced Protected Mode](/troubleshoot/browsers/enhanced-protected-mode-add-on-compatibility).
Enhanced Protected Mode isn’t supported on Internet Explorer 9 or earlier versions of IE. Therefore, if you’re using Internet Explorer 8 or Internet Explorer 9, all ActiveX controls will always be marked as not EPM-compatible.
-
-- **Reason.** The ActiveX control can be blocked or allowed for any of these reasons:
-
-|Reason |Corresponds to |Description |
-|-------------------------|---------------|-------------------------------------------------|
-|Version not in blocklist |Allowed |The version of the loaded ActiveX control is explicitly allowed by the IE version list. |
-|Trusted domain |Allowed |The ActiveX control was loaded on a domain listed in the **Turn off blocking of outdated ActiveX controls for IE on specific domains** setting. |
-|File doesn’t exist |Allowed |The loaded ActiveX control is missing required binaries to run correctly. |
-|Out-of-date |Blocked |The loaded ActiveX control is explicitly blocked by the IE version list because it is out-of-date. |
-|Not in blocklist |Allowed |The loaded ActiveX control isn’t in the IE version list. |
-|Managed by policy |Allowed |The loaded ActiveX control is managed by a Group Policy setting that isn’t listed here, and will be managed in accordance with that Group Policy setting. |
-|Trusted Site Zone or intranet |Allowed |The ActiveX control was loaded in the Trusted Sites Zone or the Local Intranet Zone. |
-|Hardblocked |Blocked |The loaded ActiveX control is blocked in IE because it contains known security vulnerabilities. |
-|Unknown |Allowed or blocked |None of the above apply. |
-
-### Inventory your ActiveX controls by using a local WMI class
-For Windows 10 you also have the option to log your inventory info to a local WMI class. Info logged to this class includes all of info you get from the .csv file, plus the CLSID of the loaded ActiveX control or the name of any apps started from an ActiveX control.
-
-#### Before you begin
-Before you can use WMI to inventory your ActiveX controls, you need to [download the configuration package (.zip file)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=616971), which includes:
-
-- **ConfigureWMILogging.ps1**. A Windows PowerShell script.
-
-- **ActiveXWMILogging.mof**. A managed object file.
-
-Before running the PowerShell script, you must copy both the .ps1 and .mof file to the same directory location, on the client computer.
-
- **To configure IE to use WMI logging**
-
-1. Open your Group Policy editor and turn on the `Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Turn on ActiveX control logging in IE` setting.
-
-2. On the client device, start PowerShell in elevated mode (using admin privileges) and run `ConfigureWMILogging.ps1` by by-passing the PowerShell execution policy, using this command:
- ```
- powershell –ExecutionPolicy Bypass .\ConfigureWMILogging.ps1
- ```
- For more info, see [about_Execution_Policies](/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_execution_policies).
-
-3. **Optional:** Set up your domain firewall for WMI data. For more info, see [Collect data using Enterprise Site Discovery](collect-data-using-enterprise-site-discovery.md).
-
-The inventory info appears in the WMI class, `IEAXControlBlockingAuditInfo`, located in the WMI namespace, *root\\cimv2\\IETelemetry*. To collect the inventory info from your client computers, we recommend using System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager or any agent that can access the WMI data. For more info, see [Collect data using Enterprise Site Discovery](collect-data-using-enterprise-site-discovery.md).

-# Problems after installing Internet Explorer 11
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-After you install Internet Explorer 11 in your organization, you might run into the following issues. By following these suggestions, you should be able to fix them.
-
-## Internet Explorer is in an unusable state
-If IE11 gets into an unusable state on an employee's computer, you can use the **Reset Internet Explorer Settings (RIES)** feature to restore the default settings for many of the browser features, including:
-
-- Search scopes
-
-- Appearance settings
-
-- Toolbars
-
-- ActiveX® controls (resets to the opt-in state, unless they're pre-approved)
-
-- Branding settings created with IEAK 11
-
-RIES does not:
-
-- Clear the Favorites list, RSS feeds, or Web slices.
-
-- Reset connection or proxy settings.
-
-- Affect the applied Administrative Template Group Policy settings.
-
-RIES turns off all custom toolbars, browser extensions, and customizations installed with IE11. If you change your mind, you can turn each of the customizations back on through the **Manage Add-ons** dialog box. For more information about resetting IE settings, see [How to Reset Internet Explorer Settings](https://support.microsoft.com/windows/change-or-reset-internet-explorer-settings-2d4bac50-5762-91c5-a057-a922533f77d5).
-
-## IE is crashing or seems slow
-If you notice that CPU usage is running higher than normal, or that IE is frequently crashing or slowing down, you should check your browser add-ons and video card. By default, IE11 uses graphics processing unit (GPU) rendering mode. However, some outdated video cards and video drivers don't support GPU hardware acceleration. If IE11 determines that your current video card or video driver doesn't support GPU hardware acceleration, it'll use Software Rendering mode.
-
- **To check your browser add-ons**
-
-1. Start IE11 in **No Add-ons mode** by running the **Run** command from the **Start** menu, and then typing `iexplore.exe -extoff` into the box.
-
-2. Check if IE still crashes.
If you decide to manually change the registry key, you can change the **Enable** setting to `[deployment url]/api/records/`, which automatically sends your reports to this page.
-
-### Setting up, collecting, and viewing reports
-For logging, you’re going to need a valid URL that points to a server that can be listened to for updates to a user’s registry key. This means you need to set up an endpoint server for the incoming POST messages, which are sent every time the user turns Enterprise Mode on or off from the **Tools** menu. These POST messages go into your database, aggregating the report data by URL, giving you the total number of reports where users turned on Enterprise Mode, the total number of reports where users turned off Enterprise Mode, and the date of the last report.
-
- **To set up the sample**
-
-1. Set up a server to collect your Enterprise Mode information from your users.
-
-2. Go to the Internet Explorer/[EMIE-Data_Collection_Sample](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=507401) page on GitHub and tap or click the **Download ZIP** button to download the complete project.
-
-3. Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 with Update 2, and then open the PhoneHomeSample.sln file.
-
-4. On the **Build** menu, tap or click **Build Solution**.
- Make sure you have a database associated with your publishing target. Otherwise, your reports won’t be collected and you’ll have problems deploying the website.
-
- 
-
- After you finish the publishing process, you need to test to make sure the app deployed successfully.
-
- **To test, deploy, and use the app**
-
-7. Open a registry editor on the computer where you deployed the app, go to the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\EnterpriseMode` key, and change the **Enable** string to:
-
- ``` "Enable"="https://
-IE11 isn't supported on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012.
-
-Some of the components in this table might also need additional system resources. Check the component's documentation for more information.

-| Display | Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution monitor with 256 colors |
-| Peripherals | Internet connection and a compatible pointing device |
-
-## Support for .NET Framework
-You might experience start up issues where IE11 fails to launch an application that uses managed browser hosting controls with your legacy apps. This is because, starting with Internet Explorer 10, the browser started blocking legacy apps from using the .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0. To fix this problem, see [.NET Framework problems with Internet Explorer 11](net-framework-problems-with-ie11.md).
-
-## Support for multiple languages
-IE11 is available in 108 languages for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 and in 97 languages for Windows 7 with SP1. For the list of languages and download links, see [Available language packs based on operating system](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=281818).
