Update for RM Station Tidy Enhancements [HFXCC3155]
Published Date : 31 May 2007�� Last Updated : 13 Feb 2020�� Content Ref: DWN802291��





Description

**Please note this only applies to Community Connect 3™ and RM Smart-Tools 3 networks.**

Note: Any references to Community Connect 3 in this document apply equally to RM Smart-Tools 3.

Before installing any software update, please refer to TEC90813 and DWN59018 on the RM Support Web site. These articles detail RM's recommendations regarding Software Update installation and support.



Platforms

It is recommended that you apply this Update if you have installed RM Station Tidy Enhancements.

HFXCC3155 should be installed on all Community Connect 3 domain controller servers beginning with the Forest Root. Servers will not need to be restarted after applying this software update, but workstations will need to be restarted to upgrade RM Station Tidy and RM Keep List.



Symptoms

A number of issues had been identified with the original release of RM Station Tidy Enhancements which are listed below:

  1. The original release of RM Station Tidy Enhancements was not compatible with Microsoft� .NET Framework 2.0. The update to RM Station Tidy Enhancements, provided in HFXCC3155, now requires Microsoft� .NET Framework 2.0.
  2. RM Station Tidy used HTTP remoting which may have been blocked by some firewalls.
  3. The triggers that cause RM Station Tidy to delete eligible profiles may occur too infrequently or never at all for some sites, the triggers being workstation lock, screen saver start and the workstation being idle for more than ten minutes between 12:30 and 13:30 each day.
  4. Multiple instances of RM Station Tidy may run at once which could duplicate entries in the RM Station Tidy log files and potential conflicts.
  5. The RM Station Tidy service sometimes failed to shut down during uninstallation.


Cause

  1. RM Station Tidy uses the COM Callable Wrapper (CCW) that is installed with the Microsoft� Framework. As there can only be one version of the CCW on a workstation - the latest version - RM Station Tidy used the version which is not compatible with .NET 2.0 Remoting. This has been resolved by rebuilding RM Station Tidy in .NET 2.0. Please note that this requires the Microsoft� .NET 2.0 Framework be installed on to workstations - it is not installed using this Update.
  2. RM Station Tidy now uses an IPC channel to communicate on the workstation, as IPC does not use any network layers. This avoids possible issues with firewalls.
  3. RM Station Tidy will now delete eligible profiles if the workstation is locked, the screen saver starts, or the workstation is powered up at 7:30am and not in use. Please refer to TEC903674 for more details on how Station Tidy works.
  4. Only one instance of RM Station Tidy is now permitted, if it is already running new instances will not load.
  5. The uninstaller will wait for the RM Station Tidy service to shut down before continuing.
