As per the suggested steps, I am unable to implement as "Microsoft Edge" is not available as part of "Administrative Templates".

Create or reuse a Site List XML

All sites that have the element <open-in>IE11</open-in> will now open in IE mode.

Open Group Policy Editor.

Click User Configuration/Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge.

Double-click Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List.

Select Enabled.

Under Options, type the location of website list. You can use one of the following locations:

Hi @Ramprasad

Why do you want to edit Edge settings through script? If you want to manage them in bulk of machines, the recommended way is using group policy. For detailed information, you can refer to this doc: Configure Microsoft Edge policy settings on Windows devices.

For example, if you want to set Edge as default browser, you can use this group policy: DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled. If you want to set IE mode sites, you can refer to this doc: Configure IE mode policies.

Why do you want to edit Edge settings through script?

Need as part of the script because DNS server is different for each use case and limited contol over the server and after usage need to roll back the setting change. All other changes pushed through script and want to this also part of script.

Hi @Ramprasad

If you really need scripts to set the settings, I think you can use batch file to edit corresponding registry key values.
