Config Mgr 2012 Application Catalog: Add & configure roles


Back to Application Catalog menu

Back to ConfigMgr 2012 menu


In order to use the Application Catalog, two roles must be added to your Config Mgr Primary Site Server.

Application Catalog Web Service point
Application Catalog website point

Navigate to Administration > Site Configuration > Sites and right click on your site


Select "Add Site System Roles"


The "Add Site System Roles Wizard" commences. Verify the server name and Site code and click Next to continue.


I don't need to configure a proxy this time (if you do enter the details here). Click Next.


Select the two required roles. 


Choose the default settings for the Application Catalog web service point.


Review the settings for the Application Catalog website point. Note the yellow exclamation mark drawing our attention to some required client settings. We will review these later.


Enter your Organisation name and choose a "website theme colour".


Review the summary and click Next to continue.


Select close to exit the wizard. You can monitor the progress of the installation by reviewing the following log files.


awebsvcMSI.log - see that the Application Web Service has been successfully installed.



awebsctl.log file shows the Application Catalog web service point coming online

(AWEBSVC's http check returned hr=0)

Now configure the Computer Agent Settings.

Navigate to Administration > Site Configuration > Client Settings and open the Properties of your client settings.



Click "Set Website" to configure the Default Application Catalog website point

Enter in the format - http://ServerName:80

Enter your Organisation Name and review the other settings that we previously discussed.

    1. This snippet from a log files doesn't help. What are you trying to do? What errors are you seeing?

  2. Hi Gerry. Thanks for your helpful walkthrough. I have been struggling to config the App catalog web services and website and it returnes the following errors:

    Call to HttpSendRequestSync failed for port 80 with status code 500, text: Internal Server Error SMS_AWEBSVC_CONTROL_MANAGER 22/08/2014 4:40:01 PM 6604 (0x19CC)

    And then when I try to access the web, it successfully authenticate the user, but the web page comes back as: Can not connect to Application Server.
    I don't have any problem in receving the apps via Software Center

    1. Internal Server Error Status = 500 is a very generic error and is not useful. I recommend you remove the roles and start again.

  3. Hi Gerry,

    my logs show that the site roll installed correctly. I can see the catalog via the browser, but for some reason the Application Catalog web service point's status is critical. There are no components that are marking critical for this site system. Any ideas would be helpful.

    1. You need to look at the status messages for more details.