-
-Computers running localized versions of Windows should run the same version of IE11. For example, if your employees use the Spanish edition of Windows, you should deploy the Spanish version of IE11. On the other hand, if your employees use multiple localized versions of Windows, like Spanish, French, and Catalan, you should install IE11 in one of the languages, and then install language packs for the others.

-Enterprise Mode is a compatibility mode that runs on Internet Explorer 11, letting websites render using a modified browser configuration that's designed to emulate either Windows Internet Explorer 8 or Windows Internet Explorer 7, avoiding the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of Internet Explorer.
-
-You can use IE11 and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to add individual website domains and domain paths and to specify whether the site renders using Enterprise Mode or the default mode.
-
-## Enterprise Mode Site List Manager versions
-There are currently two versions of the Enterprise Site List Manager, both based on your schema and operating system. Download the [Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=716853) or the [Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=394378) tool, based on your operating system.

-# Using Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) to create packages
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) helps you set up, deploy, and maintain Internet Explorer 11.
-
-**Note**
IEAK 11 works in network environments, with or without Microsoft Active Directory.
-
-
-
-## Plan, Customize, and Build with the IEAK 11
-Consider these activities while planning, customizing, and building the custom installation package.
-
-### Plan
-Before you begin, you should:
-
-- **Check the operating system requirements.** Check that the requirements for the computer you're building your installation package from, and the computers you're installing IE11 to, all meet the system requirements for IEAK 11 and IE11. For Internet Explorer requirements, see [System requirements and language support for Internet Explorer 11 (IE11)](system-requirements-and-language-support-for-ie11.md). For IEAK 11 requirements, see [Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) - Administration Guide for IT Pros](../ie11-ieak/index.md).
-
-- **Decide on your distribution method.** Decide how to distribute your custom installation package: Windows Update, Microsoft Configuration Manager, or your network.
-
-- **Gather URLs and branding and custom graphics.** Collect the URLs for your company's own **Home**, **Search**, and **Support** pages, plus any custom branding and graphic files for the browser toolbar button and the **Favorites** list icons.
-
-- **Identify trusted network servers.** Decide which servers your employees should use to install the custom IE package. These servers need to be listed as trusted sites.
-
-- **Set up automatic detection and configuration settings.** Decide whether to automatically customize IE11 the first time it's started.
-
-- **Identify custom components for uninstallation.** Decide whether to include any custom uninstallation programs. Uninstallation programs let your employees remove your custom components through **Uninstall or change a program** in the Control Panel.
-
-- **Identify ActiveX controls.** Decide if you'll use ActiveX controls in your company. If you already use ActiveX, you should get an inventory of your active controls.
-
-### Customize and build
-After installing IE11 and the IEAK 11, you should:
-
-- **Prepare your build computer.** Create your build environment on the computer you're using to build the custom package.
-
-- **Create your branding and custom graphics.** If you don't have any, create custom branding and graphic files for the browser toolbar button and icons in your **Favorites** list.
-
-- **Specify your servers as trusted sites.** Identify your installation servers as trusted sites, in the **Trusted sites zone** of the **Internet Options** box.
-
-- **Turn on automatic detection and configuration settings (Optional).** Set up your network so that IE is automatically customized the first time it's started.
-
-- **Set up custom components for uninstallation.** Create the custom .inf file you'll use to register your custom uninstallation programs.
-
-- **Set up ActiveX controls.** Add any new ActiveX controls to the Axaa.adm file, using a text editor.
-
-- **Create a custom browser package.** Create your custom installation package, using IE Customization Wizard 11. For more information about using the wizard, see [Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) Customization Wizard options](../ie11-ieak/ieak11-wizard-custom-options.md).

For details about .inf files, see [INF File Sections and Directives](/windows-hardware/drivers/install/).
-
- **To add uninstallation instructions to the .inf files**
-
-- Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and add these registry keys:
- ```
- HKLM,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\app-name,"DisplayName",,"description"
- HKLM,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\app-name,"UninstallString",,"command-line"
- ```
- Where **"description"** is the name that shows up in the **Uninstall or change a program** box and **"command-line"** is the command that runs after the component is picked.
-
- Make sure your script removes the uninstallation registry key, too. Otherwise, the component name will continue to show up in the Uninstall or change a program.
-
-## Limitations
-.Inf files have limitations:
-
-- You can't delete directories.
-
-- You can't use **RenFiles** to move a file to a different location, it only lets you rename a file in its existing location. For detailed information, see [INF RenFiles Directive](/windows-hardware/drivers/install/inf-renfiles-directive).
-
-- You can't use **CopyFiles** to copy a file to another place on your hard drive, it can only copy files from the source disk to the destination directory. For information, see [INF CopyFiles Directive](/windows-hardware/drivers/install/inf-copyfiles-directive).

-# Virtualization and compatibility with Internet Explorer 11
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-If your company is considering upgrading to the latest version of Internet Explorer, but is hesitant because of a large number of web apps that need to be tested and moved, we recommend that you consider virtualization. Virtualization lets you set up a virtual environment where you can run earlier versions of IE.
-
-**Important**
-We strongly suggest that while you're using virtualization, you also update your web apps so they run natively in the newer version of IE. For more information about how to update your code, see the [Internet Explorer 11 Compatibility Cookbook (Windows)](/previous-versions//dn384049(v=vs.85)) to learn about the developer features that have been changed or deprecated since Internet Explorer 10.
-
-The Microsoft-supported options for virtualizing web apps are:
-
-- **Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V).** Uses Microsoft Virtual PC to provide an enterprise solution for desktop virtualization. With MED-V, you can easily create, deliver, and manage corporate Virtual PC images on any Windows®-based desktop. For more information, see [MED-V](/microsoft-desktop-optimization-pack/medv-v2/).
-
-- **Client Hyper-V.** Uses the same virtualization technology previously available in Windows Server, but now installed for Windows 8.1. For more information, see [Client Hyper-V](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-8.1-and-8/hh857623(v=ws.11)).
-
-6. Clear the **Update Rollup** check box, and then click **OK**.
-
-7. Click **OK** to close the **Automatic Approvals** dialog box.
-
-After the new Internet Explorer 11 package is available for download, you should manually synchronize the new package to your WSUS server, so that when you re-enable auto-approval it won’t be automatically installed.
-
-1. Click **Start**, click **Administrative Tools**, and then click **Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0**.
-
-2. Expand *ComputerName*, and then click **Synchronizations**.
-
-3. Click **Synchronize Now**.
-
-4. Expand *ComputerName*, expand **Updates**, and then click **All Updates**.
-
-5. Choose **Unapproved** in the **Approval**drop down box.
-
-6. Check to make sure that Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 is listed as an unapproved update.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> There may be multiple updates, depending on the imported language and operating system updates.
-
-### Optional - Reset update rollups packages to auto-approve
-
-1. Click **Start**, click **Administrative Tools**, and then click **Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0**.
-
-2. Expand *ComputerName*, and then click **Options**.
-
-3. Click **Automatic Approvals**.
-
-4. Click the rule that automatically approves updates of different classifications, and then click **Edit**.
-
-5. Click the **Update Rollups** property under the **Step 2: Edit the properties (click an underlined value)** section.
-
-6. Check the **Update Rollups** check box, and then click **OK**.
