SYMPTOMS
When you apply an Internet Explorer Maintenance Group Policy object (GPO), some values in the Internet settings registry key may be deleted, even if the Connection Settings section of the GPO is set to Do not customize Connection Settings. Because of this issue, the Dial whenever a network connection is not present option may not be set correctly when you attempt to do so on Microsoft Windows 2000-based workstations.



CAUSE
This issue is caused by a coding error.
