Add Microsoft Edge to macOS devices using Microsoft Intune

  • Artikkeli

Before you can deploy, configure, monitor, or protect apps, you must add them to Intune. One of the available app types is Microsoft Edge version 77 and later. By selecting this app type in Intune, you can assign and install Microsoft Edge version 77 and later to devices you manage that run macOS. This app type makes it easy for you to assign Microsoft Edge to macOS devices without requiring you to use the macOS app wrapping tool. To help keep the apps more secure and up to date, the app comes with Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU).

Important

This app type offers developer and beta channels for macOS. The deployment is in English (EN) only, however end users can change the display language in the browser under Settings > Languages.

Note

Microsoft Edge version 77 and later is available for Windows 10 as well.

Prerequisites

  • The macOS device must be running macOS 10.14 or later before installing Microsoft Edge.