-
-7. Click **OK** to close the **Automatic Approvals** dialog box.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Because auto-approval rules are only evaluated when an update is first imported into WSUS, turning this rule back on after the Internet Explorer 11 update has been imported and synchronized to the server won’t cause this update to be auto-approved.

-
- Answering frequently asked questions about Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) features, operating system support, integration with the Windows operating system, Group Policy, and general configuration.
-
-
-sections:
- - name: Ignored
- questions:
- - question: |
- What operating system does IE11 run on?
- answer: |
- - Windows 10
-
- - Windows 8.1
-
- - Windows Server 2012 R2
-
- - Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
- - Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)
-
-
- - question: |
- How do I install IE11 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows Server 2012 R2?
- answer: |
- IE11 is preinstalled with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2. No additional action is required.
-
- - question: |
- How do I install IE11 on Windows 7 with SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1?
- answer: |
- You can install IE11 on computers running either Windows 7 with SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1. To download IE11, see the IE11 [home page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=290956).
-
- - question: |
- How does IE11 integrate with Windows 8.1?
- answer: |
- IE11 is the default handler for the HTTP and HTTPS protocols and the default browser for Windows 8.1. There are two experiences in Windows 8.1: Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer for the desktop. IE is the default browser for touch-first, immersive experiences. Internet Explorer for the desktop provides a more traditional window and tab management experience. The underlying platform of IE11 is fully interoperable across both IE and the familiar Internet Explorer for the desktop, letting developers write the same markup for both experiences.
-
- - question: |
- What are the new or improved security features?
- answer: |
- IE11 offers improvements to Enhanced Protected Mode, password manager, and other security features. IE11 also turns on Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 by default.
-
- - question: |
- How is Microsoft supporting modern web standards, such as WebGL?
- answer: |
- Microsoft is committed to providing an interoperable web by supporting modern web standards. Doing this lets developers use the same markup across web browsers, helping to reduce development and support costs.
- The preinstalled version of Adobe Flash isn't supported on IE11 running on either Windows 7 with SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1. However, you can still download and install the separate Adobe Flash plug-in.
-
- - question: |
- Can I replace IE11 on Windows 8.1 with an earlier version?
- answer: |
- No. Windows 8.1 doesn't support any of the previous versions of IE.
-
- - question: |
- Are there any new Group Policy settings in IE11?
- answer: |
- IE11 includes all of the previous Group Policy settings you've used to manage and control web browser configuration since Internet Explorer 9. It also includes the following new Group Policy settings, supporting new features:
-
- - Turn off Page Prediction
-
- - Turn on the swiping motion for Internet Explorer for the desktop

-ActiveX controls are supported in Internet Explorer for the desktop for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. They are not supported on the immersive version of Internet Explorer for Windows 8.1.
-
-## Scenario 1: Limited Internet-only use of ActiveX controls
-While you might not care about your employees using ActiveX controls while on your intranet sites, you probably do want to limit ActiveX usage while your employee is on the Internet. By specifying and pre-approving a set of generic controls for use on the Internet, you’re able to let your employees use the Internet, but you can still limit your company’s exposure to potentially hazardous, non-approved ActiveX controls.
-
-For example, your employees need to access an important Internet site, such as for a business partner or service provider, but there are ActiveX controls on their page. To make sure the site is accessible and functions the way it should, you can visit the site to review the controls, adding them as new entries to your `
-This page only appears if you’re using the **Internal** version of the wizard.
-
-You can set your proxy settings using Internet setting (.ins) files. You can also configure and maintain your advanced proxy settings using JScript (.js), JavaScript (.jvs), or proxy auto-configuration (.pac) script files. When you provide an auto-proxy script, IE dynamically determines whether to connect directly to a host or to use a proxy server.
-
-You can use the Domain Name System (DNS) and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) naming systems to detect and change a browser’s settings automatically when the employee first starts IE on the network. For more info, see [Set up auto detection for DHCP or DNS servers using IEAK 11](auto-detection-dhcp-or-dns-servers-ieak11.md), or refer to the product documentation for your DNS and DHCP software packages.
-
-**To check the existing settings on your employee’s devices**
-
-1. Open IE, click **Tools**, click **Internet Options**, and then click the **Connections** tab.
-
-2. Click **LAN Settings** and make sure that the **Use automatic configuration script** box is selected, confirming the path and name of the file in the **Address** box.
-
-**To use the Automatic Configuration page**
-
-1. Check the **Automatically detect configuration settings** box to automatically detect browser settings.
-
-2. Check the **Enable Automatic Configuration** box if you plan to automatically change your IE settings after deployment, using configuration files. You can then:
-
- - Type the length of time (in minutes) for how often settings are to be applied in your company. Putting zero (**0**), or nothing, in this box will cause automatic configuration to only happen when the computer’s restarted.
-
- - Type the location to your .ins file. You can edit this file directly to make any necessary changes.
-
- The updates will take effect the next time your employee starts IE, or during your next scheduled update.
-
- - Type the location to your automatic proxy script file.
-
- **Note**
- If you specify URLs for both auto-config and auto-proxy, the auto-proxy URL will be incorporated into the .ins file. The correct form for the URL is `https://share/test.ins`.
-
-3. Click **Next** to go to the [Proxy Settings](proxy-settings-ieak11-wizard.md) page or **Back** to go to the [Connection Settings](connection-settings-ieak11-wizard.md) page.

-# Set up auto detection for DHCP or DNS servers using IEAK 11
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-Set up your network to automatically detect and customize Internet Explorer 11 when it’s first started. Automatic detection is supported on both Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), letting your servers detect and set up your employee’s browser settings from a central location, using a configuration URL (.ins file) or a JavaScript proxy configuration file (.js, .jvs, or .pac).
-
-Before you can set up your environment to use automatic detection, you need to turn the feature on.
-
-**To turn on the automatic detection feature**
-
-- Open Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11), run the IE Customization Wizard 11 and on the **Automatic Configuration** page, check **Automatically detect configuration settings**. For more information, see [Use the Automatic Configuration page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](auto-config-ieak11-wizard.md).
-
-## Automatic detection on DHCP and DNS servers
-Automatic detection works even if the browser wasn't originally set up or installed by the administrator.
-
-- **Using DHCP servers:** For local area network (LAN)-based users. This server type lets you specify your global and subnet TCP/IP parameters centrally, defining your users' parameters by using reserved addresses. By doing it this way, a computer can move between subnets, automatically reconfiguring for TCP/IP when it starts.
-
- Your DHCP servers must support the DHCPINFORM message, to obtain the DHCP options.
-
-- **Using DNS servers:** For users on dial-up connections. This server type uses a set of protocols and services on a TCP/IP network, which lets users search for other computers by using hierarchical, user-friendly names (hosts), instead of numeric IP addresses. To use this, you have to set up either the host record or the CNAME alias record in the DNS database file.
-
- DHCP has a higher priority than DNS for automatic configuration. If DHCP provides the URL to a .pac, .jvs, .js, or .ins configuration file, the process stops and the DNS lookup doesn't happen.
-
-**To set up automatic detection for DHCP servers**
-
-- Open the [DHCP Administrative Tool](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/dd145324(v=ws.10)), create a new option type, using the code number 252, and then associate it with the URL to your configuration file. For detailed instructions about how to do this, see [Create an option 252 entry in DHCP](/previous-versions/tn-archive/bb794881(v=technet.10)).
