Refresh Enterprise Mode Site List

If there is a new version of the Enterprise Mode Site List (XML) available, how is the update process in Edge C to that? In MSIE we had to wait 65 seconds after start of MSIE and in Edge there is an ...

Thanks. It is kind of making that part of the logon process for 3000 people that gets tricky.  Any chance there is a command line version of that we could work into a Logon script? Thanks again, Jeff Shilpa_Subramanian

Did anyone ever provide command line syntax to force and update ?
I am getting this issue with Chromium Edge, where I can see the client fetch the sitelist.xml but appears to do nothing about reading it for a long time then Bingo!, it suddenly opens in IE mode, after closeing & reopening many times.
Not a great experience after we announce the latest and greatest browser.

    I have to ask this as well. I'm trying to figure out how to consistently force an update, clear a cache, synch everybody, whatever for all the users upon a site List update. And how does update number in the Site List xml play into this? I'm concerned about different Site List version numbers floating about in registries across the enterprise. Here is a synopsis of my testing...


    1. Add www.google.com via Enterprise Site Mgr v2.. That puts +1 on the version number in the Site List XML and appears to eventually load www.google.com in IE mode. (version number=4)


    2. Manually add www.msn.com to the Site List XML in notepad, not changing
    version number and nothing ever happens. The new site, www.msn.com, is never loaded in IE mode. I let that sit overnight, same thing in the morning, no joy for www.msn.com in IE mode. (version number=4)


    3. I decremented (-1) on the version number in Site List xml, www.msn.com
    seems to load in IE mode after some delay. Still not sure about
    that 65 second thing. (version number=3)


    4. I put version number back +1 in notepad, added www.yahoo.com to the Site List, and www.yahoo.com eventually and random;y loads (Bingo!) loads in IE mode. (version number=4)

    5. I decremented (-1) version number with www.yahoo.com and it eventually loads www.yahoo.com in IE mode. (version number=3)

     

     

    In edge://compat/enterprise....hitting the Force update button does not care about version number and everything works automatically. So I'm just trying to get a feel for how the update and synchronizing is supposed to happen in the background. It's just seems so inconsistent.

      Ok. I think I see how the updates propagate "consistently" and the 65 seconds thing. I closed edge, reopened to edge://compat/enterprise, kept it open and after approximately 65 seconds, the site list and version number updated. It apparently doesn't matter the version number. So...

      update Site List XML

      close Edge

      open Edge and after 65 seconds, the Site List updates automatically.

      I was getting inconsistencies as far as never closing the Edge window/session while updating the Site List...then sometimes closing it and finding the Bingo! after 65 seconds, etc., etc. Thank you.
