MORE INFORMATION

To manually install the hotfix, perform the following steps on the Systems Management Server site server:
  1. In the <SMS_root_directory>\Site.srv\Maincfg.box\Client.src\X86.bin directory on the site server, replace the Invos2.exe file with the version obtained from the hotfix.

    NOTE: You can perform Step 1 automatically by using Hotfix.exe with the provided Hotfix.ini file.
  2. The file will be replicated at the next Maintenance Manager work cycle to all Systems Management Server logon servers to the SMS\Logon.srv\X86.bin directory. When that occurs, the clients can be updated.

    To update the clients, either manually run Upgrade.bat on each client, or follow the instructions in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
