Well on every server or Windows device there is the Internet explorer and prepairing some server workloads you may need some browser and may need to connect to Azure. using an old browser is always an bad idea.
When setting up a new server what ever version it is I always remove the IE icon and install Msedge this works fine and gives me a more secure feeling.
Opening the Azure portal with IE you will see a warning about non supported browser.
With the option to download the Edge directly
The portal still opens in IE but using some functions are not working sample as anything that will use HTML5

Blocker Toolkit to disable automatic delivery of Microsoft Edge
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-blocker-toolkit
So when you want to auto mate this the following lines could be used to install quickly Microsoft Edge
#Create temp folder
New-Item -Path ‘C:\temp’ -ItemType Directory -Force | Out-Null
#Install Edge
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=2093437" -OutFile ‘c:\temp\MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi’
Invoke-Expression -Command ‘C:\temp\MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi /quiet /norestart’
This will install Microsoft Edge and you can set this in a powershell script and in the GPO that way all new servers will get Microsoft Edge.
