P Drive - Manual Install of Sasser Worm fix, Security Patches and SMS Advanced Client

Save and close all open programs and files. This install will force a reboot when complete. There will be no warning or opportunity to close files before the reboot. The install will wait at least twice for a response from you so you can't leave and expect it to be done when you return.
Click on Start.
Click on Run...
In the Open: field in the Run window enter p:\sassercd\install.vbs.
Click on the OK button.
If this command fails, enter one of the following in the Open: field.

\\psh-common-01\peoplenet32\sassercd\install.vbs (Pleasanton) or
\\corfaxs1\peoplenet32\sassercd\install.vbs (Denver)

When the install window opens click OK to begin the install.
You may have to answer some prompts manually but please wait about 30 seconds before manually answering a prompt to see if the prompt will be answered automatically.
The install of the SMS client will take approximately 10 minutes. The time remaining on the status bar will change during the install process and so is not a reliable indicator of time remaining.
After the SMS client is installed an Anti-Virus window will open to scan your machine for the Sasser worm.
Select OK for windows that open during the scanning / repair process.
After the Anti-Virus process is complete the security patches will install.
After the security patches have been installed the machine will shut-down then reboot.
Do not interrupt the reboot!. The installation process finishes after the reboot. The machine is not fully patched until then.
When the log-on screen reappears log on normally. The installation process will complete automatically and will not interfere with you beginning work.
