Best practices for installing Lotus Notes client and managing IDs

Ok. So, what is the common practice for installing Lotus Notes Clients and more importantly, how do I manage Lotus Notes IDs? I have users with Laptops, others with Desktops. I have users that logon to the same PC to access email and databases. I need to manage IDs so ideally there is only ID per user - aside from the original one issued.

I am want to this the cleanest possible way, so I don’t need to visit each desktop to install new Clients. I am looking for some best practices document of what works best and easiest to manage.

Perhaps someone knows of a good reference document or tool?
