Following the suggestion of Timothy Good from 22-Oct-2014, we
implemented IE11 Enterprise Mode when we upgraded all of our Windows 7
machines from IE9 and IE10. I had an entry in the xml file for
secportal.ebsp.msu.edu in the <emie> section so it would run in IE8 mode.
With the new EBS, rolled out to a subset of users at this point,
Enterprise Mode gets in the way. I tried removing
secportal.ebsp.msu.edu from the xml file, but several machines did not
recognize this change. I updated the xml file using the separately
downloaded utility Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to explicitly
configure it to run in IE11 mode, which seems to have solved our
problem. An xml file is all you need to implement Enterprise Mode,
because the settings are in Group Policy. Here is our current
CompatViewSites.xml:
<rules version="2">
<emie>
<domain exclude="false">jobs.msu.edu</domain>
<domain exclude="false">docview.ais.msu.edu</domain>
<domain exclude="false">bi.ebsp.msu.edu</domain>
<domain exclude="false">fin.ebsp.msu.edu</domain>
<domain exclude="false">mm.ebsp.msu.edu</domain>
<domain exclude="false">cga.msu.edu</domain>
<domain exclude="false">webapps.usd.msu.edu</domain>
<domain exclude="false">rice.ebsp.msu.edu</domain>
<domain exclude="false">jboss.ebsp.msu.edu</domain>
</emie>
<docMode>
<domain docMode="edge">secportal.ebsp.msu.edu</domain>
</docMode>
</rules>
Apparently, Microsoft started using the browser name Edge before
Microsoft Edge came out with Windows 10.
