wondering if this is possible...

the security guys have set a policy that makes the usage of Microsoft account impossible.

when I try to deploy an app from the store via sccm, it will open the store and will then ask for a Microsoft account

in which way can we deploy store apps to the endusers without them having a Microsoft account?

Hi

Your only option would be to deploy using Side Loading which requires access to the source files (APPX) files and most developers will not let you have them. Furthermore it might reguire Side Loading keys unless you are using Window 8/8.1 Enterprise (domain joined).

That's how it works. It's a deep link into the store, which requires the users to install the app themselves and therefore requires an microsoft account. The other option is, as Michael says, to have access the source files, which is unlikely to happen, unless it's your own app :-)
