If you are running a Community Connect 3 network, you should apply this Security Update without delay.
HFXCC3222 should be applied to all Community Connect 3 servers including all domain controllers and all Member Servers (such as DAMMS and MIS servers, or servers running Microsoft�Exchange). It does not need to be applied to Community Connect 3 workstations directly, but all servers and workstations will need to be restarted for the Microsoft� Security Updates to be applied fully.
Note: HFXCC3222 should not be directly applied to RM Client Connect Terminal Servers. For information on how to apply the server updates to these servers see the 'Installing on Terminal Servers' section below.
Important: All your Community Connect 3 servers may need to be restarted in order to install this Security Update completely. You should therefore plan to install the Security Update out-of-hours to minimise disruption to your network.

Installation Instructions
Important: During the installation of HFXCC3222, the Station Manager HealthCheck and the allocation of new Microsoft� Security Update packages must be done manually. Please ensure that you fully complete all steps in the Installation Instructions. If you previously started to install the Security Update but cancelled the operation, follow the installation instructions in the 'Installing after cancelling a previous install' section below.
Download HFXCC3222.exe.
Log on to your first Community Connect 3 domain controller as a System Administrator and copy the Security Update to a temporary location (for example D:\temp).
Run the Security Update by double-clicking the self-extracting executable file (HFXCC3222.exe). The Security Update will extract files automatically and run the RM Installation Assistant to begin the installation.
When prompted, click Continue.
The installation will proceed automatically. When prompted that the RM Installation Assistant has finished, click Finish.
Note: After installation at a server, the server may need to be rebooted for the Microsoft� Security Updates to be applied fully. Ensure the server has rebooted successfully before continuing.
Repeat steps 2-5 at all your other Community Connect 3 domain controllers.
Repeat steps 2-5 at any Member Servers (eg DAMMS or MIS servers) on the network.
Note: After installation at a server, the server will need to be rebooted for the Microsoft�™ Security Updates to be applied fully. It is recommended that you ensure each domain controller has rebooted successfully before applying the Software Update to the next server.
When all Community Connect 3 domain controllers have had HFXCC3222 applied, log in to the first Community Connect 3 domain controller server in each site as the System Administrator. Run Microsoft� Windows� Explorer and browse to D:\RMNetwork\RMManage\Station Manager. Double-click on the file Healthcheck.exe, and select OK to start the health check, and OK again when it has completed.
HFXCC3222 provides new workstation packages but does not automatically allocate them. You should allocate these new packages to all your workstations at your earliest convenience.
Note: If you choose to allocate the packages at a later time, you must still complete all of steps 1 to 8 above now, including running the Station Manager HealthCheck.
Note: The application package Security Updates listed below need to be installed only when the associated packages are installed on the network.

Select the System event log from the right-hand pane.
In the list of events you should see a number of events with the Source 'NTServicePack' and event ID 4377 which will correspond with the date and time the ServerUpdates.vbs was run. (Note: The number of entries will vary with each update as only updates relevant to the Terminal Server, and any other updates relevant to applications installed on these servers, will be installed).

Possible Issues
Please ensure you follow the advice given in the More Information section below regarding software pre-requisites. If you do not follow this advice you may experience the following packages being listed as Install Failed within the RM Management Console.
MS Office 2007 CP Security Update KB951207
MS Office 2007 suite Security Update KB951207
MS Publisher 2007 Suite Security Update KB951208
This is due to a Microsoft� Office� 2007 dependency within the Microsoft� package themselves and so does not pass an expected fail code back to the RM AppAgent installer. This same issue is also exhibited if you are to:
Re-allocate the above packages to workstation on which they have already been successfully installed.
De-allocate the above packages from a workstation on which they have been successfully installed. In this instance the package(s) will be listed as Uninstall Failed.
