Adobe Flash v11.3.370.178 not properly working in Server 2012 RP?

Question

Has anyone gotten the bundled Flash to work in Server 2012?  Even if I completely disable all security within IE x86/x64/RT, the best I see is a blank interface for Flash that is the correct
size of what I'm trying to load, but no content displays and no flash interfaces show up.  Right clicking does bring up the Flash context menu.  If from there I go to About Adobe Flash Player, the version info will only show up on Adobe's site right
as I close the tab, and it’s much larger than it should be for the half a second it shows up.
This is broken in the released VHD and ISO so far as I can tell.

I always control the majority of IE settings via Group Policy and normally set the zone to medium-high.  I
never launch or elevate any browser with a user who’s a member of the Administrators group unless diagnosing an issue, and even then I normally do it within a snapshot. I don't even
run browsers as my normal limited user, I always de-elevate them to a different user who can't masquerade as my normal authentication.
I've had Flash x64 working in 2008 R2 since October, and x86 since 2003 Server. Never had a real problem with it on an RTM version of Windows, but heh, betas!
I'm not sure what you mean by Windows controlling Internet Security.  There are some settings that other browsers will respect from Internet Settings, but not many, and the firewall works
as a firewall should, can you clarify?

If security, privacy or contents settings in "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Internet Options" are more restrictive than the Firewall, the Internet Options will govern.  Specifically, when it comes to scripts, executables or anything
else from the internet that Windows thinks could change the system when it is opened, Windows will not let it be opened.  I don't really know this for a fact, it is just my opinion, but I've seen enough indications.  And UAC just makes it worse.
You are right that this is best done with Group Policy, especially on production systems.  The only reason you would do what I described is that it is an isolated test system and you are trying to get clues as to what policies you could try
setting to get it working the way you want (on the test system, of course).
I have my USB flash setup the way I want it and I will test it tomorrow.  It seems I never do anything the easy way, I had to make it elaborate.  I have set up so that it should be able to boot both efi and mbr, and will offer a menu of four OS setup
entries and a Recovery Console entry.  I've got Windows7, Windows 8, Server 2008R2, and Server 2012, all x64.  I've been using bcdedit for most of the last five or six hours.
