Hi,
I have created some applications in SCCM 2012 but they don't appear in the Software Center on the workstations/laptops. When clicking on "find additional applications from the application catalog" they do appear and i can install/uninstall them. When installing
they appear in Software Center.
How can i solve this so they appear in the Software Center? Thnx!
Applications not visible in Software Center
Loading Software center returned error code 0x80041001
I am able to push the agent to computers with no problem and they even populate my customizations (color and company name). The agents come up as installed in the admin console. But every time I try to load the software center on a computer I get this error; “There is a problem showing the current status.” Error code 0x80041001 (-2147217407)
If I click within the agent ‘Find additional applications from the application catalog’ it brings me to an HTTPS site with the packages ready to install. Is there a log I can check out? I am a bit puzzled by this… what am I missing?
deploy package - not visible for test-client...
hi
I've tried following this guide :
to allow a program to run with admin rights... but I cannot get the package to deploy to my test-client.. is there something special you need to do when deploying a package compared to an application?
the package is deployed to device not to user..
Kindest regards, Martin
Application deployment

SCCM 2012 Software Center is empty after a deployment.
Hello,
I have a very basic SCCM configuration. Just one SCCM server and one SCCM client machine. I'm trying to test various SCCM 2012 functionality. Currently, I'm testing the application deployment features. I've created an application on the SCCM server (just 7-zip for now), using an MSI.
So, now my Software Library shows "7-Zip 9.20 (x64 edition)." Great. Click->Deployment->Deploy. I have one user collection containing my domain admin account (for testing purposes) and one device collection containing my test VM (with the client of course).
So, I choose to deploy to the device collection. I click through a bunch of menus, eventually it says everything is successful and I close the wizard.
I log onto the machine (as the aforementioned domain admin account) and open Software Center. It's empty! What?
I go back, click through the deployment wizard for the user collection (that the domain admin is a part of). Back on the machine: open Software Center again. It's empty! Again!
I'm a software engineer, not an "IT" person (I say there's a distinction to be made there), so I'm most definitely doing something wrong somewhere, or getting something confused.
Can someone explain what's happening? Shouldn't 7-Zip now show up under my Software Center?
Thanks, and sorry for the noob question!
starting to process content
We have one application that simply won't distribute. It's a test environment, with the DP on the Site Server. SQL is on a separate box.
The only thing that distmgr.log shows is that the notification package is received, and it starts processing. Then, repeated "Package xxx is already in queue" and "Package xxx is found in active queue".
Content status is "Starting to process content". There's nothing in any of the other logs...
We have created additional applications since that application was created, and the content distributed successfully.
The only thing that is different about this application is the source. The content source folder is only 160GB.
My question is this: can the content specified in source path impact the content distribution? My understanding is that the distribution is unaware and unrelated to the nature of the content itself. Is there anything about the content being distributed that can inhibit the distribution process?
Move existing packages to new hardware on a SCCM 2012 DP, without having to copy across the WAN.
I have several servers that are SCCM 2012 SP1 DP's, and those servers are being decommissioned, and new hardware is being built to replace them. How do i migrate all my existing packages from the old hardware to the new hardware, without having to copy everything across our WAN again? It would be like using the PreLoadPkgOnsite.exe tool in SCCM 2007. I am looking at the Prestage Content feature in SCCm 2012, but it looks like the pkgx files are created on the site server, and you still have to copy across the WAN to the remote DP. Is there a process in SCCM 2012 that avoids having to copy over the WAN again, like there was in SCCM 2007?
Thanks, Rich
Update Content - Delta or whole Content Location?
Hi,
i assumed that the default behaviour of Update Content will identify deltas and transfer only those. In the current customer environment the opposite is done. The whole content location is transferred regardless if i changed only one ini file.
Is this by design?
cheers, Daniel
"Installed Software" is blank in Software Center
Hello all,
We have made a couple of applications available in the Application Catalog. When the user installs some of the applications they are not showing in the "Installed Software" tab in the Software Center.
Some applications do show up, others don't. These are all applications, not programs or updates.
Hope you can help, thanks in advance.

SCCM self-service portal
Hi,
I understood that self-service portal allow user to install the application without needing local administrator privilege. I'd like to know, is it applicable for workgroup computer users too?