-
- **Examples:**
- `https://www.microsoft.com/webproxy.pac`
- `https://marketing/config.ins`
- `https://123.4.567.8/account.pac`
- `
- `corserv IN A 192.55.200.143`
- `nameserver2 IN A 192.55.200.2`
- `mailserver1 IN A 192.55.200.51`
-
For more info about creating a WPAD entry, see Creating a WPAD entry in DNS.
-
-2. After the database file propagates to the server, the DNS name, `wpad.
-IE11 creates a default URL template based on the host name,**wpad**. For example, `https://wpad.
-You must run the **Automatic Version Synchronization** page once for each operating system and language combination of IE.
-
-The **Automatic Version Synchronization** page tells you:
-
-- **Version available on your machine**. The version of IE11 that’s running on the computer that’s also running the IE Customization Wizard 11.
-
-- **Latest version available on web**. The most recently released version of the IE Customization Wizard 11. To get this value, the wizard compares the version of IE on your computer to the latest version of IE on the **Downloads** site. If the versions are different, you’ll be asked to update your version of IE.
-
-- **Disk space required**. The amount of space on your hard drive needed to update the browser.
-
-- **Disk space available**. The amount of hard drive space available on the computer that’s running the IE Customization Wizard 11.

-
-You'll need to create multiple versions of your custom browser package if:
-
-- You support more than 1 version of the Windows operating system.
-
-- You support more than 1 language.
-
-- You have custom installation packages with only minor differences. For example, having a different phone number or a different set of URLs in the **Favorites** folder.
-
-The Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 stores your original settings in the Install.ins file and will show them each time you re-open the wizard. For more info about .ins files, see [Using Internet Settings (.INS) files with IEAK 11](using-internet-settings-ins-files.md).
-
-**To create multiple versions of your browser package**
-
-1. Use the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 to create a custom browser package. For more info about how to run the wizard, start with the [Use the File Locations page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](file-locations-ieak11-wizard.md) topic.
-
-2. Go to the Cie\Custom folder and rename the Install.ins file to a name that reflects the version. Like, if you need a version for your employees in Texas, you could name the file Texas.ins.
-
-3. Run the wizard again, choosing the newly renamed folder as the destination directory for your output files.
Except for the **Title bar** text, **Favorites**, **Links bar**, **Home** page, and **Search bar**, we recommend that you keep all of your wizard settings the same for all of your build computers.
-
-4. Repeat this process until you’ve created a package for each version of your custom installation package.

-
-The Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) uses Setup information (.inf) files to provide installation instructions for your custom browser packages. You can also use this file to uninstall your custom components by removing the files, registry entries, and shortcuts, and adding your custom component to the list of programs that can be uninstalled from **Uninstall or change a program**.
-
-**To uninstall your custom components**
-
-1. Open the Registry Editor and add a new key and value to:
`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\app-name,"DisplayName",,"description"`
`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\app-name,"UninstallString”",,"command-line"`
You should sign any custom code that’s being downloaded over the Internet. The default settings of Internet Explorer 11 will automatically reject any unsigned code. For more info about digitally signing custom components, see [Security features and IEAK 11](security-and-ieak11.md).
-
-**To use the Custom Component page**
-
-1. Click **Add**.
You should install your component before IE if you need to run a batch file to configure your employee settings. You should install your component after IE if you plan to install software updates.
-
-4. Check the **Only install if IE is installed successfully** box if your component should only install if IE installs successfully. For example, if you’re installing a security update that requires IE.
-
-5. If your component is a .cab file, you must provide the extraction command into the **Command** box.
-
-6. If your component has its own globally unique identifier (GUID), replace the value in the **GUID** box. Otherwise, keep the automatically generated GUID.
-
-7. Describe your component using up to 511 characters in the **Description** box.
-
-8. Type any command-line options that need to run while installing your component into the **Parameters** box. For example, if you want your component to install silently, without prompts. For more info about using options, see [IExpress command-line options](iexpress-command-line-options.md).
-
-9. Type the value that Microsoft Update Setup uses to check that the component installed successfully into the **Uninstall Key** box. This check is done by comparing your value to the value in the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ApplicationName` key.
-
-10. Type a numeric serial number for your component into the **Version** box, using this format: *xxxx*, *xxxxxx*, *xxxx*, *xxxx*.
-
-11. Click **Add**.
If you aren’t using IIS in your company, you’ll need to remap this URL to your script file’s location.
-
-2. On the **Additional Settings** page of the IEAK 11, click **Internet Settings**, and then click **Advanced Settings**.
-
-3. Go to the section labeled **Searching** and type *intranet* into the **Search Provider Keyword** box.
-
-**To redirect to a different site than the one provided by the search results**
-
-- In the **Advanced Settings** section, go to the section labeled **Searching** and change the **When searching from the address bar** setting to **Just go to the most likely site**.
-
-**To disable Automatic Search**
-

-
-The **Favorites, Favorites Bar, and Feeds** page of the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK 11) Customization Wizard lets you add:
-
-- **Links.** Used so your employees can quickly connect with your important websites. These links can appear in the **Links** folder or on the **Favorites Bar**.
-
-- **Web Slices.** Used so your employees can subscribe to a section of a webpage, tracking information as it changes, such as for weather reports, stock prices, or the progress of an auction item.
-
-- **Feeds.** Used so your employees can quickly access your recommended RSS feeds. While you can’t import a folder of RSS feeds, you can add new links.
-
-Although we provide default items in the **Favorites, Favorites Bar, and Feeds** area, you can remove any of the items, add more items, or add new folders and links as part of your custom package. The customizations you make on this page only apply to Internet Explorer for the desktop.
-
-**To work with Favorites**
-
-1. To import your existing folder of links, pick **Favorites**, and then click **Import**.
-
-2. Go to your existing link folder, most likely in the `
|Determines if the **Favorites** item is available for offline browsing. |
-|Title1 |`
Your choices on this page determine what wizard pages appear.
-
-**To use the Feature Selection page**
-
-1. Check the box next to each feature you want to include in your custom installation package.
-You can create a custom installation package on your hard drive and move it to an Internet or intranet server, or you can create it directly on a server. If you create the package on a web server that’s running from your hard drive, use the path to the web server as the destination folder location. Whatever location you choose, it must be protected by appropriate access control lists (ACLs). If the location is not protected, the custom package may be tampered with.
-
-**To use the File Locations page**
-
-1. Browse to the location where you’ll store your finished custom IE installation package and the related subfolders.
Subfolders are created for each language version, based on operating system and media type. For example, if your destination folder is `C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Cie\Dist`, then the English-language version is created as `C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Cie\Dist\Flat\Win32\En` subfolders.
-
-2. Click **Advanced Options**.
-You must run Automatic Version Synchronization at least once to check for updated components.
-
-4. Browse to your .ins file location, and then click **Open**.
You must never edit a .sed file. |

-
-The **First Run Wizard and Welcome Page Options** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you decide what your employee’s see the first time they log on to IE, based on their operating system.
-
-- **Windows 8.1 Update and newer.** No longer includes a **Welcome** page, so if you pick the **Use Internet Explorer 11 Welcome Page** or the **Use a custom Welcome page** option, IEAK creates an initial **Home** page that loads before all other **Home** pages, as the first tab. This only applies to the Internet Explorer for the desktop.
