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... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;141373 Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions are welcome.
