Signing in Power BI Desktop using Internet Explorer 11

[adimira]

Hi,

I installed Power BI Desktop (MAY 2021 RS) on a server that is configured as Report Server. When I try to sign in, I get an Internet Explorer message complaining about https://login.microsoft.online.com not being trusted. I believe we may have some group policies enforced on the servers for IE 11 .

However, Edge is setup as default browser on the server and using this browser I can login to my Microsoft account so I am not sure why Power BI Desktop would try use Internet Explorer instead to sign in.

Is there any way to have Power BI Desktop use the default browser?

Thanks,

Michaela

Hi @adimira ,

What environment are you running Desktop in?

If it is Windows Server 2019, then you can try to refer to the following steps:
1. Reproduce the problem.

2. Turn off "IE Enhanced Security Configuration" in ServerManager.

3. Log in.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
