Contents of Patch 176:
----------------------

24412
Component: Installer
Platform: Windows only
Summary: Patch installer for Windows causes issues
Under some conditions the Windows patch installer caused the Registry
and the IIS metabase to become out of synch, resulting in a system that
exhibits the following symptoms:

- An "extra" IIS instance is created and started.
- The Control Center erroneously reports that all MTAs are stopped.
- It is no longer possible to control the IIS MTA instances from within the Control Center GUI.


Pre-Installation Steps for Scanner Only and Scanner/BCC Combo Machines
======================================================================

1. This patch ensures that the windows installer will no longer cause
   the conditions described above.  If your system is currently
   experiencing those symptoms, you MUST perform the steps documented at
   http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-brightmailkb.nsf/docid/2007021515455463
   prior to installing this patch.  If your systems are NOT currently
   experiencing those symptoms, you may safely bypass this step.


2.  If you have configured any new IIS virtual servers on the Scanner system
    subsequent to installing SMSSMTP 5.0, these instances MUST be removed prior
    to installing this patch.  Open the Internet Services Manager.  Find and
    delete any SMTP virtual servers other than the Symantec embedded MTAs and
    the default SMTP Server.  If you have NOT configured any new IIS virtual
    servers on the Scanner system, then you may safely bypass this step.



Installation Instructions
=========================

It is recommended that you set each Scanner that you are patching to
temporarily reject incoming connections. It is also recommended that
you drain the message queues before you apply this patch, unless the
issues addressed in this patch resolve problems with messages which
are currently stuck in the queues.

Draining your message queues
----------------------------
To stop delivery and drain a Scanner's message queue
1 In the Control Center, click Settings > Hosts.
2 Check the box next to the Scanner and click Edit.
3 Click Do not accept incoming messages.
4 Click Save.
5 Allow messages to drain from the queue.
  You can check message queue status in Status > Message Queues.

To re-enable message delivery (do this after you have installed the patch)
1 In the Control Center, click Settings > Hosts.
2 Check the box next to the Scanner and click Edit.
3 Click Accept and deliver messages normally.
4 Click Save.

To install the patch, follow these steps:

Windows:

Install instructions:

1.  Download the patch installers for Scanner and Control Center.
