Auto Sync Edge Browser using GPO

Question

Is there a way via GPO to automatically enable the sync function in the New Edge via GPO when a domain user logs in?  Our organization is in a hybrid environment.

Thanks

Hi there rnunley, 

I know this was posted quite a while ago but I wanted to provide an update that as of version 86 we've added a ForceSync policy that you might be interested in - Microsoft Edge Browser Policy Documentation | Microsoft Docs 

Note that this policy has a few other configuration requirements as listed in the doc, and that users will not be able to turn sync off if this policy is configured. 

Thanks for using Microsoft Edge, and please let me know if you have any questions! =)

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand the query as you would like to know if it is possible to automatically enable the sync function in the New Edge via GPO when a domain user logs in.

In this scenario, we would recommend you to refer the suggestion in this article:

Sync browser settings

Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM) settings for Microsoft Edge

Configure Microsoft Edge policy settings on Windows

Microsoft Edge Enterprise Sync

However, for a better clarity on your concern, I would suggest you to post your query in TechCommunityforums, where we have experts and support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge on Edge feature to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps.
