Unable to connect to MS’s Management Pack Catalog SCOM2012R2

I have been working on a customer SC Operations Manager 2012 Proof of Concept and ran into a few issues with downloading management packs from the MS Catalogue.

To resolve this issue, you will need to go to the following Path:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Operations Manager\Console\Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Monitoring.Console.exe

Add the following Lines at the bottom of the config file as shown in the screenshot below.

<system.net>
 <defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true">
 <proxy usesystemdefault="True" />
 </defaultProxy>
 </system.net>

There you have it, the SCOM Console configured to use the Proxy.
