Show Options in Software Center

Hi,
in the Software Center the default setting is Show "All". Is there a possibility to change this default to "Applications" or something else?
Thanks Experts

No.

Applications Installed through task sequence not showing up in Software Center

In the task sequence we use for our OSD Windows 7 machine build, we have Custom-Install Application steps which install a number of of our Applications. Each of these Applications has the "Allow this application to be installed from the Install
Application task sequence action without being deployed" checkbox checked. All of the Applications have the following properties set:
Installation behavior: Install for system
Logon requirement: Whether or not a user is logged in
Installation program visibility: Hidden
When a machine is built using this task sequence, all of the Applications install successfully - they show up in Control Panel\Programs and Features, and they run correctly. However, none of them show up in the Software Center. I'm not seeing anything in
any of the logs that indicates a problem, and the Software Center remains empty even after running all the client evaluation cycle actions
Interestingly, if I add a couple of the newly build machines to a collection, then target deployments for the already installed Applications to that collection, after running the Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle the Applications immediately
show up in Software Center as installed.
Does anyone know if Applications installed through a task sequence do not show up in the Software Center by default, or could you give me some troubleshooting tips if this is not normal?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Why you deploy applications through task sequences? Task sequences are built and meant to be used with OSD, not application deployment.
To my knowledge, if you have application install step in a task sequence and you deploy that task sequence to a collection of machines, the software center on those machines only sees the task sequence itself, not the applications inside the task sequence.
If you want your applications to be shown in the software center, change the method of deploying stuff and deploy applications as they're are meant to.

Kb2920730 shows up in software center but server has no Sharepoint

on one server the update kb2920730 shows up in software center as failed, but this specific server has nothing installed related to SharePoint server
how can we get rid of this update?
the customer forced the machine to scan online and then it did not show that update in the list

you should look at the logs why did the installation failed. check windowsupdate.log .did you try manual install and capture the error msg ?

Clients not showing apps in software center after update to CU4

I recently upgraded my SCCM2012 SP1 to CU4 in an effort to support our Macs some of which are running Mavericks. However, I have been noticing that many times when I do an OSD of a Windows computer one of a couple things will happen. If it is a computer
that is being re-imaged, it will only get a single app installed and no other apps will show up in Software Center. I also just today got a new computer and most of our apps are in SC but several are missing. They show up in the console as being deployed to
the machine in it's properties under Devices, but they just aren't getting to the computer. On the re-image computer many times I could just remove it entirely from SCCM then re-add it and it would work fine but with the new computer I'm at a loss as to what
to do. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Is the device stuck in provisioning mode? That would block it from getting client policy (among other things).
To check, see ProvisioningMode = True under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM\CcmExec registry key.
This usually happens if an unsupported update gets installed while in the task sequence:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2894518/en-us
You can fix a broken client with this PowerShell command:
Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root\CCM -Class SMS_Client -Name SetClientProvisioningMode -ArgumentList $false
To keep them from breaking, use offline servicing to inject the updates into all of your images so they don't get installed during the task sequence.
I hope that helps,

OSD Tasks only available to PXE and media showed up in Software Center on a server!

OK so I'm getting a selected windows 2008 r2 server setup with its SCCM client cert, I get the client installed on there - everything's looking great, I see updates and CI's and policies all coming down nicely watching the client logs... I open up software
center thinking I'll go on ahead and kick off the 2 available windows updates and to my horror I see my OSD Task Sequence deployments (Available) sitting there in software center. These are all set for visibility only to PXE and media - NEVER software center
- every single one of them - and I've triple-checked every one since I saw this and also verified they don't show up on a client workstation. I deleted the deployments for these task sequences and grabbed the \windows\ccm\logs directory in full off the server
for review... How in the flying heck did these task sequences show up in Software Center on my server's newly installed client / software center???

Aha! Thanks Mr Sandys! Sure enough the client hasn't upgraded yet and is at 5.00.7711.0000.
I have automatic sitewide client upgrade configured (within 1 day) - guess I'll wait to see if it updates or not. Shouldn't pushing the client from my CM server send the latest client X_X ?

Update deployment shows downloading 0% in Software center.

Hi All,
I am trying to patch a windows server 2012 R2 server using SCCM 2012 R2. The update is deployed to the collection & received in the machine but the file download always shows 0% in software center.
Please help.

Successful installed application keeps showing on Installation Status tab as Installed in Software Center

Hello everyone,
As the title says; after I have deployed an application. It keep showing itself on Installation Status tab in software center as Installed.
Thank you all in advance.

Hi,
That means that it is installed, what is your issue with it? don't you wan't it to show up? then you can select that it should not show up in Software Center under User Experience on the deployment of the application.

Newly created Applications do not appear in Software Center or Application Catalog

I'm still rather new to SCCM; but I'm slowly working towards configuring an application to be deployed to my clients via an application package that I configured. I set something up for deployment, and it's my understanding that the app should show
up in the software center for the users that it's deployed to.
However, I'm having an issue where not only is it not showing up, but it's not being installed on the clients I've deployed it to. The main problem is that I have no idea how to troubleshoot this - I don't know what logs to look at for issues (or where
the logs are); and I've been having a ton of trouble locating 'basic troubleshooting' info for application deployment.
If anyone could point me towards info that can get me on the right path for troubleshooting why my application isn't either automatically installing on the clients or why it isn't showing in the software center/application catalog, that would be very helpful.
Thanks!

