Creating an Application Catalog

With AdminStudio, you manage your applications and their deployment types in an Application Catalog database, which stores all package information, including test results. This enables you to perform enterprise level data checking. You can share your Application Catalog between multiple AdminStudio users.

AdminStudio and many of its tools (such as Application Manager) require you to be connected to an Application Catalog, while others give you the option of working with packages on a local or network directory or from Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Server.

In this exercise, you will create a new AdminStudio Application Catalog and set it as the default.
