Hi,

I have some Applications that need Admin right to install manually. Our User have no admin right on the client machine.

Now I want to deploy these Application with SCCM. Is that any option or way to install these applications?

    Hi PerserPolis-1732,

    Yes, you can.

    first: System Context Deployment

    Installs silently with SYSTEM privileges

    Best for mandatory deployments

    Steps to configure:

    1. Right-click your application -> Properties -> Deployment Types
    2. Under Installation Behavior:
      • Set: "Installation behavior" > "Install for system"
      • Set: "Logon requirement" > "Whether or not a user is logged on"
      Deploy as "Required" to target devices

    second: User-Initiated Install via Software Center

    Allows user to trigger install while still using admin rights

    Configuration:

    In your Deployment Type > User Experience tab:

    Check "Run installation and uninstall program as administrator"

    Set: "User interaction" > "Normal" (for visible install) or "Silent"

    Deploy as "Available" to make it appear in Software Center

    Verification

    Check AppEnforce.log for installation status

    Test with a small device collection first

    Ensure detection methods are properly configured

    If installations fail, verify

    The SCCM client has network access to distribution points

    The package contains all dependencies (e.g., .NET Framework)

    Best regards,

    Alex

    Hi PerserPolis-1732,

    Hope everything is going well.

    Agree with Alex Burlachenko. Similar thread for your reference.

    SCCM - Deploying application to users - the EXE asking for admin permissions - how to get around this?

    Feel free to contact me if you have any concerns/queries.
