Yes, one way you can do it is by using Group Policy Objects to deploy applications to your users with a software installation policy.

This GPO feature allows you to deploy an MSI or MSP package to either users or computers on domain-joined machines. The GPO can be assigned to an OU, a domain, or an Active Directory site. It also provides a way to remove packages that were deployed with the policy.
