A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
see BugID: 4774627
Problems trying to load an applet from an https web page when using the mandatory profiles on Windows 2003 (ntuser.man) instead of the typical profiles (ntuser.dat).
This bug 4774627 has been closed and fixed. It seems I hit this bug again with Windows2003 users with mandatory profiles.

Here the display of the Java console of a Windows2003 user in a mandatory profile (Ntuser.man):

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
with a user on Windows2003 Terminal Server with mandatory profile, connect to https://www4.rbc.com/nj00-wcm

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Applet should be loaded
ACTUAL -
Applet is not loaded and the login process cannot be done

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
No errors appear. But if the user tried to log in and the applet is not loaded, Internet Explorer cannot no more be closed normally. Task Manager must be started to end the Internet Explorer process.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
