We are currently proofing a requirement with our Company 'Serco'. The requirement from Serco is to design a custom screen saver using VB6 and
be able to allow configure / mass installation of BOINC client through our screensaver . The proper questions to our requirements as follows

1) What is the best option of installing BOINC clients on about 4000 pc's accross a Company internet.
2) We would like a single logon which the clients uses to access a defined project which we control.Is this possible for many clients to use one account to a certain project ?
3) Do you have API'S for visual Basic 6 which we can use to configure the client, e.g cpu usage,memory usage and others.
4) We do not want Boinc interfering with our custom screensaver but only to activate on low pc usage.
5) Could we embed the BOINC client in our screensaver with out the need of a full client installation (e.g have only necessary components of BOINC and embed this on our screensaver code)

Many kind thanks

1) the best way is probably to use something like Windows Systems Management Server (SMS) software and deploy it from a server, assuming there is active directory.
