Office 2016 Provided by Dell Won't Work With Standard Windows Domain Users
When I setup a new Windows 10 Pro machine from Dell that comes with the Click2Run pre-installed version of Microsoft Office 2016 Home & Business I run into a problem once I join the domain and try to use Office with a standard (non-administrator) user.
Installation of Office is done normally with a local administrator account during pre-configuration. Then I join the domain (so far I've tried this on a Windows 2008 domain) and login as a standard user. When you open the start menu, no Office icons are available. In fact, I couldn't even find/launch Office manually in Program Files. It's like it just isn't there at all. Login as an administrator on the domain and everything appears and functions normally.
I've been in touch with Dell about this and the best they can tell me is there is some server/GPO setting that needs to be enabled, but I can't find anything about this. It's bizarre. Any help would be appreciated.

Just to be clear: logging on as admin, you see the executables of for example WinWord.exe but logging on as restricted user, you don't see them at the same file System path?
