Acrobat Pro 9- turn of update for all users in terminal environment

I have Adobe Pro 9 installed on several terminal servers. Everytime users login they are seeing an insufficient rights for updating Adobe. I don't want to give them rights but the Configuration Wizard isn't out yet. The sales department conveniently forgot to tell me it wasn't out but sold me on the fact it would fix some of our headaches. I need some kind of fix please.

Hi eman_32,
You've posted in the AIR forum. Would you mind reposting this over on the Acrobat forums?
Thanks,
Chris

Unix command to stop Software updates for all users except admins?

I want to stop App Store and other software updates for all user accounts. Administrator accounts should still be able to do Software Updates.
Is there a terminal command that can do that i can push out through ARD?
Thanks

Managed preferences are the best bet. You could use Profile Manager or use the mcx command from the command line. I'd strongly suggest browsing over this before delving into MCX though...

(the Workgroup Manager application shown is deprecated, but it's essentially the same with Profiles and running MCX from the command line)

Adobe Brings Retina Display Support To Photoshop And Illustrator CS6 As A Free Update For All Users

Adobe Brings Retina Display Support To Photoshop And Illustrator CS6
As A Free Update For All Users..... if this is TRUE then how Do I get it. My CS is HORRIBLE visually. Does ANYONE know anything encouraging about this issue with Adobe CS and Retina Display???

As pointed out by John T Smith, you should post the questions in the correct forums to get swift replies. However, yes Adobe has made its promise good and the blog to that effect is here:

Good luck.

How do I disable the itunes auto-update for all users?

I need to know if there is a way to disable the auto-update feature for all users that login to a windows XP computer.
I have disabled it for the account currently logged in as well as copy that user profile to the "default user" profile. However I have about 300 users that do not have admin rights that still get prompted to install updates.
Is there a way to disable the auto update as the default for all users. So that only I get the auto update notifications?

Bump -
No responses in over a week?
Does no one else run a network where users don't have admin rights?

Install security updates for all users

I am using the a form with digital signatures fields, and when a user logs onto a pc and opens the form Adobe asks if you would like to install new security settings. I tell my user to click yes, but there are multiple users on multiple PCs that will be using this form. Is there a way to install this same setting for all users? I am using Adobe reader 9.3, and the form was deisgned with Designer. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

It would seem like that article ''should'' solve the problem, but it doesn't seem to have had any effect. I extracted the contents of the .xpi file into the browsers\extensions folder using the extension ID, yet that doesn't seem to have done anything. I ran firefox after copying the uncompressed files with an administrator account with no luck. Any thoughts?

How to Enable Auto-Complete for All users on Terminal Server

Hello,
I have 4 Microsoft 2003 Terminal Servers, and I want to enable Auto-Complete for all users, and I am unable to find a way to do this. I have tried creating a custom install of Adobe Reader, and installing that, but it isn't working. Ideas anyone?
Thanks in advanced

Block all websites apart from the homepage for all users. Citrix environment with Server 2003.

Citrix Xenapp 5 and Windows server 2003 environment. We want to force Firefox to kiosk mode with a pre-set homepage for all users. I also want to lock this to only one website. I have managed to set up the kiosk mode with R-Kiosk addon and Mozilla.cfg file. I am trying to use BlockSites to block all internet sites and only allow the one site with the whitelist option. I can get the addon to install for all users, but can’t get the default settings across. I have tried to add this with the Mozilla.cfg file, but it looks like this addon is getting it’s settings from the profile folder. If I set the preferences for the addon in Mozilla,cfg file, it actually picks it up but it doesn’t apply it to the addon for some reason. Does anyone have any other ideas on how I can lock this down to the one site?

