I am new to SCCM 2012 and I am trying to install Configuration Manager so that we can test if this is the right product for our environment. We need to push 3rd party application updates to all our networked workstations and WSUS will not allow anything other than Microsoft updates to be pushed. I did see where there are freeware add-on components to allow WSUS to push 3rd party updates, but it sounded like you needed to be an ORCA experienced programmer to get some of the updates to push if they were not already in MSI format.
I seem to have everything installed correctly for SCCM2012, however the Application Catalog Web Service Point system role is has a status of Critical and is not running. I am getting an error related to the WFC componenent not being activated. I can't seem to figure out how to get this componenet activated. The two error log messages are as follows:
Error#2:
Site Component Manager failed to install this component on this site system.
Solution: Review the previous status messages to determine the exact reason for the failure. Site Component Manager will automatically retry the installation in 60 minutes. To force Site Component Manager to immediately retry the installation, stop and restart Site Component Manager using the Configuration Manager Service Manager.
Error#1:
Site Component Manager failed to install component SMS_AWEBSVC_CONTROL_MANAGER on server.
The WCF is not activated.
Solution: Make sure WCF is activated.
I have verified the feature is installed from the Roles and Features Wizard. I have tried uninstalling .NET 4.0 component and reintalling it as that was one suggestion on the web. Since I tried the uninstall and re-install of .NET 4.0 I am also see that WSUS can not synchronize. I get the following error message:
WSUS Synchronization failed.
Message: The operation has timed out.
Source: .
Can anyone guide me in how to activate the WCF? Thanks.
