I've gone through about 100 postings thus far and not sure what I'm missing.
I have a scenario where 98% of the sites internal are IE8 compatible and in some cases IE7. I was hoping their was an option to default IE 11 to IE 8 Emulation mode but I cannot get it working. I'm having to add each site manually and set it to IE 8 mode when in fact I have 1000 sites that are IE 8 and 3 that need IE 11. There is no common domain suffix.
Am I just missing something simple? I have the latest Site Configuration Tool, I've edited manually but by default if you add nothing it defaults to Edge Mode or IE 11. I have to add the site manually as an exclude.
I've been reading up on XML, looking for a code solution or hack. All workstations and Citrix must be upgraded to IE 11 and Enterprise Mode is the only option.
Is there any possible way to force IE 11 to emulate IE 8 mode by default. Something I can set in the XML file that reverses the default. So, in other words I don't want to add 1000 sites of IE 8 mode but 3 to use IE 11.
I just cannot wrap my head around there not being this option.
Example: The two sites below run in IE 8 mode. I want everything to run in IE 8 mode and not have to add but only add for any other exclusion. Otherwise, this is going to be a disaster of a project.
