This guide gives you the opportunity to find, acquire, manage, and distribute free and paid store apps to ConfigMgr and deploy it to Windows 10 devices. Make sure you have already completed the connection configuration between SCCM and MSfB.
NOTE! – This feature is getting deprecated by Microsoft. So this feature won’t be available after the 2022 Nov release of SCCM.
