Override IE Local Intranet Settings

Question

The website that I am developing is added to the list of local intranet sites in IE browsers.

enter image description here

Then in compatibility view settings the check box for the "display intranet sites in Compatibility View" is checked.

enter image description here

Problem, the site that I am developing right now is displayed as compatibility view in IE browsers (For very obvious reason).

What I need to do, is to find a way not to display the site in compatibility view.

What I tried so far is adding the below header but to no avail.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

and

<httpProtocol>
  <customHeaders>
    <clear />
    <add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=edge" />
  </customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>

Removing the said IE browser settings is not an option since there are 300,000 computers to modify around the world (Lucky for me).

Question, Is there a way we can override this settings so that my site will not render in compatibility mode?

I can't reproduce the issue..... I am using a published web site on my localhost (http://localhost/expression.local ) where I have added localhost to the Intranet security zone.....are you testing from a VS proxy? localhost:port ? you may need to publish the site for testing purposes. File>Properties to determine which IE security zone a page maps to f12>Emulation tab to determine how the emulation mode is established. go to https://www.modern.ie/en-us/f12?url=http%3a%2f%2flocalhost%2fexpression.local%2f&mode=Edge for more detailed instructions. — Rob Parsons, May 07 '15 at 01:31
Try adding *.google.com in the intranet security zone, you can replicate the issue. — Pinoy2015, May 07 '15 at 04:16

There is another thread which has a similar solution to your second one as the answer, but with a little bit extra

For IIS, just add the below code to the web.config. Worked for me with IE9.

<system.webServer>
  <httpProtocol>
    <customHeaders>
      <clear />
      <add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=edge" />
    </customHeaders>
  </httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>

Use this tag, and it will disable the compatibility view in most of the IE Versions: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9; IE=8; IE=7; IE=EDGE" />
