Microsoft� has released significant security updates for Microsoft� Windows�. HFXCC3152 contains these updates in a format easily applied to Community Connect 3 networks.

We recommend that you apply this Security Update without delay. Important: This Security Update can be installed on to Community Connect 3 networks with HFXCC3110B or equivalent, ie RM AppAgent version 1.37.3.0 or greater.

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 there are no known issues related to HFXCC3152.

• HFXCC3152 should be installed on Community Connect 3 networks with Service Release 4 (SR4) or above, and HFXCC3110B or equivalent.
• This Security Update should be installed on to all Community Connect 3 servers.

Note:  All servers and workstations 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.

HFXCC3152 contains the following Microsoft� security updates:

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

HFXCC3152 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.

1.      Click the HFXCC3152.exe file link 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 HFXCC3152, 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 HFXCC3152.

2.      Log on to your first Community Connect 3 domain controller as Administrator (not SystemAdmin) 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 (HFXCC3152.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.

Note: After installation at a server, the server will need to be rebooted for the Microsoft^� security updates to be applied fully. Ensure the server has rebooted successfully before continuing.

6.      Repeat Steps 2-5 at all your other Community Connect 3 domain controllers.

7.      Also 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.

8.      When all Community Connect 3 domain controllers have had HFXCC3152 applied, log in to the first Community Connect 3 domain controller server in each site as the administrator user (not SystemAdmin). 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 Healthcheck, and OK again when it has completed.

9.      HFXCC3152 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 health check.  

1.      Browse to D:\RMNetwork\RMManage\RM Hotfixes\HFXCC3152_extracted and double-click the file RM Installation Assistant.exe. (If this folder or its contents does not exist, re-run the HFXCC3152.exe file downloaded from the RM Support website).

2.      Follow the procedures from step 4 in the Installation section above.

Some of the components of HFXCC3152 are included in RM Service Release 6 for Community Connect 3.

The Security Update can be installed on to networks running Community Connect 3 with Service Release 4 or above, and HFXCC3110B or equivalent.

HFXCC3152 is not included in Service Release 4 or 5. It will not need to be re-applied if originally installed before Service Release 5 is installed.

See the Description section for full list.  HFXCC3152 contains five new workstation packages and a component to update servers with the relevant Microsoft^� security updates. 

HFXCC3152 does not contain the following security bulletins released by Microsoft^� in February 2006:

1.      MS06-004: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (910620). This Security Update only affects Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 4 on Microsoft^� Windows^� 2000 Service Pack 4.

2.      MS06-009: Vulnerability in the Korean Input Method Editor Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (901190). This issue only affects the Korean Input Method Editor in Office 2003. RM is assessing this Security Update and may include it in a future update to the Office 2003 Multilingual User Interface Pack.

3.      MS06-010: Vulnerability in PowerPoint 2000 Could Allow Information Disclosure (889167). This Security Update is not provided as it has been assessed as being of low impact for Community Connect 3. The vulnerability requires significant social engineering to execute and Community Connect 3 security protects the Temporary Internet Files Folder location over and above a default Windows configuration. Furthermore, this Security Update only allows PowerPoint to warn a user that content may be unsafe - the user would still be required to refuse to open the content.
