REST call to commitsBatch is failing with: "Microsoft Internet Explorer's Enhanced Security Configuration is currently enabled on your environment...."

When I run this with system.debug=True, I get the following error message on the step:

##[debug]POST https://dev.azure.com/MYORG/90b82c25-01be-489a-8d49/_apis/git/repositories/a4a02d21-ba3c-4fc5-b90b/commitsBatch?api-version=4.1 with -1-byte payload

Microsoft Internet Explorer's Enhanced Security Configuration is currently enabled on your environment. This enhanced level of security prevents our web integration experiences from displaying or performing correctly.

I'm not sure if I will be able to change this configuration on my company's build agents. Is there possibly something else I can do, or that I'm missing?

hI @puremcc,
If you now link the work items is it works? or you get the same error in another API call?

[puremcc]

The log above was from a run where I had the Link work items option checked (True).
I have now tried running with the Link work items option unchecked (False), and I no longer see any error, but the PR still does not get created.

Some additional info:
My pipeline is running in a separate project ('Project A') from the repo where I'm trying to make the PR ('Project B'). However, I have made sure to grant permission to the 'Project A' build service to 'Contribute to Pull Requests' on the repo in 'Project B'.

Thanks for the info.
Can you run the pipeline with system.debug = true and share here the logs?

After Mike shared the logs with me we noticed it's was a permissions issue.

Thanks @shayki5 for you help and prompt email responses! Great extension. Very valuable for me and my client.

Note to others who may run into a similar issue: you may also need to grant the build service account Contributor permission on the target project in addition to the target repo.
