How to change the SCUP database to a shared database (multiple users)

Microsoft System Center Updates Publisher (SCUP) 2011 does not store his database file centrally for all users. SCUP creates a separate file for each user in his profile ("C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\System Center Updates Publisher 2011\5.00.1727.0000\").

Funny, because a central database file is in the most cases very useful.

With the following steps you can change this (mistake):
  1. Close the SCUP console
  2. Open the Scup2011.exe.config in editor (run the editor as admin)
  3. Add the following lines to the config file
    1. <applicationSettings>
             <Scup.Properties.Settings>
                 <setting name="SSCEDataFile" serializeAs="String">
                     <value>C:\SCUP_2011\5.00.1727.0000\scupdb.sdf</value>
                 </setting>
             </Scup.Properties.Settings>
      </applicationSettings>
  4. Save the config file
  5. Move the existing SCUPDB.SDF (in the above path) to the new path
  6. Finished! All users have the same database file.

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.
