This Update for Community Connect 3 corrects two issues experienced by some users: No internet access after rebuilding workstations as Microsoft Windows XP SP2, and log on times of 20 minutes or more. This update is included in Service Release 5 (SR5).
Description

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.
Any references to Community Connect 3 in this document apply equally to RM Smart-Tools 3.
HFXCC3102 is included in Service Release 5 for Community Connect 3; if you have installed Service Release 5 on your network you do not need to install HFXCC3102 separately.
Platforms
The Update can be installed on to Community Connect 3 networks running Service Release 4.
Symptoms
1. No Internet access after rebuilding workstations as Microsoft� Windows� XP SP2 After installing the Microsoft� Windows� XP Service Pack 2 Update Pack (Windows XP SP2), users logging on to workstations rebuilt as Microsoft� Windows� XP SP2 cannot access the network because the proxy server setting is incorrect.
2. Workstation log on times of 20 minutes or more This may only become apparent if you add an additional domain controller into your network and the affected users' home directories are located on the new server.
Note: This second issue is specific to a Microsoft Windows service and differs from issues being addressed by several performance improvement updates for Community Connect 3 networks.
Requirements
HFXCC3102 should be applied to the first Community Connect 3 domain controller in each site only.
It does not need to be applied to any other servers or workstations and no servers will need to be restarted.
Workstations must be restarted twice in order for the change made by the Update to take effect.

Important - Interaction with RM Service Releases
The Update can be installed on to networks running Community Connect 3 with Service Release 4.
HFXCC3102 is not included in Service Release 4 or the Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Update Pack. It will need to be reinstalled if the Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Update Pack is applied to a Community Connect 3 network after applying this software update.
HFXCC3102 is included in Service Release 5.
More Information
HFXCC3102 will disable the WebClient service on all workstations in the domain. This is an obsolete service that can cause delays in logons and in attaching to a UNC path (eg \\myserver\sharename). See the Microsoft� Knowledge Base article KB832161 for more details.
The service is disabled via the "System Wide Computer Settings" group policy object, setting the following registry value on workstations: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient] "Start"=dword:00000004