I created the app on Monday, then did the deployment to a computer collection; Tuesday I read something that implied for it to show in software center it had to be deployed to a user collection, so I did that. I have told it to distribute the content
to all 3 of my distro points (three physical offices, one DP in each office), and I did that on Monday, then again on Tuesday when I deployed to the user collection.
Looking at it now, it seems as though the content hasn't been deployed to the other DP's yet though. When I go to Monitoring - Distribution Status - Content Status and select the application I created, it shows the status as 1 success (primary office/sccm
site/where the content was located when I created the package), and two as 'in progress' (other two sites), but has shown in progress for over 24h now. When I look at the further detail for the distribution - for one site the message shows last status
time of yesterday at 4:30pm and says "the content files for package <package id> have not yet arrived from the source site." the other one has the same last status time, but says "distribution manager instructed scheduler to send
package <package id> to child site."
So either the distribution is taking forever or it hasn't updated the status since it finished. Either way, maybe this is the par that I need to look into?

SCCM 2012 SDK - Enumerate Installed Software in Software Center

Hi,
In SCCM 2012 in Software Center there is a tab titled "Installed Software". Is there anyway
using the SCCM 2012 SDK I can enumarate what is on that list?
Thanks,
Ward

Ward,
In root\ccm\clientsdk, you can query CCM_Application for a list of apps that show up in Software Center.
Specifically, take a look at the ResolvedState field - it should be "Installed" for software that shows up in that tab.

How do I prevent items from showing up under "Available Software" in the software center after they have been removed?

I have some scenarios where I want to keep older or multiple versions of an application around in the Application Catalog website. The problem is when I deploy a script to remove one of these applications after removal it starts to appear under "Available
Software" in the Software Center. Our users have noticed this and discovered that they can go there, select the application and reinstall it. I need to find a way to prevent this. Is there some sort of setting I can enable to prevent certain applications
from showing up under "Available Software" but still have them listed in the Application Catalog Website?

I show in the SDK about properties passed to the Software Center that deal with Applications but nothing on how to interact with it directly in dealing with the Check box for "Show Optional Software".
You can always see if there is a captured regentry when you click it. I don't know if this setting is wiped out when you close the SC. If so you could create something to create the key to force the check box. Sorry, maybe someone will
have a better answer for you.

Thanks for responding again Matthew. Yeah I googled around and got nowhere. I did find a thread here that touched on it where Torsten Meringer responded and seemed to indicate that it could not be done. I find that hard to believe (where there's a will there’s
a way right?). I did tag the Software Center with a registry watcher on my stet VM and tried unchecking that box. Got nothing so wherever the setting resides it does not appear to be in the registry. Very frustrating to have the solution staring me right in
the face and being unable to do anything about it. Hopefully someone who has a working method will see this thread and respond. Until then I guess I’ll keep digging.
Side note – I’ve worked in Oil and Gas now for 10 years. Awesome to have an admin from Schlumberger respond to my post. We energy people have to stick together right? ;)

Software center dont show the package(not applications) on the client as installed when logging in with other User ID.

It is showing as Installed in software center with user ID through which it is actually installed but not from other User ID's.
Please send me suggestions or how we can resolve this issue.

Software center might not show it if there are multiple users logged in. It will only be shown to the
user that got the highest (lowest? Can't remember it) session id.

Software Center shows "No items found"

Hi,
Software Center is not updating the applications and shows "No items found". It is not showing the organization name too(instead IT Organization is displayed). Found that Configuration Manager in Control Panel shows only
"Machine policy & Retrieval cycle and User policy cycle".
Workaround: Tried to clean uninstall SCCM 2012 client and reinstalled it and initiated Machine policy & Retrieval cycle. Check after sometime but no luck.
Please guide how to work on this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

Software Center "reinstall" option

I deployed two items - an Application and a Package to my test client.
After successful install I noticed that the PACKAGE has an option for REINSTALL but the APPLICATION only has an option for UNINSTALL (greyed out if the deployment is mandatory).
Does this sound correct, by design and match the experience of others?
What if I wanted to do an MSI Repair of the application but cannot do an Uninstall / Reinstall via software center because it is greyed out - I assume the using Add Remove programs is the suggested approach?

Thanks Jeff, that is what I figured - thanks for the second set of eyes.
The only issue is with packages you can do a reinstall in case the package becomes corrupt since there is a reinstall option. With an application there is no reinstall option so one must go to AR Programs and select "repair" or "uninstall
/ reinstall" and that requires admin rights (our users are not local admins).
Regardless, thanks for the confirmation.

Available Package Deployments not showing in Software Center of Domain Controller Clients

We have a SCCM 2012 R2 environment and have a pretty weird issue. I have deployed multiple 'available' software packages to a collection. The non-domain controller client receives the deployments and I can run them successfully, however the domain controller
shows nothing in the software center. But in the PolicyAgent.log of the domain controller I can see it getting the policy:

Software Center shows all apps as "1 MB" in size

Would like to report what we believe to be a GUI BUG in Software Center - that all programs are incorrectly showing "less than 1 MB". Althought it appears to be a GUI bug, it is rather unnerving for some Techs and generate several unnecessary Questions
to us in the CM admins group. It does show the correct size, if we manually click on each and every program/App.
Is it known by MS? Is there a coming Update that fixes the issue?
Many thanks for any help
Justin Nichols MCSE

I'm using R2 CU2 and have the same problem. This issue is not fixed.
I justed filled that as a Connect bug. You can track the response from MS there and feel free to upvote it.
