Silent install command for Podman 5.8.3

The exact silent switches the Podman installer accepts, plus a one-line command you can paste into a script, Intune Win32 app, or Configuration Manager package.

One-line silent install (x64, machine scope)

msiexec.exe /i podman-installer-windows-amd64.exe /quiet /norestart WSLCheckbox=0

Run from the directory containing podman-installer-windows-amd64.exe. Download the installer from the Direct link below first. Run an elevated terminal (Run as Administrator) for machine-scope installs.

Architecture	Scope	Type	Silent switches	Source
x64	machine	EXE Burn bundle	Custom: WSLCheckbox=0	Default for Burn (WiX bundle)
arm64	machine	EXE Burn bundle	Custom: WSLCheckbox=0	Default for Burn (WiX bundle)

Declared by publisher means the switches come straight from the winget manifest the publisher (or community maintainer) submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs.
Default for {type} means the manifest doesn't specify silent switches, so the framework's standard switches are shown (e.g. /S for NSIS, /quiet /norestart for MSI).

Frequently asked questions

What is the silent install command for Podman?

Podman uses EXE (Burn bundle). After downloading the installer, run: msiexec.exe /i podman-installer-windows-amd64.exe /quiet /norestart WSLCheckbox=0. The silent install switches are /quiet /norestart.

How do I deploy Podman via Intune or Configuration Manager?

Use winget for the cleanest path: winget install --id RedHat.Podman --exact 5.8.3 --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements. If winget isn't viable in your environment, package the publisher's installer directly using the silent switches above.
