I'm looking for a method to allow domain users to install software from a specific shared folder. My scenario involves domain admins having full control over the folder, while domain users should be able to install and execute applications without needing to input credentials or face UAC prompts. I'm avoiding using Group Policy Restricted Groups or MSI software deployments since there are about 50 applications that students need. Can anyone suggest a native Windows Server way to achieve this? Appreciate your help, and sorry for any mistakes in my English!

Installing software in shared folders is generally not advisable, especially since most applications require admin rights for installation. Are you really sure that's the best approach? Maybe there's another way?
You might want to explore solutions like Company Portal or Software Center. They allow you to deploy and manage software more effectively for users without giving them broad permissions.
