Create and Deploy Application Groups in SCCM | ConfigMgr

In this post, I will show you how to create and deploy application groups in SCCM. Using ConfigMgr’s application groups, you can deploy a group of apps to users or devices.

In this step-by-step guide, we will go through the basics of application groups, create and deploy the application groups, validate and monitor the deployment of applications, and review the log files.

We know that Configuration Manager is one of the best tools to deploy applications. Administrators can deploy multiple applications to user collections and device collections using the application groups feature.

The SCCM application groups was introduced as a pre-release feature for the first time in Technical Preview 1905. Subsequently, this feature was then introduced in SCCM current branch version 1906 as a pre-release feature.

Starting with the ConfigMgr 2111 version, application groups are no longer a pre-release feature. This means you don’t have to turn on this feature manually by going to Administration > Overview > Cloud Services > Updates and Servicing > Features.

When you want to deploy multiple applications to a user collection or a device collection, you can group those applications into an application group and send them to the target collection as a single deployment. Read more about deploying applications using Configuration Manager.

What are Application Groups in SCCM?

With Application Groups in SCCM, you create a group of applications that you can send to a collection as a single deployment. You can group the applications and deploy them all at once rather than deploying them one at a time. In other words, you can group multiple applications into a single deployment using SCCM application groups.

One of the interesting features of application groups is that you can order the apps in the group so that the client installs them in a specific order. The metadata you specify about the app group is seen in Software Center as a single entity.

With the Configuration Manager 2111 release, SCCM Application Groups and Orchestration Groups are not pre-release features anymore. These features are optional in Configuration Manager and are enabled by default. You don’t have to provide any consent to use these features.

You can locate the Application Groups feature in the ConfigMgr console. Navigate to Administration > Overview > Cloud Services > Updates and Servicing > Features. Here you’ll find the Application Groups feature, the feature type is Release and the Status in On.


Prerequisites for Application Groups

To use the application groups feature in SCCM, read the following prerequisites:


  1. Update your Configuration Manager to the latest version. You can take a look at the SCCM releases page that lists the build numbers, version details and hotfixes information for every SCCM version.
  2. The applications must be packaged in SCCM before you add them to the application group. Distributing the application’s content to the distribution points prior will speed up the deployment of application groups.
  3. The application deployment must be tested for before you include them in the SCCM application groups. You may also simulate the application deployments in SCCM.
  4. Having test device collections or user collections ready will help you to test the application deployments quickly. Use the following guides to learn how you can create device collection for Windows 10 and device collection for Windows 11.


How to Create Application Groups in SCCM | ConfigMgr

We will now look at the procedure to create an application groups in SCCM.


  • Launch the SCCM Console.
  • Go to Software Library > Overview > Application Management > Application Groups.
  • Right-click Application Groups and select Create Application Group.


On the General Information page, specify the details for the application group. For example, specify the application group name, administrator comments, publisher name, etc. All these details will show up in the Software Center for users. Click Next.


Specify Software Center Icon for Application Group

When you create an application group in SCCM, you can specify a Software Center icon for the application group. This icon will be shown along with the Application Group to the user when they browse the Software Center. Although assigning an icon to application groups is optional, doing so makes it easier for users to identify the application.

On the Software Center page, specify information about how you want to display this application group to users when they browse the Software Center. You can add or specify additional languages for the application groups by selecting the Add/Remove button. You can define user categories, add a privacy URL and a localized description, and much more.

To specify the icon for Application group, click on Browse button and upload the Software Center icon and click Apply. The assigned icon can be seen in the same window. Click Next.


Select and Add Applications to the App Group

On the Application Group page, you can select and add multiple applications to be installed or uninstalled in a specific order. To add applications to the application group, click on the Add button.

You will be presented with a window where you can select software for this application group. On the right pane, select the applications that you want to include in the application group. Click OK.

As an example, I have selected the Cisco Webex, Dell Support Assist and WinSCP applications. This application group will include all of these applications, which will be deployed on the endpoints.

Arrange Application Group Items

After you add multiple apps, you can change the order of the apps in the application group by using the Move Up and Move Down buttons. If you wish to install the applications in a specific order, it can be done here. Once you have finalized the order of application group items, click Next.

On the Summary page, you can find the settings that you configured for the current application group. Review the settings and click Next to proceed.

We see that the application group has now been successfully created. Click Close in the Completion window. This completes the steps to create application groups in SCCM.


Deploy SCCM Application Groups

Once you have created the application groups in SCCM, you can deploy them using the following steps:


  • Launch the Configuration Manager Console.
  • Go to Software Library > Overview > Application Management > Application Groups.
  • Right-click Application Groups and select Deploy.


On the General page of the deploy software wizard, click Browse and select the device collection. In this example, I have selected the Windows 10 device collection. Note that application groups can be deployed to both user collections and device collections. Click Next.
