ConfigMgr 1610 Windows Store for Business Integration Failed to encrypt client secret key. Windows Store for Business Integration is failing when I attempted to integrate Windows Store for business from ConfigMgt1610 Primary Site. In my scenario SCCM MP is hosted on remote server configured with SQL replica databases. Remote MP Servers do not have ConfigMgr Console Installed. It seems installing Configmgr console might fix the issue but not sure ! I am currently seeking solution for this. I have tried Configuring WSFB integration from SCCM Primary Site without MP Role but integration failed. Also, tried from remote console on server but not site server, Integration failed. I will try to install console on DP, will inform outcome. Issue explained in  TechNet . System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException Failed to encrypt client secret key.

SCCM  1606 Software Centre Changes SCCM (ConfigMgr) 1511 has introduced new software center.  Some organisation might face challenges to deploy new software center. However, you can use run both software center side by side.  New Software Center executable is located under C:\Windows\CCM\ClientUX\ scclient.exe. You can still continue to use old software center and application catalog using old Software Centre. Simply publish another shortcut to all users pointing to C:\Windows\CCM\SCClient.exe. This might helpful to the organisation who is heavily using Software Centre\ Aplication catalog and user training / change management could be daunting task.  You can run both Software Center side by side.
