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 ...

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.
