I'm not sure if this applies to your environment, but there is a
functionality in Windows Servers which allows you to "push" software for
certain users (either by user groups, or indiviudal accounts).
Basically what happens is that when a user logs in, software that is
required is automatically installed from a repository.
This also helps when the computer needs to be replaced. All you do is
get a new computer, add it to the network, and when the user logs in,
all their programs are installed.
The only time I've seen this being used was in a Windows domain network
(ie, using Windows Server 2003 as a PDC). Could be worth a look.
