Microsoft� has released significant Security Updates for Windows�. HFXCC3295 contains these updates in a format easily applied to CC3 networks.
We recommend that you apply this Security Update without delay.
Before installing any Software Update, please refer to TEC90813 and DWN59018 in the Other Useful Articles section below. These articles detail RM's recommendations regarding Software Update installation and support.

At the time of writing this article, there were no known issues related to HFXCC3295.

• HFXCC3295 should be installed on CC3 networks with Service Release 5 (SR5) or above.
• This Security Update should be installed on to all CC3 servers.

Note: All servers and workstations will need to be restarted in order to install this Security Update completely. Therefore, you should  plan to install the Security Update out of hours to minimise disruption to your network.

HFXCC3295 contains the following Microsoft Security Update:  
MS13-008 - Security Update for Internet Explorer (2799329)
More information on the issues resolved by these updates is available from the Microsoft website: http://www.microsoft.com/.

Note:

• HFXCC3295 may not contain all the out of band Security Updates released by Microsoft in January 2013. Please read the More Information section below for further details.

If you are running a CC3 network, you should apply this Security Update without delay.

HFXCC3295 should be applied to all CC3 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 CC3 workstations directly, but all the servers and workstations will need to be restarted for the Microsoft Security Updates to be applied fully.
Note: HFXCC3295 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 CC3 servers will need to be restarted in order to install this Security Update completely. Therefore, you should plan to install the Security Update out of hours to minimise disruption to your network.

1. Click the HFXCC3295.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 instructions in the Installation Instructions section below to install the Security Update.

Important: During the installation of HFXCC3295, the Station Manager HealthCheck and the allocation of new Microsoft Security Update packages must be done manually. Please ensure that you fully complete all the 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 HFXCC3295.exe.
2. Log on to your first CC3 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 (HFXCC3295.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. Once HFXCC3295 has installed successfully, users should run Update Package List manually.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 at all your other CC3 domain controllers.
8. Repeat steps 2-6 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.
9. When all CC3 domain controllers have had HFXCC3295 applied, log on to the first CC3 domain controller server in each site as the system administrator. Run Microsoft Windows Explorer and browse to D:\RMNetwork\RMManage\Station Manager. Double-click the file Healthcheck.exe, select OK to start the HealthCheck and OK again when it has completed.
   
10. HFXCC3295 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 the steps 1 to 8 above now, including running the Station Manager HealthCheck.

The new Security Packages are listed as available packages as follows in the RM Management Console (RMMC):  

System Packages:

• Vista Security Updates -  Out of band Jan 2013
• XP SP3 IE6 Security Update 2799329
• XP SP3 IE7 Security Update 2799329
• XP SP3 IE8 Security Update 2799329

Note: If you do not see the above packages in the RMMC, please run an Update Package List. To do this, please refer to TEC731836 in the Other Useful Articles section below.

Once you have allocated the packages to workstations, restart the workstations at your convenience for the updates to be installed.

1. Browse to D:\RMNetwork\RMManage\RM Hotfixes\HFXCC3295_extracted and double-click the file RM Installation Assistant.exe.
   Note: If this folder or its contents do not exist, rerun the HFXCC3295.exe file downloaded from the RM Support website as in step 1 of the Installation Instructions section above.
2. Follow the procedures from step 4 in the Installation Instructions section above.

Note: If you have a Terminal server on your network, please follow the instructions below:

1. Install the RM Security Updates on to your CC3 domain controllers as described above.
2. Log on to the Terminal server and browse to the following folder on one of your domain controllers: \\<DC_Server_Name>\RMManage\RM Hotfixes\HFXCC3295_extracted\Utilities\Server Updates\v1.99.0.0\
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 a system administrator.
2. From the Start menu, select Run, type eventvwr and 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. (The number of entries will vary with each update as only updates relevant to the Terminal server and any other updates relevant to the applications installed on these servers will be installed).

The components of HFXCC3295 will be included in a future CC3 Service Release or Microsoft Service Pack validated by RM.

The Security Update can be installed on to the networks running CC3 with Service Release 5 or above.

HFXCC3295 is not included in Service Release 5 or 6. It will need to be reapplied if originally installed before Service Release 6 is installed.

Note: The application software updates will need to be reapplied if the related Microsoft application is installed or reinstalled after the software updates were applied.

See the Description section for a full list. HFXCC3295 contains new relevant workstation and server Microsoft Security Updates.
