We had the same issue trying to deploy MS office to our students - 
each student who logs in gets the setup assistant.  
To work around it -

We found that MS Office wants to create an identity in Address book
So to resolve the issue - 
we copied the 
_User_/Library/Application Support/AddressBook 
_User_/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
in addition to all the Microsoft files and plists to the home folders of
all the students.

This was done as we set up the defaults for all homefolders through Work
Group Manager.

I hope that helps!
