Edge Chromium Sccm



New Edge, Credge, Edgium or Credgium – no matter what you call it, the Edge browser based on chromium was released on Jan 15th 2020.

To deploy the new versions using SCCM 1910 (or above)

Jun 21, 2020 Learn how to Install Microsoft Edge Browser Using ConfigMgr. I have a blog post to explain Deploy Microsoft Edge Patches with SCCM Software Updates. This is all about the chromium based edge version. For more information, see Monitor applications from the System Center Configuration Manager console. End-user experience Users who have PCs that are managed by Configuration Manager and are running Windows 10 of the specified processor architecture, will see a message telling them that they must install the Microsoft Edge Dev application. Mar 01, 2020 If Edge Chromium is their default browser, they can still open legacy websites in Chromium but we can force the website to use the IE engine to address compatibility issues. We will cover this in more detail later but you can easily recognise if a website is being displayed in IE Mode by looking for the IE symbol in the address bar.

  • Add “Microsoft Edge” a product that is sync’ed in your software update point component properties
    • Somewhat confusingly, the product is under the sub-category of “Windows”
  • Then navigate to Software Library > Microsoft Edge Management | All Microsoft edge update
  • Right click and select “:synchronise software updates”
  • You can follow the progress of this process by checking wsyncmgr.log – the same log as you use to follow all software update sync’s
  • At this stage – you can wait for anywhere from 5 minutes (for an environment that has sync’ed relatively recently) to hours (if this is your first sync)
  • Once completed, you can refresh by hitting F5 – and you should see some content update for Edge in the right-hand pane
  • Now right-click on the top node “Microsoft Edge Management” (yes, this is not intuitive) and select “Create Microsoft Edge application”
    • Select and name and a source directory to be used
    • Select a channel, or specific version that you wish to deploy. If you’re not sure here – use “stable” and “latest”
    • Deploy to a collection, select your DP’s etc – all pretty standard stuff here
  • You’ll notice that an application is created for you under the “applications” node – this is different to other software updates which are created as Software Update groups (SUG’s)
  • Personally, i’d prefer to see it all managed under the one node – however, its still a good feature overall – as simplifies deployment of edge greatly – but still allows the admin to go and edit properties of the deployment if… for the invetiable situation of where the Microsoft pre-defined install doesn’t meet your orgs needs

Once completed, as per any deployment – monitor your deployment via the “deployments” area in the monitoring tab.

*Update 28/02/2020 *

When installing, you may get the following error (or similar)

Sccm Edge Update

App install failed.

This is due to the powershell policy…. to get around this, modify the command line from this

powershell -File “.Install-Edge.ps1” -MSIName “MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi” -ChannelID “{56eb18f8-b008-4cbd-b6d2-8c97fe7e9062}”

to this

powershell -executionpolicy bypass -File “.Install-Edge.ps1” -MSIName “MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi” -ChannelID “{56eb18f8-b008-4cbd-b6d2-8c97fe7e9062}”

Symptoms

When creating a new Microsoft Edge application an error resembling the following is displayed in the Microsoft Edge Client Installation Wizard.
