Your question: If we are running a test in Silent Mode will TestExecute still be able do a GUI based test?
Answer: Yes. I think silent mode is just disabling all questions from TestExecute/TestComplete during your test execution.
However, when you schedule a task for TestExcecute from Windows Task Scheduler, you must schedule it with the option "Run only when user is logged on", or else your test will be failed to interact with GUI.

Hope it helps.