-
-- **Windows 7 SP1.** You can disable the first run page for Windows 7 SP1 and then pick a custom **Welcome** page to show instead. If you don’t customize the settings on this page, your employees will see the default IE **Welcome** page.
-
-**To use the First Run Wizard and Welcome Page Options page**
-
-1. Check the **Use IE11 First Run wizard (recommended)** box to use the default First Run wizard in IE.
Check your license agreement to make sure this customization is available.

-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-Before you can use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 and the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11, you must first install Internet Explorer 11. For more info about installing IE11, see the [Determine the licensing version and features to use in IEAK 11](licensing-version-and-features-ieak11.md) page.
-
-## Hardware requirements
-Before you start the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11, you must check to see how much disk space you have on the drive you're going to use to build the IE11 install package. This drive can be on the same device as the one running the wizard; it just needs to have a secure destination folder.
-
-Before you start to create your install package, you must meet all of the [Internet Explorer 11 requirements](../ie11-deploy-guide/system-requirements-and-language-support-for-ie11.md), plus:
-
-- Up to 100 megabytes (MB) of disk space, depending on how many components you include in the installation package.
-
-- An additional 100 MB of disk space for each custom installation package built. Different media types are considered separate packages.
-
-## Software requirements
-The device you're going to use to build your install packages must be running Internet Explorer 11, on one of these operating systems:
-
-- Windows 10
-The device you're going to use to run IEAK 11 must be running the same version of the operating system as the device where you'll build your install packages.

-
-In addition to the Software License Terms for the Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11, referred to as the "software"), these Guidelines further define how you may and may not use the software to create versions of Internet Explorer 11 with optional customizations (referred to as the "customized browser") for internal use and distribution in accordance with the IEAK 11 Software License Terms. IEAK 11 is for testing purposes only and is not intended to be used in a production environment.
-
-During installation, you must pick a version of IEAK 11, either **External** or **Internal**, based on your license agreement. Your version selection decides the options you can chose, the steps you follow to deploy your Internet Explorer 11 package, and how you manage the browser after deployment.
-
-- **External Distribution as an Internet Service Provider (ISP), Internet Content Provider (ICP), or Developer.** If you are an ISP or an ICP, your license agreement also states that you must show the Internet Explorer logo on your packaging and promotional goods, as well as on your website.
- > [!IMPORTANT]
- > Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that install IEAK 11 as part of a Windows product, under an OEM license agreement with Microsoft, must use their appropriate Windows OEM Preinstallation document (OPD) as the guide for allowable customizations.
-
-- **Internal Distribution via a Corporate Intranet.** This version is for network admins that plan to directly deploy IE11 into a corporate environment.

-## Distribution guidelines
-
-Two installation modes are available to you, depending on how you are planning to use the customized browser created with the software. Each mode requires a separate installation of the software.
-
-- **External Distribution**
- You shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the quality of (i) any non-Microsoft software distributed with Internet Explorer 11, and (ii) any media used for distribution (for example, optical media, flash drives), at a level that meets or exceeds the highest industry standards. If you distribute add-ons with Internet Explorer 11, those add-ons must comply with the [Microsoft browser extension policy](/legal/microsoft-edge/microsoft-browser-extension-policy).
-
-- **Internal Distribution - corporate intranet**
- The software is solely for use by your employees within your company's organization and affiliated companies through your corporate intranet.

-These are various ways you can use a proxy auto-configuration (.pac) file to specify an automatic proxy URL. We've included some examples here to help guide you, but you'll need to change the proxy names, port numbers, and IP addresses to match your organization's info.

-
-
-## Example 1: Connect directly if the host is local
-In this example, if the host is local, it can connect directly. However, if the server isn't local, it must connect through a proxy server. Specifically, the `isPlainHostName` function looks to see if there are any periods (.) in the host name. If the function finds periods, it means the host isn’t local and it returns false. Otherwise, the function returns true.
-
-``` javascript
-function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
- {
- if (isPlainHostName(host))
- return "DIRECT";
- else
- return "PROXY proxy:80";
- }
-```
-## Example 2: Connect directly if the host is inside the firewall
-In this example, if the host is inside the firewall, it can connect directly. However, if the server is outside the firewall, it must connect through a proxy server. Specifically, the `localHostOrDomainIs` function only runs for URLs in the local domain. If the host domain name matches the provided domain information, the `dnsDomainIs` function returns true.
-
-``` javascript
-function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
- {
- if ((isPlainHostName(host) ||
- dnsDomainIs(host, ".company.com")) &&
- !localHostOrDomainIs(host, "www.company.com") &&
- !localHostOrDoaminIs(host, "home.company.com"))
- return "DIRECT";
- else
- return "PROXY proxy:80";
-}
-```
-## Example 3: Connect directly if the host name is resolvable
-In this example, if the host name can be resolved, it can connect directly. However, if the name can’t be resolved, the server must connect through a proxy server. Specifically, this function requests the DNS server to resolve the host name it's passed. If the name can be resolved, a direct connection is made. If it can't, the connection is made using a proxy. This is particularly useful when an internal DNS server is used to resolve all internal host names.
-
-**Important**
The `isResolvable` function queries a Domain Name System (DNS) server. References to Object Model objects, properties, or methods cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail silently. For example, the references `window.open(...)`, `alert(...)`, and `password(...)` all cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail.
-
-``` javascript
-function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
- {
- if (isResolvable(host))
- return "DIRECT";
- else
- return "PROXY proxy:80";
- }
-```
-
-## Example 4: Connect directly if the host is in specified subnet
-In this example, if the host is in a specified subnet, it can connect directly. However, if the server is outside of the specified subnet, it must connect through a proxy server. Specifically, the `isInNet` (host, pattern, mask) function returns true if the host IP address matches the specified pattern. The mask indicates which part of the IP address to match (255=match, 0=ignore).
-
-**Important**
The `isInNet` function queries a DNS server. References to Object Model objects, properties, or methods cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail silently. For example, the references `window.open(...)`, `alert(...)`, and `password(...)` all cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail.
-
-``` javascript
-function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
- {
- if (isInNet(host, "999.99.9.9", "255.0.255.0"))
- return "DIRECT";
- else
- return "PROXY proxy:80";
- }
-```
-## Example 5: Determine the connection type based on the host domain
-In this example, if the host is local, the server can connect directly. However, if the host isn’t local, this function determines which proxy to use based on the host domain. Specifically, the `shExpMatch(str, shexp)` function returns true if `str` matches the `shexp` using shell expression patterns. This is particularly useful when the host domain name is one of the criteria for proxy selection.
-
-``` javascript
-function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
- {
- if (isPlainHostName(host))
- return "DIRECT";
- else if (shExpMatch(host, "*.com"))
- return "PROXY comproxy:80";
- else if (shExpMatch(host, "*.edu"))
- return "PROXY eduproxy:80";
- else
- return "PROXY proxy";
- }
-```
-## Example 6: Determine the connection type based on the protocol
-In this example, the in-use protocol is extracted from the server and used to make a proxy selection. If no protocol match occurs, the server is directly connected. Specifically the `substring` function extracts the specified number of characters from a string. This is particularly useful when protocol is one of the criteria for proxy selection.
