New tab logo - GPO

Hi,

 

I am currently trying to set up GPOs for our environment. However, I can't seem to figure out how should be the NewTabPageCompanyLogo policy used.

 

I got to the point where my JSON looks like this:

 

{
   "default_logo": {
      "url":"https://www.prefix.eu/img/logo-velke.png",
      "hash":"94147173cb122c3d19e7cc6884d3e0194d5272d43f43ba493d2513f51e06e456"
   }
}

 

 

 

and basically, this is what I minify and paste into the GPMC:

 

 

 

The problem is that Edge does not show the logo on the new tab and in edge://policy/ shows error state:

 
Value { "default_logo": { "hash": "94147173cb122c3d19e7cc6884d3e0194d5272d43f43ba493d2513f51e06e456", "url": "https://www.prefix.eu/img/logo-velke.png" } }
Key url: value is required. Key hash: value is required.

 

 

 

We are using version 78.0.276.20 Beta.

Any directions what I am doing wrong?

      ecull1315 et al - thank you for trying out GPO for new tab logo in Microsoft Edge. After some internal testing it looks like we need to make additional changes for this to work properly. 

       

      Thank you again for the feedback and participation.

        Any progress on this? We'd like to deploy the new Edge company wide as soon as possible and this would be the cherry on top if it was working correctly.

    Looks like this is deprecated.  The ADMX policy states:

    DEPRECATED: This policy is deprecated. It is currently supported but will become obsolete in a future release.
We are deprecating this policy because it doesn't work as expected and recommend that it not be used.

     

    Womp womp.

      Bumping this

       

      {
      "default_logo": {
      "hash": "5A75F0D5C6BEB34F772C35B1CC3FD05477D382FBCBB6F845E5926C20F14DD035",
      "url": "*logo-url*"
      },
      "light_logo": {
      "hash": "5A75F0D5C6BEB34F772C35B1CC3FD05477D382FBCBB6F845E5926C20F14DD035",
      "url": "*logo-url*"
      }
      }

       

      Same issue i still get the Microsoft logo on the new tab. The policy page says that it's "okay" but it still doesn't work.

       

      Any help please. 🙂

      I am having the same issue.  The GPO looks correct and it shows up in edge://policy, but no logo is showing.

    Has anyone figured out how to make the uploaded logo have a higher priority than the one you upload in the 365 Admin center. 

     

    It seems to be that it's that logo that is used and not the one i used with the GPO.

      It always shows the Microsoft logo dispute our portal being branded with our logo AND the policy being set.

        LBXComputers Yea if you use "Focused". It did switch the top left one for me in "Informational" or "Inspirational" view, but i'm thinking that's more to the fact that i'm signed in with my 365 account now since it actually uses the image uploaded from the Admin portal. 

         

        The GPO does not seem to work..

    matyaskoc We're currently on 80.0.361.62.  Just tried to set it up, and it didn't work -- ended up here. 

     

    Learned about the "edge://policy/" shortcut, and upon checking it, "NewTabPageCompanyLogo" has an Error: "This policy isn't used anymore."

     

    So it's officially been depreciated.
