I would say that Hagrid knew at least before the actual 'outing', whether or not he knew before the night before isn't known. However, Hagrid asked Remus whether or not he might have eaten Buckbeak.
That doesn't seem like something that he might bring up 'calmly' at breakfast immediately upon learning Remus is a werewolf. Of course it IS possible that he did just that, but Hagrid seems more to me to be the type to respond by yelling if he was surprised by the fact that a werewolf was on the premises when one of his critters disappeared.
Of course, I really tend to believe that since Remus said he resigned 'first thing' that it's more likely that Hagrid asked Remus this question before he ever made it inside after his night on the loose.
It only makes sense that Hagrid would need to be warned that a werwolf who didn't take his potion is running around the forbidden forest loose that night. Unlike the rest of Hogwarts' residents, Hagird lives alone in a hut on the edge of that forest. He needs to be told to stay inside.
Even so, I'm not sure however exactly how well known Remus' lyncanthropy might be among most of the Order during the books. Obviously the Weasleys all know, as well as Sirius and his cousin Tonks. But did Dung know? How about Emmaline Vance? or Sturgis? I kust cannot tell from the books.
