Azure CLI

For unattended Azure CLI deployment on Windows, use the MSI with msiexec /i AzureCLI.msi /quiet /norestart /log C:LogsAzureCLI.log to fully suppress UI and capture install logs, then set the AZURE_CONFIG_DIR environment variable (e.g., via GPO or your deployment tool) to redirect CLI configuration and cache to a managed location for multi-user or roaming-profile environments.

For Windows software distribution, Microsoft documents installing Azure CLI with the MSI by running msiexec.exe /i https://aka.ms/installazurecliwindowsx64 /quiet from an elevated command prompt. For ARM64 devices, use https://aka.ms/installazurecliwindowsarm64 with the same Windows Installer syntax.

After deployment, validate the client with az --version. Microsoft also lists a PowerShell install path using $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/installazurecliwindowsx64 -OutFile .\AzureCLI.msi; Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/I AzureCLI.msi /quiet'.
