It will take only 10 minutes to import 11 applications with all the configurations like global conditions, Dependent Applications and Supersedence Applications . Play around with 11 applications in NO time.

This import will also create 14 different deployment types for all these applications with Install and UN-install command lines.  The details of all the deployments types and command lines are given at the bottom of this post.

Where can we get this Pre-Configured applications?

No worries, it’s part of ConfigMgr 2012 SDK. If you’re not downloaded SDK yet, download it from HERE.

All the XML files required for the import process are available there in the ConfigMgr 2012 SDK.  However, source files of these applications are not included in the ZIP file. We need to download those files separately. More Details are available in the document “Application Model Kit.docx” which is there in SDK.

Once you install SDK, you can go to CM 2012 console “\Software Library\Overview\Application Management\Applications” and right-click on the “Applications” node and select “Import Application”

Copy the file  “AppModelKit.zip” located in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SDK\Samples\Application Model” folder to your application source folder (Hope, application “source” folder is already shared and it has a UNC path).

This part of the wizard will check whether these applications already exist in the software library or not.  If so, ConfigMgr will add a revision to the existing application unless you modify the action to create a new application.

  1. I am trying to import appmodelkit.zip file. Getting this error “The specified file does not contain a configuration manager application. Select a file that contains an application that was exported from Configuration Manager and try again”.

    I have copied applicationmodelkit.zip file to \\sccm2012\software folder that is shared with full access to the folder. Yet, I cannot import sdk. What is the issue I have no clue. Look forward to your help.
