App Portal Web Service Installation
Important: A minimum of .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 is required on all primary sites.
For SCCM 2007, the App Portal Web Service must be installed on every primary site server in order to service the SCCM clients at that site. For SCCM 2012, the App Portal Web Service is only needed at the CAS or Central site.
Therefore, you are required to run the AppPortalWebServiceSetup.exe on each primary site, confirming the local server name and SCCM SQL Database of the primary site server. A default SCCM Collection called App Portal Collection for Site XXX will be created on each primary site. This collection will be populated as necessary to service the clients that report to that site.
For SCCM 2007, an advertisement folder called App Portal Advertisements for Site XXX will be created to contain the advertisements created by App Portal.
For SCCM 2012, folders will be created called App Portal Users For Site XXX and App Portal Computers for site XXX.

Setting Permissions: App Portal Service Account
App Portal requires that you identify an account (App Portal service account) to use for the interaction with SQL and Active Directory. The App Portal service account will require administrative permissions on the client workstations if you wish App Portal to successfully run machine policy evaluation for accelerated software deployments and rerunning advertisements as necessary.
The service account must have Read permission on the SCCM database in SQL and DBO rights on the App Portal database that gets created during the installation process. The Installer Account will attempt to provision the Service Account with DB_DataReader permissions to the SCCM database and DBO permissions to the App Portal database.