What is the Best practice to convert a current GPO Software deployment into a SCCM Package?
Hello,
What is the best practice to convert a current GPO Software deployment (in AD) into a SCCM Package?
Below is a screenshot of the current GPO settings.
Should I delete the GPO Software (which should uninstall it) Then deploy the new SCCM Package? Or the other way around? I believe when it is uninstalled it should keep the settings file in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\KeePass
Thank You, Joe
allow program to run with admin rights always for all users
Hi
how do I set a program to run with administrative rights?
I have a clickonce application (appref-ms) which requires admin rights at least the first time it's launched for each user that launches it..
I've tried creating a package in sccm with no source or content that points to the shortcut.. but it doesn't seem to work.. I just get an error that the script could not be run at this time..
is there no way I can allow this shortcut to run with admin rights?
Kindest regards, Martin
Distribute packages to private laptops
In our organisation staff members (teachers) can install applications/packages with software center on devices that are known in our active directory.
Is it possible to make this possible for students who bring their own laptop (and are known users in our active directory) to install applications/packages as well?
Software Uninstalls and Application Settings deployment
We’re currently in the processes of implementing SCCM 2012. I’m looking at this from an application deployment perspective; currently we use Group Policy exclusively for application deployment and configuration. I’ve got a couple of questions that I hope someone might be able to answer.
Software uninstalls
Currently with Group Policy we create a number of policies centrally and allow our delegated administrators to apply them to their own OUs to install software. When unlinking the policies the software subsequently uninstalls. This is particularly useful for licensed software whereby we only allow members of specific AD groups to ‘read/apply’ the policy. Therefore if the software is installed and then they’re removed from the group, the software would uninstall at next reboot. I’ve looked into replicating this functionality with SCCM but can’t see exactly how. I understand I need to create two separate applications; an install and a uninstall. I can then restrict deployment of this application to a collection that only contains members of an AD group which works fine. However for the uninstall, I could restrict this to members who are *not* in the AD group, but this won’t work in our environment. For numerous reasons we may have the same software installed on PCs by methods other than SCCM and we don’t want SCCM to uninstall it from these. Ideally what I’d like to do is create a query to say “if the application has been installed via SCCM, and the PC has subsequently fallen out of scope of the collection (been removed from the group), then uninstall the application”. Is this possible?
Application settings
Secondly, with group policy we package application and relevant settings such as registry keys, and settings from ADMX templates into the same policies. I understand we can deploy simple settings from SCCM such as registry keys, however we still like the extensibility of Group Policy ADMX templates. Is there a recommendation of how to configure application deployment and settings deployment in tandem? Should we do away with group policies in favour of trying to package all settings manually as registry keys with SCCM? If so this seems a backwards-step as the configuration options acheiuevable with Group Policy are vast. Is there a way to tally up SCCM and GP so that if an application is deployed to a PC, then the GP settings relevant to that application are also applied?
Hope this all makes sense.
Cheers,
Phil

App catalog URL to specified Application
Does anyone know if its possible to craft a URL for the Application catalog that would direct a user to a specific Application (i.e. a search filter)? I know zilch about Silverlight programming but as I understand it this would have to be programmed on the backend to allow parameters.
Thanks!
SCCM 2012 and own software deployment framework?
Hi,
We currently have an SCCM 2007 server with an inhouse developed deployment framework. This framework deploys software granularely: extended logging, possibility to copy files, import regkeys, remove shortcuts which are not needed etc.
I wonder what you guys use in other companies: out-of-the-box SCCM 2012 deployments? Also an own framework?
I just wonder if it is worth the effort keeping a deployment framework next to SCCM 2012 and if there are no better ways then the setup we currently have. Thanks for your input.

Deploying Application til user collection - dosen't work with new collections, but works fine with older collections ?
We have App catalog working fine, and putting a user in a collection offers the software that are deployed to the collection instantly :-)
Creating a new user collection (with direct based members) works fine, but deploying an application to the new collection - dosen't result in the application showing up in the app. catalog for the user. :-( not so great.
The pattern in our setup seems to be something like this:
Old collections (maybe created before CU1) works if i add a deployment of software or add a user to the collection.
New collections (created the last two weeks) wil not work, the deployment wizard works fine, the user can be added to the collection, but the application dosen't ever show up in the application center.
---------------
We have tried removing the app.center and app.service roles and reapplied the two roles - and the problem is stille the same.
All the logfiles looks fine, and we are running SCCM 2012 SP1 CU1 on both the primary site server and the server holding the Appl.center roles.
Any great ideas to what to try next ?

SCCM 2012 SP1 CU1: delivery of large App-V package to client results in Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program.
Hi,
We've got an issue where large App-V packages fail to install from the app catalog, however if you install them manually, running exactly the same command that SCCM uses the package is added without issue. e.g.:
ErrorMessage=Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program.FullyQualifiedError ID =System.OutOfMemoryException,Microsoft.AppV.AppvClientPowerShell.AddAppvPackageContext:Severity=WarningHostName=ConsoleHostHostVersion=3.0Host ID =96138c86-1713-4774-b231-027a57e28ad3EngineVersion=3.0Runspace ID =82791baf-5bd0-412b-af81-e4c3a3b63ae3Pipeline ID =1CommandName=Add-AppvClientPackageCommandType=CmdletScriptName=CommandPath=SequenceNumber=15User= xxx\SYSTEMShell ID =Microsoft.PowerShellUserData:
This is the command used by SCCM (from appenforce.log):
Executing Command line: "C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe" -ExecutionPolicy Bypass import-module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client\AppvClient\AppvClient.psd1'; Add-AppvClientPackage -Path 'C:\Windows\ccmcache\o\MathLab MatLab r2012b_2_3.appv' -DynamicDeploymentConfiguration 'C:\Windows\ccmcache\o\MathLab MatLab r2012b_2_3_DeploymentConfig.xml' with system context
If I open a PS command window as myself and run exactly the same command, copy and pasted from that log, there is no issue. The app appears and is usable.
What could be the difference between SCCM executing this with the SYSTEM account causing it to run out of memory?
Thanks
Deploying app-v 5 applications & App-V 5.0 SP1 client returning: "+++ A supported AppV client is not installed."
Hello All,
I'm running ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 CU1.
I've created 2 applications: 1 of the type App-V 4 and 1 of the type App-v 5.
On my client I installed the App-V 5.0 SP1 client and am assuming this can play both types (4 & 5).
Is my assumption correct or not?
Can a 5.0 SP1 client run both App-V 4 & 5 packages?
Next to that, when the user to which I've deployed the packages logs in, no icons are displayed.
I check the AppDiscovery.log and found following entries:
"+++ A supported AppV client is not installed."
This is odd because the documentation clearly statess that APP-V 5.0 SP1 client is supported:
