The user will just have to make a request for a specific software (usually in the ticketing system or in the application catalog if implemented) and it will be automatically installed on their machine. This is done through silent installation. These configuration management tools help to automate the integration of application packages in the infrastructure with the corresponding install parameters and then deploy them to the user’s machine. This is why we will see Configuration Management tools like Microsoft SCCM (MECM), Intune, Ivanti Landesk, Empirium Matrix42 often being used in Enterprise Environments. We can assume that in Enterprise environments, some users would be able to install the app, but the majority may not have the technical knowledge or administrative privileges to install software by themselves. It wouldn't make sense to use a CD/USB stick and manually install the application by yourself because it will take ages. Imagine a company with more than 1000 users and computers where you need to install an application on all machines but most of the users are not necessarily tech-savvy. Silent installations are often the most useful within Enterprise environments. This includes the command line for KeePass silent install, Uninstall, and Product Code.
Where and why do we need an application to be silently installed? After this was reported and assigned a CVE-ID, users asked the development team behind KeePass to add a confirmation prompt before silent database exports like the one triggered via a. The following table gives you all the details required for the KeePass Deployment tool using SCCM.
