Internet Explorer 11 Enterprise Mode configuration

Windows has a capability to manage Internet Explorer 11's compatibility settings via central management. This is known a Enterprise Mode and is documented at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/what-is-enterprise-mode. This allows enterprises that have internal web applications that have known compatibility issue with Edge of Internet Explorer 11 to adjust the compatibility and security settings as needed to make that specific site work. These settings are managed in a central XML file that is pushed via GPO or local policy.

There is a sample XML structure provided to follow for configuring this which is nice, but recently Microsoft released an Enterprise Mode Site List Manager tool and also an Enterprise Mode Site List Portal on GitHub. The tool is designed for relatively small implementations and the portal requires some infrastructure such as SQL and Active Directory to manage properly.