-
-``` javascript
-function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
- {
- if (url.substring(0, 5) == "http:") {
- return "PROXY proxy:80";
- }
- else if (url.substring(0, 4) == "ftp:") {
- return "PROXY fproxy:80";
- }
- else if (url.substring(0, 6) == "https:") {
- return "PROXY secproxy:8080";
- }
- else {
- return "DIRECT";
- }
- }
-```
-## Example 7: Determine the proxy server based on the host name matching the IP address
-In this example, the proxy server is selected by translating the host name into an IP address and then comparing the address to a specified string.
-
-**Important**
The `dnsResolve` function queries a DNS server. References to Object Model objects, properties, or methods cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail silently. For example, the references `window.open(...)`, `alert(...)`, and `password(...)` all cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail.
-
-``` javascript
-function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
- {
- if (dnsResolve(host) == "999.99.99.999") { // = https://secproxy
- return "PROXY secproxy:8080";
- }
- else {
- return "PROXY proxy:80";
- }
- }
-```
-## Example 8: Connect using a proxy server if the host IP address matches the specified IP address
-In this example, the proxy server is selected by explicitly getting the IP address and then comparing it to a specified string. If no protocol match occurs, the server makes a direct connection. Specifically, the `myIpAddress` function returns the IP address (in integer-period format) for the host that the browser is running on.
-
-``` javascript
-function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
- {
- if (myIpAddress() == "999.99.999.99") {
- return "PROXY proxy:80";
- }
- else {
- return "DIRECT";
- }
- }
-```
-## Example 9: Connect using a proxy server if there are periods in the host name
-In this example, the function looks to see if there are periods (.) in the host name. If there are any periods, the connection occurs using a proxy server. If there are no periods, a direct connection occurs. Specifically, the `dnsDomainLevels` function returns an integer equal to the number of periods in the host name.
-
-**Note**
This is another way to determine connection types based on host name characteristics.
-
-``` javascript
-function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
- {
- if (dnsDomainLevels(host) > 0) { // if the number of periods in host > 0
- return "PROXY proxy:80";
- }
- return "DIRECT";
- }
-```
-## Example 10: Connect using a proxy server based on specific days of the week
-In this example, the function decides whether to connect to a proxy server, based on the days of the week. Connecting on days that don’t fall between the specified date parameters let the server make a direct connection. Specifically the `weekdayRange(day1 [,day2] [,GMT] )` function returns whether the current system time falls within the range specified by the parameters `day1`, `day2`, and `GMT`. Only the first parameter is required. The GMT parameter presumes time values are in Greenwich Mean Time rather than the local time zone. This function is particularly useful for situations where you want to use a proxy server for heavy traffic times, but allow a direct connection when traffic is light.
-
-``` javascript
-function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
- {
- if(weekdayRange("WED", "SAT", "GMT"))
- return "PROXY proxy:80";
- else
- return "DIRECT";
- }
-```

-
-The **Proxy Settings** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you pick the proxy servers used by your employees to connect for services required by the custom install package.
-
-Using a proxy server lets you limit access to the Internet. You can also use the **Additional Settings** page of the wizard to further restrict your employees from changing the proxy settings.
-
-**To use the Proxy Settings page**
-
-1. Check the **Enable proxy settings** box if you want to use proxy servers for any of your services.
-
-2. Type the address of the proxy server you want to use for your services into the **Address of proxy** box. In most cases, a single proxy server is used for all of your services.
IE11 also uses this registry key to verify that the component installed successfully during setup.
-

-
-After you’ve deployed your custom Internet Explorer package to your employees, you can use the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) snap-in to view your created policy settings. The RSoP snap-in is a two-step process. First, you run the RSoP wizard to determine what information should be viewed. Second, you open the specific items in the console window to view the settings. For complete instructions about how to use RSoP, see [Resultant Set of Policy](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc772175(v=ws.11)).
-
-**To add the RSoP snap-in**
-
-1. On the **Start** screen, type *MMC*.
The Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 offers improved and extended search settings. However, you can still optionally include support for Search Suggestions and Favicons, as well as Accelerator previews by using an .ins file from a previous version of IEAK.
-
-**To use the Search Providers page**
-
-1. Click **Import** to automatically import your existing search providers from your current version of IE into this list.
-
-2. Click **Add** to add more providers.
To change your settings, click **Modify Settings** to open the **Internet Properties** box, and then click the **Security** and **Privacy** tabs to make your changes.
-
-2. Decide if you want to customize your content ratings. You can pick:
-
- - **Do not customize content ratings.** Pick this option if you don’t want to customize content ratings.
-
- - **Import the current content ratings settings.** Pick this option to import your content rating settings from your computer and use them as the preset for your employee’s settings.
Not all Internet content is rated. If you choose to allow users to view unrated sites, some of those sites could contain inappropriate material. To change your settings, click **Modify Settings** to open the **Content Advisor** box, where you can make your changes.
-
-3. Click **Next** to go to the [Add a Root Certificate](add-root-certificate-ieak11-wizard.md) page or **Back** to go to the [Proxy Settings](proxy-settings-ieak11-wizard.md) page.

-# Troubleshoot custom package and IEAK 11 problems
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 workloads end of support for IE11](../includes/microsoft-365-ie-end-of-support.md)]
-
-While the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard has been around for quite a while, there are still some known issues that you might encounter while deploying or managing your custom IE install package.
-
-## I am unable to locate some of the wizard pages
-The most common reasons you will not see certain pages is because:
-
-- **Your licensing agreement with Microsoft.** Your licensing agreement determines whether you install the **Internal** or **External** version of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard, and there are different features available for each version. For info about which features are available for each version, see [Determine the licensing version and features to use in IEAK 11](licensing-version-and-features-ieak11.md).
-
-- **Your choice of operating system.** Depending on the operating system you picked from the **Platform Selection** page of the wizard, you might not see all of the pages. Some features aren’t available for all operating systems. For more information, see [Use the Platform Selection page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](platform-selection-ieak11-wizard.md).
-
-- **Your choice of features.** Depending on what you selected from the **Feature Selection** page of the wizard, you might not see all of the pages. You need to make sure that the features you want to customize are all checked. For more information, see [Use the Feature Selection page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](feature-selection-ieak11-wizard.md).
-
-## Internet Explorer Setup fails on user's devices
-Various issues can cause problems during Setup, including missing files, trust issues, or URL monikers. You can troubleshoot these issues by reviewing the Setup log file, located at `IE11\_main.log` from the **Windows** folder (typically, `C:\Windows`). The log file covers the entire Setup process from the moment IE11Setup.exe starts until the last .cab file finishes, providing error codes that you can use to help determine the cause of the failure.
-
-### Main.log file codes
-
-|Code |Description |
-|-----|------------|
-|0 |Initializing, making a temporary folder, and checking disk space. |
-|1 |Checking for all dependencies. |
-|2 |Downloading files from the server. |
-|3 |Copying files from download location to the temporary installation folder. |
-|4 |Restarting download and retrying Setup, because of a time-out error or other download error. |
-|5 |Checking trust and checking permissions. |
-|6 |Extracting files. |
-|7 |Running Setup program (an .inf or .exe file). |
-|8 |Installation is finished. |
-|9 |Download finished, and all files are downloaded. |
-
-### Main.log error codes
-
-|Code |Description |
-|-----|------------|
-|80100003 |Files are missing from the download folder during installation. |
-|800bxxxx |An error code starting with 800b is a trust failure. |
-|800Cxxxx |An error code starting with 800C is a Urlmon.dll failure. |
-
-
-## Internet Explorer Setup connection times out
-Internet Explorer Setup can switch servers during the installation process to maintain maximum throughput or to recover from a non-responsive download site (you receive less than 1 byte in 2 minutes). If the connection times out, but Setup is able to connect to the next download site on the list, your download starts over. If however the connection times out and Setup can’t connect to a different server, it’ll ask if you want to stop the installation or try again.