I am not entirely sure how to do this, but the enterprise community would be a good place to ask. They have a email group you can ask on this page: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/]

We use a national system that requires Firefox 3.6.25, I am trying to find a way to silently install it with a "no update" for all users switch

/s does not work for silent either, will try -ms

[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Firefox 3.6.28] was the last security update for the the ancient 3.6 not the older 3.6.25.
You could try using [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ useragent switcher] to change the UA to the old 3.6.* or even do a manual override by setting '''general.useragent.override''' in '''about:config''' as a '''string''' and say the old 3.6.25 UA to fool site while being up to date security wise and not be [http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities vulnerable] as 3.6.28 even is rather behind.

Disable JRE Auto update in Vista for all users?

I feel like a complete idiot that I can't figure this out, but it's either so obvious I'm overlooking it, or I just plain can't figure it out, so I'm hoping someone here can help.
We have not yet been able to figure out how to simply disabled the Auto Update option when installing JRE under Vista, so it will never check for updates, no matter what user is logged into a pc. I've just installed the newest version 1.6.0_05-b13, but get the same results.
Basically, we are creating a "base clone image" of a Vista workstation and we need the auto update feature of the JRE to be disabled so it doesn't check for updates. When a new user logs into the pc, we want them to 'inherit' this setting from the default user profile, or we simply want a 'global' setting on the pc that stops all JAVA update checks from occuring. But even though there are multiple registry keys that 'look' like they control the auto update function, no matter how we set them the update option still shows it is enabled when you open the JAVA control panel.
We have 2 basic problems:
- When a standard user runs the JAVA Control Panel applet and they select the 'Update' tab, the option to "uncheck" autoupdates is "grayed out". If we make the user a local administrator, then it is not grayed out anymore and they can set the option. Problem is, we have thousands of users and none of them are local administrators, hence the problem of getting it to already be defaulted to not check for updates. How do we get the update checkbox to NOT be grayed out for a NON-administrator?
- How do we set the 'global' (or default) option to disable the auto update checkbox for ALL users? No matter what we try, when a new user logs in, the auto update feature is still enabled after their initial profile is generated from the first time login.
I was able to figure out if I change the "EnableJavaUpdate" value in the below registry key, it will "remove" the Update tab from the JAVA Control Panel. But does the simply remove the tab? Or does it remove the tab AND disable auto updates for ALL users on the computer?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
I've sent multiple emails to Sun asking for help on what should be a simple thing to do, but have never received a reply from them.
Keith Hemmelman

Thank you for the reply. I apologize for not getting back here sooner.
We actually already use a deployment.properties file located under the Default User profile on our Vista setup. It's located under the "C:\Users\Default\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment" folder. This file does get copied over to a new user profile when a new person logs in. This is what we want since we have set things like the maximum cache size and temporary file location.
The problem though is there is no setting that disables the automatic update check within this file. The best I can figure out is that for some reason under the Vista environment, the auto update setting is controlled in the registry at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
There is a REG_BINARY key there that appears to control this option. It is named "EnableAutoUpdateCheck". The problem is that the value of this key is "several" characters long and it is "different" from one user to the next. I tried disabling auto update under the Java Control Panel and then copied the value of this key into the same aread of the Default User hive but when a new user logs in, it ignores that setting and auto update is still enabled. I also tried using a simple "0" to disable the autoupdate or a "1" to enable it for this key, but it doesn't work either. (This is very frustrating why there isn't a simple 1 or 0 setting to turn the auto update setting on/off.)
We had no problem getting this to work under XP. Basically we didn't have to do anything special in XP. We simply created a temporary user account and made all the settings we wanted and then copied that profile over to our Default User profile and the Java autoupdate setting under the Java Control Panel was disabled for all new users. We did the same thing under Vista, but the auto update setting was ignored and re-enabled for all new users.
I read through the settings for the deployment.properties file located at the below link, but there is nothing there to control the auto update setting.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html
Thus, we can't get the auto update setting to be disabled in the default user profile so it will in turn be disabled for all new users that log into the computer. This is extremely frustrating.
The other equally frustrating problem we have run into under the Vista environment is that when you run the Java Control Panel, the option to disable the auto update check is "grayed out" and the user can't uncheck this option to disable auto update. We have found you must be an administrator before this option is no longer grayed out. Since none of our thousands of users are admins, this is also a problem for us. (This option works fine for a standard user if you are on a XP machine though. It's just Vista where things have changed.)
I've sent repeated emails to Sun in the past asking for help, but they never replied.

