The I386 and Alpha subfolders are required; you must also download them from the Microsoft FTP site. It is important to keep the folder structure intact. The Q327344.exe file is a Microsoft Windows Installer file that updates specific files on your site server.

How to Manually Install the Hotfix

2. Quit the SMS Administrator console and stop all SMS services in Control Panel. Also stop the Windows Management or Windows Management Instrumentation service. If the SMS_SITE_BACKUP service is running, stop it also.
3. Replace the Baseutil.dll file in the Sms_root_folder\Bin\Platform folder with the version from the hotfix.
4. Replace the Distmgr.dll file in the Sms_root_folder\Bin\Platform folder with the version from the hotfix.
5. Restart all of the SMS services, and restart the Windows Management or Windows Management Instrumentation service.
