Configuration Manager 2012 RC: Configure Software Catalogue portal and publish applications

Cross Posted from PTS Blogs: https://blogs.technet.com/b/ptsblog/archive/2011/12/20/configuration-manager-2012-rc-configure-software-catalogue-portal-and-publish-applications.aspx

The Software Catalogue portal is a cool new feature in System Center Configuration Manager 2012. Administrators can publish applications for end users, and optionally they can enforce authorization before actual deployment of the application. I tried to configure the feature in the release candidate of Configuration Manager 2012 and captured screenshots at each important step.

Before you start to configure the Application Catalogue, look for prerequisites at the following TechNet link

That done, you have the website ready but you still need to publish applications for users.

1. Publish Application to Catalogue, from application properties > Application Catalog tab.

2. Deploy application to all users. Make it available and (optionally) set "approval required" if users requests application .

If an application requires approval before deployment, the administrator will see a pending approval request under Application Management. Administrators can either approve or deny the deployment request and also write comments.