-
-To address connection issues (for example, as a result of server problems) where Setup can’t locate another download site by default, we recommend you overwrite your first download server using this workaround:
-
-``` syntax
-
|Determines whether to automatically configure the customized browser on your employee’s device. |
-|AutoConfigJSURL |`
|Determines whether to show the **Welcome** page the first time the browser’s used on an employee’s device. |
-|Quick_Link_1 |`
|Determines whether to make the Quick Links available for offline browsing. |
-|Search_Page |`
|Determines whether to use a local Internet Settings (.ins) file |

-The **User Experience** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you decide how much you want your employees to interact with the custom package’s Setup process.
-
-**Note**
You’ll only see this page if you are running the **Internal** version of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11.
For example, if you want people to be limited to `http://contoso.com` only, you would add `.contoso.com` to blocked URL exception list and then block all other URLs.
-Blocked URLs | Specify URLs that people can't navigate to. You can use wildcards.
If you want to limit people to a specific site, add `https://*` to the blocked URL list, and then specify the site to be allowed in the blocked URL exceptions list.

-Enable End Session Button | Show a button in Kiosk Browser that people can use to reset the browser. End Session will clear all browsing data and navigate back to the default URL.
-Enable Home Button | Show a Home button in Kiosk Browser. Home will return the browser to the default URL.

#### Rules for URLs in Kiosk Browser settings
Kiosk Browser filtering rules are based on the [Chromium Project](https://www.chromium.org/Home).
URLs can include:
+
- A valid port value from 1 to 65,535.
- The path to the resource.
- Query parameters.
More guidelines for URLs:
-- If a period precedes the host, the policy filters exact host matches only.
-- You can't use user:pass fields.
-- When both blocked URL and blocked URL exceptions apply with the same path length, the exception takes precedence.
-- The policy searches wildcards (*) last.
-- The optional query is a set of key-value and key-only tokens delimited by '&'.
-- Key-value tokens are separated by '='.
-- A query token can optionally end with a '*' to indicate prefix match. Token order is ignored during matching.

## Secure your information
Avoid selecting Windows apps that may expose the information you don't want to show in your kiosk, since kiosk usually means anonymous access and locates in a public setting like a shopping mall. For example, an app that has a file picker allows the user to gain access to files and folders on the user's system, avoid selecting these types of apps if they provide unnecessary data access.
## App configuration
-Some apps may require more configurations before they can be used appropriately in assigned access. For example, Microsoft OneNote requires you to set up a Microsoft account for the assigned access user account before OneNote will open in assigned access.
+Some apps may require more configurations before they can be used appropriately in assigned access. For example, Microsoft OneNote requires you to set up a Microsoft account for the assigned access user account before OneNote will open in assigned access.
-Check the guidelines published by your selected app and set up accordingly.

-| **UE-V template generator** | Use the **UE-V template generator** to create custom settings location templates that you can then distribute to user computers. The UE-V template generator also lets you edit an existing template or validate a template that was created with a different XML editor.
With the Windows 10, version 1607 release, the UE-V template generator is installed with the [Windows Assessment and Deployment kit for Windows 10, version 1607](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/windows-assessment-deployment-kit) (Windows ADK).
If you are upgrading from an existing UE-V installation, you’ll need to use the new generator to create new settings location templates. Application templates created with previous versions of the UE-V template generator are still supported, however. |
-| **Settings template catalog** | The **settings template catalog** is a folder path on UE-V computers or a Server Message Block (SMB) network share that stores the custom settings location templates. The UE-V service checks this location once a day, retrieves new or updated templates, and updates its synchronization behavior.
If you use only the UE-V default settings location templates, then a settings template catalog is unnecessary. For more information about settings deployment catalogs, see [Deploy a UE-V settings template catalog](uev-deploy-uev-for-custom-applications.md).|

+After you've reviewed the settings that are synchronized automatically in a UE-V deployment, you'll need to decide whether to synchronize settings for other applications as your decision will determine how you deploy UE-V throughout your enterprise.
As an administrator, when you consider which desktop applications to include in your UE-V solution, consider which settings can be customized by users, and how and where the application stores its settings. Not all desktop applications have settings that can be customized or that are routinely customized by users. In addition, not all desktop applications settings can be synchronized safely across multiple devices or environments.
In general, you can synchronize settings that meet the following criteria:
-- Settings that are stored in user-accessible locations. For example, don't synchronize settings that are stored in System32 or outside the HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER (HKCU) section of the registry.
-
-- Settings that aren't specific to the particular device. For example, exclude network shortcuts or hardware configurations.
-
-- Settings that can be synchronized between computers without risk of corrupted data. For example, don't use settings that are stored in a database file.

This result happens because the uninstall removes the local (cached) copy of the application’s settings but doesn't remove the local UE-V settings package. When the application is reinstalled and launched, UE-V gathers the application settings that were reset to the application defaults and then uploads the default settings to the central storage location.

The *Sync Method* configuration defines how the UE-V service uploads and downloads those settings to the settings storage location. UE-V includes a SyncMethod called the *SyncProvider*. For more information about trigger events that start the synchronization of application and Windows settings, see [Sync Trigger Events for UE-V](uev-sync-trigger-events.md).

For more information about trigger events that start the synchronization of application and Windows settings, see [Sync Trigger Events for UE-V](uev-sync-trigger-events.md).
## SyncMethod Configuration
This table provides a description of each SyncMethod configuration:
-| **SyncMethod Configuration** | **Description** |
-|------------------------------|---------------------|
-| SyncProvider (Default) | Settings changes for a specific application or for global Windows desktop settings are saved locally to a cache folder. These changes are then synchronized with the settings storage location when a synchronization trigger event takes place. Pushing out changes will save the local changes to the settings storage path.
This default setting is the gold standard for computers. This option attempts to synchronize the setting and times out after a short delay to ensure that the application or operating system startup isn’t delayed for a long period of time.
This functionality is also tied to the Scheduled task – Sync Controller Application. The administrator controls the frequency of the Scheduled task. By default, computers synchronize their settings every 30 min after logging on. |
-| External | This configuration method specifies that if UE-V settings are written to a local folder on the user computer, then any external sync engine (such as OneDrive for Business, Work Folders, Sharepoint, or Dropbox) can be used to apply these settings to the different computers that users access. |
-| None | This configuration setting is designed for the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Streamed Application experience primarily. This setting should be used on computers running the Windows Server operating system in a datacenter, where the connection will always be available.
Any settings changes are saved directly to the server. If the network connection to the settings storage path isn't available, then the settings changes are cached on the device and are synchronized the next time that the Sync Provider runs. If the settings storage path isn't found and the user profile is removed from a pooled VDI environment on sign out, then these settings changes are lost, and the user must reapply the change when the computer can again reach the settings storage path.
Apps and OS will wait indefinitely for the location to be present. This waiting period could cause App load or OS sign-in time to dramatically increase if the location isn't found. |

# Synchronizing Office with UE-V
-**Applies to**
-- Windows 10, version 1607
-
Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) supports the synchronization of Microsoft Office application settings. The combination of UE-V and App-V support for Office enables the same experience on virtualized instances of Office from any UE-V-enabled device or virtualized desktop.
-To synchronize Office applications settings, you can download Office templates from the [User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) Template Gallery](https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=RootCategory&f%5B0%5D.Value=UE-V&f%5B0%5D.Text=UE-V). This resource provides Microsoft-authored UE-V settings location templates and community-developed settings location templates.

## Microsoft Office support in UE-V
-UE-V includes settings location templates for Microsoft Office 2016, 2013, and 2010. In previous versions of UE-V, settings location templates for Office 2013 and Office 2010 were distributed and registered when you installed the UE-V agent. Now that UE-V is a feature in Windows 10, version 1607, settings location templates are installed when you install or upgrade to the new operating system.

These improvements focus on maximizing customer involvement in Windows development, simplifying the deployment and servicing of Windows client computers, and leveling out the resources needed to deploy and maintain Windows over time.

These improvements focus on maximizing customer involvement in Windows development, simplifying the deployment and servicing of Windows client computers, and leveling out the resources needed to deploy and maintain Windows over time.
## Building
-Prior to Windows 10, Microsoft released new versions of Windows every few years. This traditional deployment schedule imposed a training burden on users because the feature revisions were often significant. That schedule also meant waiting long periods without new features — a scenario that doesn't work in today's rapidly changing world, a world in which new security, management, and deployment capabilities are necessary to address challenges.
+Prior to Windows 10, Microsoft released new versions of Windows every few years.

That scenario doesn't always work in today's rapidly changing world, a world in which new security, management, and deployment capabilities are necessary to address challenges.
-In the past, when Microsoft developed new versions of Windows, it typically released technical previews near the end of the process, when Windows was nearly ready to ship. With Windows 10, new features are delivered to the [Windows Insider community](/windows-insider/business/register) as soon as possible, during the development cycle, through a process called *flighting*. Organizations can see exactly what Microsoft is developing and start their testing as soon as possible.

With Windows 10, new features are delivered to the [Windows Insider Program](/windows-insider/) as soon as possible, during the development cycle, through a process called *flighting*. Organizations can see exactly what Microsoft is developing and start their testing as soon as possible.
Microsoft also depends on receiving feedback from organizations throughout the development process so that it can make adjustments as quickly as possible rather than waiting until after release. For more information about the Windows Insider Program and how to sign up, see the section [Windows Insider](#windows-insider).
-Of course, Microsoft also performs extensive internal testing, with engineering teams installing new builds daily, and larger groups of employees installing builds frequently, all before those builds are ever released to the Windows Insider Program.
+Microsoft also runs extensive internal testing, with engineering teams installing new builds daily, and larger groups of employees installing builds frequently, all before those builds are ever released to the Windows Insider Program.
## Deploying
Deploying Windows 10 and Windows 11 is simpler than with previous versions of Windows. When migrating from earlier versions of Windows, you can use an easy in-place upgrade process to automatically preserve all apps, settings, and data. Afterwards, deployment of feature updates is equally simple.
-
### Application compatibility
-Application compatibility testing has historically been a burden when approaching a Windows deployment or upgrade. Application compatibility from the perspective of desktop applications, websites, and apps built on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) has improved tremendously over older versions of Windows. For the most important business-critical applications, organizations should still perform testing regularly to validate compatibility with new builds.

For the most important business-critical applications, organizations should still perform testing regularly to validate compatibility with new builds.
## Servicing
-Traditional Windows servicing has included several release types: major revisions (for example, the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7 operating systems), service packs, and monthly updates. With Windows 10 and Windows 11, there are two release types: feature updates that add new functionality and quality updates that provide security and reliability fixes.

-Servicing channels are the first way to separate users into deployment groups for feature and quality updates. For more information about developing a deployment strategy that uses servicing channels, see [Plan servicing strategy for Windows client updates](waas-servicing-strategy-windows-10-updates.md).

For information about each servicing tool, see [Servicing tools](#servicing-tools).
There are three servicing channels, each of which provides different levels of flexibility over when these updates are delivered to client computers. For more information, see [Servicing channels](#servicing-channels).

There are currently three release channels for Windows clients:

+- The **General Availability Channel** receives feature updates as soon as they're available.
- The **Long-Term Servicing Channel**, which is designed to be used only for specialized devices (which typically don't run Office) such as those that control medical equipment or ATM machines, receives new feature releases every two to three years.
- The **Windows Insider Program** provides organizations with the opportunity to test and provide feedback on features that will be shipped in the next feature update.
>[!NOTE]
->With each General Availability release, we recommend beginning deployment right away to devices selected for early adoption (targeted validation) and ramp up to full deployment at your discretion. This will enable you to gain access to new features, experiences, and integrated security as soon as possible.

-New features are packaged into feature updates that you can deploy using existing management tools. These changes come in bite-sized chunks rather than all at once, decreasing user readiness time.

### Quality updates
@@ -76,12 +73,12 @@ Monthly updates in previous Windows versions were often overwhelming because of
Rather than receiving several updates each month and trying to figure out which the organization needs, which ultimately causes platform fragmentation, administrators see one cumulative monthly update that supersedes the previous month's update, containing both security and non-security fixes. This approach makes updating simpler and ensures that devices are more closely aligned with the testing done at Microsoft, reducing unexpected issues resulting from updates.

The [Long-Term Servicing Channel](#long-term-servicing-channel), which is designed to be used only for specialized devices (which typically don't run Office) such as those that control medical equipment or ATM machines, receives new feature releases every two to three years. For more information about the versions in each servicing channel, see [Windows release information](/windows/release-health/).

When Microsoft officially releases a feature update, we make it available to any device not configured to defer feature updates so that those devices can immediately install it. Organizations that use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Microsoft Configuration Manager, or Windows Update for Business, however, can defer feature updates to selective devices by withholding their approval and deployment. In this scenario, the content available for the General Availability Channel is available but not necessarily immediately mandatory, depending on the policy of the management system.

## Servicing tools
There are many tools you can use to service Windows as a service. Each option has its pros and cons, ranging from capabilities and control to simplicity and low administrative requirements. The following are examples of the servicing tools available to manage Windows as a service updates:
- **Windows Update (stand-alone)** provides limited control over feature updates, with IT pros manually configuring the device to be in the General Availability Channel. Organizations can target which devices defer updates by selecting the **Defer upgrades** check box in **Start\Settings\Update & Security\Advanced Options** on a Windows client device.
- **Windows Update for Business** includes control over update deferment and provides centralized management using Group Policy or MDM. Windows Update for Business can be used to defer updates by up to 365 days, depending on the version. These deployment options are available to clients in the General Availability Channel. In addition to being able to use Group Policy to manage Windows Update for Business, either option can be configured without requiring any on-premises infrastructure by using Microsoft Intune.
-- **Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)** provides extensive control over updates and is natively available in the Windows Server operating system. In addition to the ability to defer updates, organizations can add an approval layer for updates and choose to deploy them to specific computers or groups of computers whenever ready.
-- **Microsoft Configuration Manager** provides the greatest control over servicing Windows as a service. IT pros can defer updates, approve them, and have multiple options for targeting deployments and managing bandwidth usage and deployment times.
