Are you using Active Directory, or a Windows NT domain?
Do you have to roll out the Oracle Client onto the PC's, or just the server?
These things will change my mind on what to recommend

Switch to Redhat and kickstart all the machines, Redhat supports Oracle and there's no need for a virus scanner. Also you can control everything remotely.
That is if your users are happy not to use Outlook

We use Microsoft SMS for software distribution, as well as other admin guff. Might be a bit overkill for 12 workstations though.

In that case, create a group in the Active Directory applied to the 12 PC's, and deploy the software using either Kix scripts or Microsoft SMS.
As Dog Pants said, Microsoft SMS is a bit overkill, and to be honest I wouldn't go to all that bother over creating kix scripts and so on, I would just install them manually
