Office 2003 EULA problem

[Yeimi]

I recently set up an office with a new Dell server running 2000 Small
Business Server and 12 workstations (new Dell Dimensions), each with
their own licenced copy of Office 2003 Basic Edition. This was my
first time dealing with Office 2003 on the job. After joining the new
workstations to the domain, I logged on as administrator to set up
outlook with the exchange server. I activated each copy. Now, when
users log in and try to use any of the Office 2003 suite applications,
the EULA agreement pops up every time. They hit agree and continue
working. The next time they open an application, the EULA again
appears. As you can imagine, this is quite annoying for all involved.
Since this install, I have installed Office 2003 BE on numerous other
machines without seeing this issue. I searched Google Groups and had
no luck finding others with this issue. Does anyone have any ideas
why this is happening? All I can think of is that since the version
came preinstalled with the Dell machines, they are somehow configured
differently than when I install a new version of the suite myself.
Since I have already activated the products, I would prefer not to
reinstall the machines again.

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Log into the workstation as the administrator and accept the EULA. Does
that help?

I did accept the EULA while logged in as administrator. On each
machine. That's the part that baffles me.

Hi, Yeimi,

My apologies; you did mention that. Have you contacted Dell? They are
ultimately responsible for the OEM copies that they provide with their
equipment. Their support line should be able to help you resolve the issue.
