3. First, let’s agree on some terms
Windows Store apps
Modern, full-screen applications written to the WinRT API that run on Windows 8 and Windows RT.
Sometimes also called WinRT apps, modern apps, Windows 8 apps, and the “M” word.
Microsoft Account
An online account, formerly called a Live ID.
Windows Store
An online store for acquiring Windows Store apps, and an application by the same name on Windows 8 and Windows RT for accessing the online store. Requires a Microsoft account to install new apps (but not to install updates).

4. First, let’s agree on some terms
Appx files
A self-contained packaging format for Windows Store apps, effectively a zip file containing all the necessary components for the application, except for dependencies (which would also be Appx files).
Sideloading
The process of installing or provisioning Windows Store apps without going through the Windows Store. There are specific requirements to enable this.
LOB Apps
Line of business applications developed, developed and used by enterprises, although sometimes used as a substitute for “sideloaded app”.

6. Demo
Doing it the manual (hard) way

7. The manual way: Things to Remember
Prerequisites must be met:
Set the Allow All Trusted Apps policy
Import any needed trusted root certificates
Enable sideloading (automatic with Windows 8 Enterprise when domain joined)
PowerShell and DISM commands do the work
See for more information

8. Demo
Deploying and managing apps with Configuration Manager

9. Using ConfigMgr: Things to Remember
Windows Store apps install per user
Cannot be installed via a task sequence
No native support for provisioning apps, but this can be done using standard software distribution and custom command lines
Use the App Catalog web site to enable self-service installation of Windows Store apps
“Deep links” can be used, but the user must still log in with a Microsoft Account and click “Install”
Requires ConfigMgr 2012 SP1

10. Demo
Deploying and managing apps with Windows Intune

11. Using Windows Intune: Things to Remember
Enables self-service app installation
Publish apps to the Company App Portal (Windows Store app)
Users can “pull” apps from the cloud, but no IT-driven “push”
Requires setting up DirSync, best with single sign-on
Requires Windows Intune wave D (January release)

12. Demo
Provisioning apps with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit

13. Using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit: Things to Remember
Focuses on image creation scenarios
Provisioning apps in the image (Windows limit of 24 apps)
See and for more information
Remember, you can’t install apps from the Windows Store before sysprepping
Requires MDT 2012 Update 1

14. Demo
Deploying and managing apps with other solutions

15. Using Other Solutions: Things to Remember
Anyone can build an app store
WinRT APIs for installing and upgrading apps are fully supported and documented
See for an example, created by Antoine Journaux (PFE)
Any software distribution tool can install and provision apps
Using PowerShell or DISM commands
Running as the user, for installation
Running as admin, for provisioning

16. FAQ’s Can I customize the Start screen layout?
Yes, see for the basic process.
Can I get the .appx files for <insert Microsoft app here>?
Presently, there are no plans to provide any appx files for Office (OneNote MX, Lync MX), Windows (updated versions of the in-box apps), etc. Third parties may provide these.
Can I prevent users from installing <insert Windows Store app>?
You can disable the Windows Store completely (which also prevents installing updated in-box apps), or you can use AppLocker to whitelist or blacklist Windows Store apps.

17. FAQ’s Why is the Windows Store disabled on Windows To Go?
There could be licensing issues if the Windows To Go device is attached to too many different PCs. You can configure a policy to enable this if you want.
Where can I get a sideload product key?
These are available to SA customers through the Volume Licensing Service Center,

18. FAQ’s Can I use the Mail app without a Microsoft ID?
No, you must specify a Microsoft ID even if you are going to be using Exchange or third-party IMAP for .
Can I programmatically install an app from the Windows Store?
While you can specify a “deep link” URL to navigate directly to a specific Windows Store app, you cannot initiate the installation. The user will need to click the “Install” button.
Why can’t the Windows Store apps find my proxy server?
These apps don’t use the Internet Explorer proxy settings. There are also issues with authenticating proxy servers. See and acknowledging the issues and suggesting workarounds. See this doc on for more information:
