If you are running a Community Connect 3 network, you should apply this Security Update without delay.

HFXCC3261 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: HFXCC3261 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 will 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.

1. Click the HFXCC3261.exe file link below to download the Security Update.
2. Choose to Save the file, browse to the temporary location you wish to save it to (for example D:\temp) and click Save.
3. When it has downloaded, follow the installation instructions below to install the Security Update.

Important: During the installation of HFXCC3261, 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.

1. Download HFXCC3261.exe.
2. 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).
3. Run the Security Update by double-clicking the self-extracting executable file (HFXCC3261.exe). The Security Update will extract files automatically and run the RM Installation Assistant to begin the installation.
4. When prompted, click Continue.
5. The installation will proceed automatically. When prompted that the RM Installation Assistant has finished, click Finish.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 at all your other Community Connect 3 domain controllers.
7. Repeat steps 2-5 at any Member Servers (e.g. 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.

8. When all Community Connect 3 domain controllers have had HFXCC3261 applied, log on 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 click OK again when it has completed.
9. HFXCC3261 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.

3. Double-click the Server_Updates.vbs file to install the Microsoft Security Updates.

Note: The Server_Updates.vbs script will run silently on a Terminal Server. However, you can check for completion using the following process:

1. Log on to the Terminal Server as Systemadmin.
2. From the Start menu, select Run and type eventvwr then press return.
3. From the right-hand pane, double-click the System event log.
4. 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.
