We are in the process of testing a migration from Windows 2000 to Windows
2003 Terminal Servers and ran into some existing user accounts with roaming
profiles that would abruptly quit during the logon process. The userenv.log
shows the error:

Newly created Windows 2003 roaming profiles are not an issue. To workaround
this problem we removed Internet Explorer proxy settings from the GPO and set
these settings in a .vbs file.

Has anyone else ran into this issue or know of a fix that addresses this
problem? Thanks.
