With System Center Configuration Manager 2012, there is a new functionality: Application Catalog. Using Application Catalog, you can deploy an application on user collection, and all users can use this web page to install or request an application.

Add your server in the Intranet Zone
Modify Trusted Site Settings by enabling Automatic login with current user name and password
