Multipass – Command-line note

Use winget for silent deployment of Multipass across Windows endpoints: winget install --id Canonical.Multipass -e --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements. This suppresses UI prompts and automates installation without user interaction, ideal for enterprise scripts via Intune or SCCM. Verify success with multipass version post-install.

Multipass – Command-line note

Deploy Multipass silently on Windows using winget for enterprise automation: winget install --id Canonical.Multipass -e --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements. After installation, configure the virtualization driver non-interactively with multipass set local.driver=virtualbox (requires VirtualBox installed) or rely on default Hyper-V.
