This hotfix contains the client portion of the hotfix that is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 977203. However, 977203 also contains site server changes, which are not included in this hotfix. There is no overlap between server portions of these two fixes and they can be installed in any sequence. Also note the CCMCertFix.exe utility distributed with 977203 is not included as part of this hotfix. To obtain the CCMCertFix.exe utility, download the hotfix that is described in Knowledge Base article 977203, and then run the following command to extract the contents of the hotfix:msiexec.exe /a SCCM2007-SP2-KB977203-ENU.msi /qb targetdir=Path_To_Extract_To

Notes

In this command, the placeholder Path_To_Extract_To represents the location where the contents of the hotfix should be extracted. After the CCMCertFix.exe utility is extracted, you can find the utility in this location.
The name of the .msi file in this command may be different depending on the localized version that is downloaded. Check the name of the .msi file that is downloaded, and change the command line appropriately if this is necessary.

Install KB977384 during a task sequence

For operating system deployments, the KB977384 hotfix must be installed during a ConfigMgr 2007 OSD task sequence in the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr task. Otherwise, the problem will continue to occur while the task sequence is executed. Additionally, the Install Software task cannot be used to install the hotfix. Trying to do this will cause the ConfigMgr 2007 client service to stop, which will cause the task sequence to fail.

Note If the client update that is described in this article is being installed during the task sequence, it is not necessary to also install the client update that is described in Knowledge Base article 977203, because the client update is included as part of this update.

To install the KB977384 hotfix during a ConfigMgr 2007 OSD task sequence, use the PATCH= option that is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

907423

(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907423/ )

How to include an update in the initial installation of Systems Management Server 2003 Advanced Client

To install the KB977384 hotfix during a ConfigMgr 2007 OSD task sequence, follow these steps:

Apply the hotfix on the site server.
When the hotfix has been applied on the site server, the ConfigMgr 2007 client installation files will be updated to include the KB977384 hotfix in the directory \i386\hotfix\KB977384\ of the ConfigMgr 2007 client installation files. Because the ConfigMgr 2007 client installation files have been updated, make sure to update the distribution points where the ConfigMgr 2007 client installation package resides.
Right-click the task sequence that you need to change, and then click Edit.
Click Setup windows and ConfigMgr.
In the Installation properties box, type the following:
PATCH="C:\_SMSTaskSequence\OSD\<Package_ID>\i386\hotfix\KB977384\SCCM2007AC-SP2-KB977384-x86-enu.msp"

Note
- The <Package_ID> placeholder is the package ID of the ConfigMgr 2007 client installation package in ConfigMgr 2007.
- Make sure that you include the quotation marks as part of the path. However, do not include the brackets that are around the placeholder.
- Make sure that the package ID of the ConfigMgr 2007 client installation package is used and not the package ID of the KB977384 hotfix package.
- The _SMSTaskSequence cache folder will reside on the drive that has the most disk space. If the computer has multiple drives or partitions, the _SMSTaskSequence folder may end up on a drive other than drive C. In this scenario, change the path to point to the drive that contains the _SMSTaskSequence folder. We do not recommend that you use the variable _SMSTSMDataPath in the path because the drive letter in this path can enumerate differently in Windows PE than in the full Windows operating system.
- As an alternative to using the local path that points to the ConfigMgr 2007 client installation files that are located in the local Task Sequence cache, you can specify a UNC path that points to the ConfigMgr 2007 client installation files on the original package source or on a distribution point.
- Verify the name of the .msp file that is located in the directory \i386\hotfix\KB977384\ of the ConfigMgr 2007 client installation files. The name may differ depending on the locale. If the name differs from the name of the .msp file name that is used in the PATCH= command line in this step, adjust the name accordingly.
Click Apply or OK to save the task sequence.
