Complete guess, but I would think that user GPOs only apply to interactive or terminal services logons, not service logons. I could well be utterly wrong though.

Domain-member workstation (W7 SP1 or Wxp SP3). Domain-member user account. User account is configured to logon as a service on the workstation (set up as a service account). When the workstation is started up, do user-based GPO settings apply to the service account when it "logs on"? We have a very specific need to set the proxy configuration for a service account, but not for the computer as a whole (when no user is logged on), so we can't use proxycfg/netsh. Trying to set this using GPO "User Config\Policies\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenance" section, like we do for our other user accounts. If we log on interactively with the account, the settings show up. If you let the account log on as a service and view the settings remotely via regedit, they are not being set. Is this the way it is supposed to work? I can't seem to find a good reference for this scenario. Would GPPs maybe work better?
