The latest update for System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2 (build 5.00.8412.1000 – released on August 2nd, 2016) has added the ability to integrate your Corporate Windows Store into SCCM.
The ability to deploy Universal Apps using SCCM has been introduced some time ago but you were obliged to use the Offline Licensing and create an application in SCCM prior to the deployment.
Your client device must run Windows 10 build 1511 or later (build released in November 2015)
First thing, off course you need to update your SCCM infrastructure with the reference update.
If this already done, open your SCCM administration console and go to Administration\Cloud Services\Updates and Servicing\Features to turn on (the default is Off) the Windows Store for Business Integration feature and confirm the activation
Starting from then you will be able to directly add applications from your Windows Store for Business.
Register your SCCM infrastructure
To be able to continue the configuration process, you need to register your SCCM infrastructure on Azure Active Directory
Connect to your Azure portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com) and access the Applications section your Azure AD tenant to Add a new application
Choose to add an Application my organization is developing
Name the application (like SCCM for example) and select the Web Application type
Define the sign in and app ID url’s – the values you defined do not really matter as these will no be really used; this needed to complete the process and then be able to get a key
Finally, configure the added application to generate a key using the keys section on then select the duration of the key
Once the key has been generated, stay on this page until you complete the next steps. If you do, you will not be able to get the key after.
Define SCCM as management tool
You then need to connect to your Windows Store for Business (https://businessstore.microsoft.com) to define the management tool used to deploy the applications, search using the name of the application you added during the previous step and make it active
While you are on your Windows Store for Business, you also need to enable the Show offline licensed apps option available through the Manage\Account Information section
Adding Windows Store for Business account
Once the feature has been successfully added, close the console and re open it to go back to Administration\Cloud Services section, you should see the Windows Store for Business section
You can only add one Windows Store for Business account
Right click on it and choose to add Windows Store for Business Account; this where we will need the key created during the previous step
Just follow the wizard to define the credentials to connect to the store
You will need to define your Azure AD tenant (the one on which you have added your SCCM), the client ID and the key
