I'm wondering if anyone has had any problems when setting up new computers
that are running Win2000 with Office on them after having multiple cloned
copies of hard drives (group purchase from various companies like Dell,
Micron, etc.).  What happens is, the IT section sets up one HDD and then
sends it back to the company for cloning and installation into each
computer.  The licenses are purchased accordingly, and then shipped for
final set up on the networks.

The problem comes in when local users are setting up their accounts, in that
the system wants us to install the Office software for each person.  When we
do this, we often have to install the software under that user with the
administrator password.  

I was wondering if maybe the problem was that each user needs to have read
permission to the license registry key.  I'm basically looking for ideas to
solve this problem that has been bugging us for quite some time now.  And so
far, nobody has had any ideas as to why this happens. 

This is the link I read in reference to another slightly similar topic, and
it got me wondering...

Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions are welcome.  Thanks all.
