IE 11 in server 2016 too restrictive

[wildpig1234]

how can I change the internet zone to medium security? it's restricted to high unless I try to customize.

also javascript is disabled. can't sign onto Hotmail

anyway I can enable edge browser in server 2016?

In Server Manager, click "Configure local server", then find "IE Enhanced Security Configuration" on the right, and disable it for your user/administrator. Close and open IE again.

It still locked my internet zone to medium high security. I can change the slider on intranet and trusted sites but not internet

Is edge confirmed not included in server 2016 1607?

I'm going to say it - without really good reasons (such as "I'm using Server as a workstation") ... we don't browse the Internet on servers.

At all.

Even for critical updates.

No, never.

No.

On the off chance you're still with me ... Edge is gone. See this article for info.

reading that post shows that I am not the only one wanting edge and a few other stuffs that comes with windows 10. I hope there will be an addon pack bringing them back. I am running server 2016 right now and I like it as a workstation. The start menu in server is compact and not loaded with all the junks that comes with windows 10. I like the option of being able to add server features if I ever want to as well as the increased robustness.

who says you can't have the best of both worlds . I almost want to say that if someone asks me what is the better windows 10 version than enterprise, I would almost want to say server 2016.

There should be like an optional addon pack for those of us that want to do that!

edit: gave up trying to get ie11 to work. so I have installed chrome browser.

I still think that server 2016 could actually be a better WS windows 10 in a lot of way...

The big issue here is that too many 3rd party software (dell iDRAC/OMSA I am looking at you...) do not work in Edge...

Ugh, browsers don't belong on servers. For that matter, GUI's don't belong there either.

Found a way to add edge and MS store back to LTSB and also server 2016

[SOLVED] Add Microsoft Edge to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB (LTSC)
