Ken- Unfortunately, I've not seen any good documentation yet on this. It is a mess, frankly. IE Maintenance policy is one of the buggier pieces of policy I've seen, which doesn't help the situation. XP, SP2 then introduced all these additional admin. Template policy settings for IE and so you have to pick through which you can set in which area. My advice is to start with the Admin. Template settings--and try and do everything there. Ignore IE Maintenance unless you absolutely positively have to set it there.
It doesn't help much now, but the next version of the Server 2003 Reskit (should be out in May) will include a whole book dedicated to Group Policy and that will include a chapter on IE policy management.

There are two branches of the "User Configuration" that contain IE related policy. There is "Windows Settings, Internet Explorer Maintenance" where you edit policy by exporting your current IE policy. There is also "Administrative Templates, Internet Explorer" where you define values directly. There appears to be a great deal of overlap between the two areas. However, making a change in one area does not show up in the other. Does anyone know where I can find some decent documentation on IE group policy? I asked our TAM this question, and his answer was "does not seem to exist".
