 * 1) Create a folder in a location that is accessible to your SMS site servers and to SMS Administrator console installations.
 * 2) Copy the update file (Q325772.exe) and platform folders to the new folder. The update file must be located one folder &quot;above&quot; the platform folders in your folder structure.
 * 3) From each SMS Administrator console installation and each SMS site server (primary and secondary servers) in your environment, log on to your site server by using an account with administrator permissions.
 * 4) Quit the SMS Administrator console, if it is running.
