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.