Moving Portal Favorites for All Users

Hi,
I need to migrate all portal favorites for all users from one environment to another (Test - Prod)
How can I do this with ICE when all I can see in the userhome directory a folder with my username and my favorites? Where are all the other users favorites stored?
Regards,
Roaa

Hi Rooa,
All Users Portal Favourites are stored under Content Administration -> KM Content -> Root -> Userhome.
This folder has all the data related / specific to a user. You can trasport this through to ICE to your other environment (QA or prod).
Check if this helps.

I' m trying to install Acrobat Pro 10.1.8 Update. I'm getting the Error "Istallation fehlgeschlagen" without Error code what can I do?

Hi,
I' m trying to install Acrobat Pro 10.1.8 Update. I'm getting the Error "Istallation fehlgeschlagen" without Error code . What can I do? I purchased CS5.1

You can get the updates for the MAC from Adobe - Acrobat : For Macintosh, but apparently you already found that. Two possibilities that I can think of: 1. You have anti-virus enabled and that is causing the failure or 2. You are trying to install an update and skipped ones before it. If you start with the latest update, the download indicates the previous version required for the update. It looks like 10.1.12 can install over any previous version, so I would go for broke and install the latest.

NewBlueFX - CC versions - turning off GPU for all products needed

I've had NewBlueFX plugins for quite a while now - but the one issue that bugs me about using them is I have to turn off GPU for all products when applying them (virtually every job). I was advised by NewBlue to do this when I was having problems editing and playback being messd around visually why editing.
Just installed (correctly) their updated CUDA versions and still no difference in preformance and still have to turn off GPU...
Clicking on the plugin applied>info>click "disable GPU for all products" and it all runs smoothly.
Does anyone else have the same issue? Is it an issue or is this normal? Why?
Should it not be that effects plugins like this should actually work with all the bells and whistles turned on - not off?
Having spent out on a machine with 24 cores, a Quadro 2000 card and stacks of memory - the machine should be able to handle a NewBlueFX plugin with GPU and everything turned on...?
Am willing to learn on this...

Just below "Extras" in the View menu there is "Show...", where you can check/uncheck individual items - permanently.
Ctrl+H (extras) is just a bucket to collect them all and turn off with a single shortcut.

Setting automatic update settings for all users

Hello all,
I'm trying to roll out Quicktime 7.6 to our corporate desktops with the automatic update feature within Quicktime disabled. In past installs we were able to make the setting change and then copy the quicktime.qtp file to the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\quicktime" directory on all the computers and all would be good. However with 7.6 is appears this file is now housed under the individual user's profile. Is there a way to make this a global setting for all users logging in to a pc?
Thanks in advance!

We have a similar problem in a High School, using Windows XP Pro, QT 7.x and Active Directory. While going to a Spanish Exam web page that uses QT, the students get locked into an auto update process. As restricted users, they can neither abort or accept the update, and are unable to complete the exam. We have found that unchecking the preference for auto update as an admin user does not uncheck it for anyone else. Under C:\Documents and Settings, there is no folder for Apple Software except for myself, once I have opened the QT preferences. I assume that Apple has hidden the location of the default preference to force updating, without regard to how that would work in a locked-down environment. It sure creates havoc when 30 students sit down for a timed and graded online exam!! Any answers out there?

Adobe Connect Pro Add-In for All Users

We need to install Adobe Connect Pro Add-In for all users in a Citrix environment. However, when installing the add-in there is no prompt to input a location. It directly installs the add-in on a specific user profile. Is there anyway to install this for all users as normal users do not have access to install anything on our environments? Please help as I cannot find any information on this.

Hi kylemkr
