System Center Service Manager Disaster Recovery Guide.Note This cumulative update cannot be uninstalled after you install it.

To install this cumulative update, follow these steps:

1. Exit all Service Manager-related applications before you apply this cumulative update. For example, exit the Service Manager Console, the Self-Service Portal links, and the authoring tool.

2. Download the cumulative update to a target folder.

3. Open the target folder.

4. Right-click the following file, and then click Run as administrator:

   SCSM2010_SP1_AMD64_KB2484853.exe

5. Accept the Microsoft Software License Terms, and then follow the steps in the installation wizard.

6. For the Data Warehouse Management Server, manually start the System Center Management service after the cumulative update installation is complete.

Important An additional step is required if you previously imported a custom management pack that defines a fact table that contains properties. In this case, you have to upgrade the custom management pack. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Increase the management pack version.

2. Reseal the management pack.

3. Reimport the management pack.
   
   The MPSyncJob job will then automatically sync the reimported management pack to the data warehouse on the next synchronization, and the affected transform procedures will be updated.

On systems that have the Service Manager Authoring Tool installed, update the management packs in the Library folder of the Authoring Tool. To do this, follow these steps:

1. From the Cumulative Update 3 download page, download the following file to the local computer on which the Authoring Tool is installed:

   KB2484853_MPLibraryUpdate_AuthoringTool.exe

2. Double-click the .exe file, and then wait for the files to be extracted.

3. Locate the following folder:

   %SystemDrive%\Microsoft System Center\Service Manager 2010\hotfix_KB2484853\AuthoringToolMPUpdate This is where the management pack files were extracted.

4. Copy all files from that folder to the following folder, replacing the existing files:

   Authoring Tool installation drive\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft System Center\Service Manager 2010 Authoring\Library\

5. If the Authoring Tool is running, restart it to load the updated management packs.

Note If you do not update the management packs in the Library folder of the Authoring Tool, and then you later try to open a management pack in the Service Manager Authoring Tool that references the updated management packs that are included with this cumulative update, you are prompted to specify the location of the updated management packs. The dialog box that is displayed may contain the following text:
