HFXCC3154 can be installed on to Community Connect 3 networks with VPC for Community Connect 3 installed.

Community Connect 3 networks with Microsoft� Virtual PC.

This Update addresses an issue after applying VPC for Communiy Connect 3.

The installation of VPC for Community Connect 3 made changes to the Software Restrictions policy, and set the policy to read-only after these changes were made. As a result, any attempts to create new hash or path rules will fail, displaying the error message "Failed to modify rule for <path>".

This Update will remove the read-only flag on the Software Restrictions GPO.

This issue is caused by a Group Policy Object change delivered by VPC for Community Connect 3.

Note: The Update can be installed on to Community Connect 3 networks running Service Release 4 or above.

This Update should be installed on the first Community Connect 3 domain controller in each site. Servers and workstations will not need to be restarted after applying this Update to correct the issue.
