I deploy MS office 2k via GPO but when the user opens for example Outlook
they need to always accept license aggreement. It keeps asking them when
ever they reopen an office app. Any suggestions on how to remove this.

The GPO is assigned under computer configuration.

thanks
 
you need to change your users to power users on each computer. I used to
have the same problem and once I make domain users power users (as opposed
to users), that solved the problem.

go to control panel> user accounts> advanced tab> advanced>groups> power
users> add domain users or everyone or such to that group. Problem solved.
 
I don't know of a way to do it via GPO or through scripting, But i hadn't
really explored that as a possible option. I bet it could be controlled via
a script geared at the registry (which I am sure is where the setting are
stored).

I think at a minimum you might be able to do it via server connecting to
each workstation through computer management. If I have some time, I might
play around with that.

You might consider possing the question to a scripting group. I recommend
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript and ask about setting users as power
users via script. THere might already be info if you did an advanced group
search of google. I often find the answers there.
 
I might throw in that you do the first three steps on the DC and the
remaining steps from a WIN2000 workstation that has the ADMINPAK installed
on it. Furthermore, you can do this using the local 'Power Users' group (
or any of the other local groups ) instead of the 'Administrators' group.

HTH,
