Stamford ITS uses Intune to mange our computers in the labs without a fixed administrator
account. As a result, all software must have support for silent install to be pushed out over Intune. Additionally, all software must function if accessed by non-administrators. Additionally, since a package must be made, 2 weeks notice prior to the need for software is critical to ensure that the software may be installed properly with adequate testing.
