Step-by-Step Guide

Below the video, include a detailed guide.

Overview

We will use Administrative Templates in Microsoft Intune to deploy a custom configuration profile for Edge. Administrative Templates allow you to configure Group Policy-like settings for managed devices. These templates support over 3,000 settings for applications like Windows 10, Office, and browsers such as Chrome and Edge.

Steps to Configure the Edge Start & Home Page

Access Intune

Go to Intune.
Navigate to Devices > Windows > Configuration.
Click Create > New Policy.

Set Up the Profile

Select the Platform as Windows 10 and later.
Choose the Profile type as Settings catalog.
Click Create, then provide a Name and Description for the policy.
Click Next.

Add Configuration Settings

Click Add settings.
Search for Microsoft Edge > Startup, home page and new tab page.
For this example, we'll use the locked configuration instead of the settings with "(User)" at the end to prevent users from overriding our policy.
