SYMPTOMS
When you run the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) Wizard version 5.0 or later on a Windows 2000-based computer and then choose to import your current connections from the appropriate IEAK Wizard screen, some settings may not be imported as expected into your final Internet Explorer package. For example, the dialing options under the properties of your dial-up connection may display the following configuration:
 * The Display progress while connecting check box is selected.
 * The Prompt for name and password, certificate, etc. check box is selected.
 * The Include Windows logon domain check box is not selected.
 * The Prompt for phone number check box is not selected.
 * The Redial if line is dropped check box is not selected.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you import the Windows 2000 Remote Access Service (RAS) settings with IEAK and then install the resulting Internet Explorer package on a Microsoft Windows 95-based or Microsoft Windows 98-based computer. Windows 95 and Windows 98 are unable to understand the imported RAS entries. Because of this, some of the RAS Dial-Up Networking (DUN) import functions in IEAK version 5.0 or later are restricted to prevent problems when you install your customized version of Internet Explorer on any Microsoft operating system platform.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, set the affected DUN settings by using a logon script.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
To view your dialing options, use the following steps:
 * 1) Right-click Internet Explorer, and then click Properties.
 * 2) On the Connections tab, click Settings, click Properties, and then click Options.
