Tracking Conficker source down

Hello,

Every so many days, a boatload of our PCs come up with:

Mal/Conficker.A  - C:\windows\system32\(some filename)

I've got a Windows 7 PC which is fully patched, and so I am assuming that I am not infected and that the virus/spyware alert I get is just telling me that an infected PC tried to attack me and Sophos caught it.  Am I incorrect, and I am still vulnerable to infection somehow?

Im sure we have quite a few machines here that don't even have antivirus installed and/or don't have the Microsoft KB's applied which would patch the vulnerability which allows Conficker to spread.

File and folder sharing is on, we have 1,000+ PCs on the domain.  I can't re-image all of them at once so I am hoping to just get an idea of where these unprotected machines are.  This is a school district and it's hard to keep track of laptops.

Am I right in assuming that I am not actually being infected, and if so where is the source IP address logged?  I am more familiar with McAfee's product where it was much easier for me to find this info.

Thanks!

Nevin
