Re: Office XP EULA with WSUS

Hi Steve,

If deploying Office from an Office Admin Point
(http://microsoft.com/office/ork/)
you'd generally use a volume license key when
creating the Admin point and accept the license
agreement on behalf of the organization at that point.

Some of the options for updating are discussed here
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011525751033.aspx
Updating an installed product should not normally require
an additional acceptance of the EULA.

In the case of individual user acceptance the acceptance
attempts to write to the registry. You could distribute
the appropriate registry key, but setup uses elevated privileges.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011363071033.aspx
(note that Windows 2000 was the 'current version' when Office XP
was released, but the same 'rules' still basically apply.

The Office EULA continues to re-appear for all users who only reside in the
Users group. I know I can log in as Administrator and accept the agreement,
but this is not an acceptable option when you have an entire network of PCs
displaying the EULA.

How can I accept the EULA for all machines through a centrally managed
solution?

The clients get their updates from the WSUS server not the Microsoft servers.

This question was also asked by "Alex" on 7/13/05, but has not been answered.

Thanks for any suggestions.
