How to create a local ISO Storage Repository on Citrix XenServer

Who doesn't know the problem! The hard work with CDs or DVDs. The solution -> use ISO library. If this can't be placed centrally on the network, then you can create a local ISO library on XenServer. 
The following is a short guide:
  1. Create the directory "/var/opt/xen/iso_library/", this can be created with this command:
    mkdir -p /var/opt/xen/iso_library
  2. The ISO storage repository is created as follows:
    xe     sr-create name-label ="ISORepository" type=iso device-config:location=/var/opt/xen/iso_library/ device-config:legacy_mode=true content-type=iso
  3. Use WinSCP or other tool to copy the ISO files in the directory iso_library
  4. Now, you can selected ISO on Citrix XenCenter at drop-down "DVD Drive"
Have fun!

How to set custom RDP Settings in Windows Server 2012

Image
I can't find any place to set the Custom RDP Settings on my Windows Server 2012 Connection Broker. I also looked in the wrong place, because the settings are "only" set via PowerShell and I look in the GUI. Open PowerShell with admin rights Import the remote desktop service module ->  Import-Module RemoteDesktopService Type the following command: Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName XXXX -CustomRdpProperty "authentication level:i:0 pre-authentication server address:s:https://XXXX.XXXX.XXX/rdweb require pre-authentication:i:1" The example is for the configuration of RDS in connection with TMG. Conclusion : Not in the GUI but in PowerShell! :-)

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.
