Resolution Check the web service configuration from the Skype for Business Server with the following steps: Start the Skype for Business Management Shell and view the web service settings with the command " Get-CsWebServiceConfiguation " Change the settings with the command " Set-CsWebServiceConfiguration -UseWindowsAuth Negotiate " (Default setting is NTLM) Check the new configuration with the command from Step 1 Now the iOS users can sign in again to Skype for Business Client. Good luck!

ConfigMgr 2007 - Policy and ci_sdmpackages table large and growing fast

How to eliminate slack space in the Microsoft ConfigMgr 2007 database? I have a customer with a big Microsoft Configuration Manager 2007 database (more than 25 GB). The table Policy and the ci_sdmpackages table were unusually large. I found that the disk space consumption comes from a FEP 2010 bug... I can fix this issue with the following SQL-Commands. Please make a backup of your database before you start with the execution of the commands and look for enough disk space (minimum double of database size)! Good luck! First SQL command: DELETE FROM Policy WHERE PolicyID NOT IN (SELECT PolicyID FROM PolicyAssignment WHERE PADBID IN (SELECT PADBID FROM ResPolicyMap)) AND PolicyID NOT IN (SELECT ModelName FROM CI_ConfigurationItems) AND PolicyID LIKE '%SUM_%' Second SQL command: dbcc cleantable ('(Your DB Name)','ci_sdmpackages') GO alter index CI_SDMPackages_AK on ci_sdmpackages reorganize with (lob_compaction=ON) GO alter index CI_SDMPackages_AK2

GPO Network Provider for hardened UNC Path (KB3004375)

The security update KB3000483  (included in KB3004375 ) requires a group policy change to be performed in order to protect against the vulnerability described in the bulletin ( MS15-011 ). If you would like to activate now the GPO " Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Network/Network Provider " and you missing this setting in the console? Are you working with a domain that uses the Central Store? If so, when you're editing a group policy with the snapin, the Administrative Templates section will say "Policy definitions (ADMX files) retrieved from the central store" at the end of it. If that's the case the update includes %SystemRoot%\PolicyDefinitions\NetworkProvider.admx and %SystemRoot%\PolicyDefinitions\YOURLANGUAGE\NetworkProvider.adml files that need to be copied to the Central Store ( SYSVOL\YOURDOMAIN\Policies\PolicyDefinitions , etc.) before the editor will pick up on them. Good luck!

SCCM 2012 Software Center returned error code 0x0041013 (-2147217389)

After an update from SCCM 2007 client to SCCM 2012 client, there is sometimes show the error "Loading Software Center returned error code 0x80041013 (-2147217389)." in Software Center. This even though the client was successfully installed. I think this error is because not all parts of the old SCCM clients have been properly removed. You can fix this issue with the following steps: Open registry Go to  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{555B0C3E-41BB-4B8A-A8AE-8A9BEE761BDF}\InProcServer32 Check the value for Default is C:\WINDOWS\CCM\ccmcisdk.dll (if not, change the value) Go to  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{555B0C3E-41BB-4B8A-A8AE-8A9BEE761BDF}\InProcServer32 Delete the value in Default (value is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\CCM\dcmsdk.dll) You can launch the software center again and you can see the applications without the error message.
