MS04-040, MS05-002 and MS05-003 are also applicable to Windows XP Service Pack 1, however these updates will be provided for workstations in the next Microsoft security update hotfix for Community Connect 3. Windows XP Service Pack 2 workstations are not affected by the vulnerabilities addressed by MS04-040, MS05-002 and MS05-003. |
Who should install this Hotfix?
|
You should apply this hotfix without delay if you are running a Community Connect 3 network.
HFXCC3098 should be applied to all Community Connect 3 servers including all domain controllers and all Member Servers (such as DAMMS and MIS servers). 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 updates to be applied fully. |
1. Click the HFXCC3098.exe file link to download the hotfix.
2. Choose to Save the file, browse to the temporary location you wish to save it to (e.g. D:\temp) and click Save.
3. When it has downloaded, follow the installation instructions below to install the hotfix. |

|  Installation Instructions |
|
IMPORTANT: During the installation of HFXCC3098, the Update Package List procedure, 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 How to install the Hotfix section of this article.
Note: If you previously started to install the hotfix but cancelled the operation, follow the installation instructions in the 'Installing after cancelling a previous install' section below.
1. Download HFXCC3098.
2. Log on to your first Community Connect 3 domain controller as Administrator (not SystemAdmin) and copy the hotfix to a temporary location (e.g. D:\temp).
3. Run the hotfix by double-clicking the self-extracting executable file (HFXCC3098.exe). The hotfix will extract files automatically and run the RM Installation Assistant to install the hotfix.
4. When prompted, click Continue.
5. The installation will proceed automatically and may take several minutes to complete. When prompted that the RM Installation Assistant has finished, click Finish.
Note: After installation at a server, the server will need to be rebooted for the hotfix to be applied fully.
6. Repeat Steps 2-5 at all your other Community Connect 3 domain controllers.
7. Also 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 hotfix to be applied fully.
8. When all Community Connect 3 servers have had the hotfix applied, open the RM Management Console at a domain controller or a workstation.
9. In the RM Management Console, expand Workstations, right-click on Main Site and choose to Update Package List. Click Yes to confirm this action. Note: If you have a multi-site network, run this hotfix on every server at all sites and then update the package list once per site only.
10. Log in to the first Community Connect 3 domain controller server in each site as the administrator user (not SystemAdmin). Run Windows Explorer and browse to D:\RMNetwork\RMManage\Station Manager. Double-click on the file Healthcheck.exe, and select OK to start the Healthcheck, and OK again when it has completed.
11. HFXCC3098 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 1-10 above now, including running the Update Package List and the Station Manager health check. The simplest way to do this is to allocate all the packages at Main Site level. If you prefer to allocate them at a lower location, ensure that you do so for all workstations. The new security packages are listed as RM system packages as follows:
� HTML Help Security Update KB890175;
� HyperTerminal Security Update KB873339;
� Windows Kernel and LSASS Security Update KB885835;
� Wordpad Security Update KB885836.
12. Once you have allocated the packages to workstations, restart the workstations for the hotfixes to be installed. |
Installing after cancelling a previous install
|
1. Browse to D:\RMNetwork\RMManage\RM Hotfixes\HFXCC3098_extracted and double-click the file RM Installation Assistant.exe. (If this folder or its contents does not exist, re-run the HFXCC3098.exe file downloaded from the RM Support website).
2. The RM Installation Assistant will initialise; click Continue to proceed with the installation.
3. The installation should proceed automatically; click Finish when prompted.
4. Follow the procedures in 'How to install the Hotfix' from step 5 above. |
IMPORTANT - Interaction with RM Service Releases
