How to reset the password from Citrix license console

From current occasion I'm writing this post... I hope citrix takes it not angry with me. :-)

Which of us is not familiar with this situation? Quickly install and configure and later the password is forgotten. In order to reset the password of the citrix license console you must perform the following steps.
  1. Open the server.xml file with notepad.exe (You can find the file under "%ProgramFiles%\Citrix\Licensing\LS\conf".)
  2. Search the the entry... <user firstName="System" id="admin" lastName="Administrator" password="(ENC-01)XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" passwordExpired="false" privileges="admin"/>;
  3. You must erase the contents between the double quotes after "password="""
  4. Enter a plaintext passwort (Example: "password=TEST")
  5. Now change the passwordExpired value from "false" to "true"
  6. Save the file server.xml on the same location
  7. Restart the Citrix licensing services
  8. Open the Citrix License Console and tipe "admin" on user name field an the passwort from step 4 in the password field
  9. Now, you can assign a new password
  10. Please, note the new password! I wrote down in my passwort tool. ;-)
Tip: Your new password is not save in plaintext. Citrix encrypts it again in the XML file. At this point a praise to Citrix. Good work...

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.
