Force page to open in Internet explorer (Not edge/spartan)
It might be impossible before, but it is possible now with IE 11.
The answer is using Enterprise mode for IE11. I believe you find all you need from here: Use Enterprise Mode to improve compatibility
There are two versions of Enterprise Mode schema (v.1 and v.2), it is recommended to use v.2 as suggested by here.
Below is something not easy to be found:
Make Enterprise mode for IE11 work on Windows 7
Current latest version of IE11 on Windows 7 is
- version 11.0.9600.17483 (update version 11.0.20)
To make that IE11 work with Enterprise mode , you must install at least cumulative update - KB3160005 for Windows 7.
Open all intranet sites with IE
You forward all intranet over to IE, by enabling this policy:
Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge\Sends all intranet traffic over to Internet Explorer
This feature works when you input http://site-name format in Edge address bar.
Note: After testing, if URL includes domain name, like http://site-name.contoso.com, Edge will open the site inside itself.

<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <!-- Mimic Internet Explorer 7 --> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=IE8" /> <title>Plania 7.3 Redirector</title> </head> <body> <p>Content goes here.</p> <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="5; url=/PlaniaWS/LoginPage.aspx"> </body> </html>My Company has a old web Product where the old Version requires Internet Explorer 8.
Using compatebility worked just fine, but With Windows 10 and Edge(Spartan) this no longer Works. I have noticed other pages are able to make Edge(Spartan) generate the following Message to the user.
How do you make that happen?
I have tried:
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <!-- Mimic Internet Explorer 7 --> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=IE8" /> <title>Plania 7.3 Redirector</title> </head> <body> <p>Content goes here.</p> </body> </html>Screenshot of the "error Message" that Edge(spartan) can give users.
EDIT: Im aware the this is not a good long term solution, the New Version of the Product does not have any browser dependency. But i want to provide support for the old Version so it Works With updates OS.
