We're currently testing out EMIE at my company. I'm able to set EMIE sites through Group Policy by creating a .xml file with the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager. This all works great but when an individual sets a site to Enterprise Mode manually through Tools > Enterprise Mode where is this information stored? This is important to our environment because we use Remote Desktop Services/Mandatory Profiles. I'd like these settings to follow users when they work remotely but this is impossible to do so without information as to how it's stored.
Here is what I know so far:
The information is stored in the User Profile but it is not stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. I know this because I've compared a HKCU without a site manually set to EM to a HKCU with a site set to EM.
Resetting IE to default settings after manually applying EM to a site does not clear EM on that site.

Asks the same question but it's not being answered. The OP Jonas_Bson pointed out the location of two folders and files that are created when EMIE is Enabled. These paths are AppData\Local\EmieSiteList & AppData\Local\EmieUserList. Both locations have a container.dat file that are 0KB. Regardless if sites are added / removed from EM the file stays at 0KB and the date created and modified time stamps never change. However, if I set a site manually to EM, delete the container.dat file in the EmieUserList location, relaunch the browser, the site manually set in EM no longer in EM. I created a container.dat file with EM set, and a container.dat file with EM not set. If I replace the container.dat file with EM set with the container.dat file with EM not set, EM is not applied to the page that was manually set. It appears this container.dat file is just some sort of place holder to use saved settings but is not where the settings are saved.
If anyone has found the location to where manually EM settings are stored, please let me know.
