Contact iTunes Store Support error when creating new apple ID

This is for a business.  We currently have a combination of over 150 ipads and iphones and will be adding another 20+ per month.
I am currently setting a quantity of ipads up for employees and preconfiguring them with their own itunes account.  In this batch, I was able to set up the first 7 with no problems.  On number 8 I keep hitting a roadblock with the message "Contact iTunes Store Support to complete this transaction". when I try to Create the Apple ID.  I have had this problem before when I hit a limit (although I don't know what that number of ID's was).
These accounts do not have a credit card associated with them.  To create them I am going through the route of being in iTunes with no user logged in.  I go to the App Store and search for iBooks.  Then try to purchase it which pops up the login/create account screen.  I go through the screens adding the email address, password, security questions on the first data page.  Then add none for payment options and add the address.  When I click Create Apple ID I get that error message in the upper right corner.
On all of these accounts I am creating them with the same security questions, address and phone number.  These devices are all based out of the same office so the address and phone numbers will be the same.  I keep the security questions the same as it would be a nightmare tracking all of the different variations for hundreds of accounts.  The only thing different between them is the username/email and the password.
It would be really nice if Apple gave a way to create apple ID's for business purposes in bulk instead of creating them one at a time.  I will be setting up 20 new ipads per month for at least the next year.

Looks like I may have found a work around solution to this problem.  It appears that there is a flag or something on the computer that is not allowing me to create more ID's on that computer.  As of this morning I was still unable to create any more ID's from that system.
I tried creating the same ID on another computer and was able to with no problems.
This does lead to a problem as I am setting up 20+ new ID's a month and typically work from one computer to do so.
I really wish that Apple provided a way for companies to create new Apple ID's in groups using a batch process instead of creating them one at a time.  Or at least allowed you to create a new Apple ID with no credit card associated during the configuration process of the ipads.
