Hi Running SCCM 2012 R2 CU5. Software deployments are a mix of old-style packages and new-style applications. All software deployments are deployed to device collections and made available to users via Software Centre (not the App Catalog)
(Note: deploying to user collections and using the app catalog are on the road map, but we're not there yet...as is upgrading to CM12 R2 SP1 and later releases) Until recently all deployments were packages, we are currently in a process of re-working them as applications... ...which finally brings me to the issue (thanks for your patience getting this far :)) Some of our clients are not listing all of the applications they should be listing in the Software Centre. The packages are all listing, but not the applications. However, some applications are being listed. The logic of what is listed appears to be that if the application has been deployed since the SCCM client was installed on the PC the application will be shown in the Software Centre, but if it was deployed before the client was installed then the application will not be shown. To flesh this out a little... 1. a client (call it PC1) installed months ago is listing all of the applications (the conversion from packages is a recent thing), so all is well on these. 2. A client installed last Thursday (call it PC2) is only listing those applications I created on Friday & Saturday. 3. I removed the SCCM client from PC2 Saturday afternoon, and reinstalled it. After this it showed no applications, not even the ones deployed on Friday & Saturday. However, it is now showing the applications I deployed yesterday (Sunday). 4. If I take an application I created a month ago which is deployed to a collection including PC2, and then deploy it to a new collection (which also includes PC2) then the application now appears in Software Centre. I have looked at various logs files (particularly the AppDiscovery and AppIntentEval logs, there is no AppEnforce log?), but nothing has struck me as particularly out of the ordinary (but as I'm not a Config Manager specialist it doesn't mean the clues aren't there). One last thing that might be relevant, if I look at the Applications for PC2 using Roger Zander's "Client Center" tool all of the applications expected are listed but the ones that aren't appearing in the Software Centre have a Status of "No State information is available" whereas the ones that are appearing are either "Application is available for enforcement" or "Application is enforced". Extensive googling of this issue yesterday (well, the Wimbledon and Euro 2016 finals were both boring affairs so it was a handy distraction :)) didn't turn up anything useful to this issue. Anyone experienced a similar issue or have any pointers to where I can look/things I can try to get to the bottom of this?
