One downside with Configuration Manager 2012 compared to Configuration Manager 2007 is that applications deployed to users, only made available, will not give a notification on the endpoint. This caused some initial confusion that needed a blog-post to clarify the matter – as all admins were used to a single view on the client what could be installed.
Microsoft created the Application Catalog, and for newer devices (mobile and Windows 8+) they made a secondary interface called the Company Portal (read about deployment at Justin Chalfants blog). However, none of these give a notification to the end user if an application is only made available.
Therefore I created a script in PowerShell that can just do that – ping the Application Catalog – check if there are new apps, and if so notify the user.
How does it work?
A scheduled task is setup
It starts the application 15 minutes after logon (to avoid excessive workload..), and then runs every 15 minutes.
After that, the workflow is something like;
Connect to Application Catalog
- If no previous check is completed, gather a list.No notification is given.
- If a previous check is completed, compare it.
- No difference? Do nothing
- New applications available? Notify the user
- Maintain a notification in the system tray (which directs the user to the Application Catalog if clicked)
- Applications removed? Update the list, no notification to the end-user
For each check there is a log file within the users %TEMP% called appsnotify app.log. Sample output;
How does it look?
Like this;
How do I deploy it?
MSI-file to install it
To install it use the MSI file with the property APPCATALOG. Input should be;
APPCATALOG=http://localhost/CMApplicationCatalog
(no slash at the end)
The Application Catalog needs to be prepared for client interaction which is described by Microsoft in a blog-article. See the Getting Started section of Extending the Application Catalog in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
How do I make it my own?
In all Community spirit, here comes the code / files.
