Entering Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager Settings
Note:After you have launched App Portal for the first time and uploaded the license file, you are then prompted to specify the connection settings for your deployment technology. However, you are not required to enter your deployment technology settings at this time. You could skip this step and launch App Portal, and then specify the deployment settings on the Site Management > Settings > Deployment view. For more information, see “Getting Started” in the App Portal / App Broker Administration Guide.
To connect App Portal to Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, you need to open the Settings > Deployment view under Site Management on the Admin tab, and then select the ConfigMgr tab.
