AcroRead.mst settings not applied in installation

Hello,
I downloaded Adobe reader 11, dutch (AdbeRdr11000_nl_NL.exe) and extracted it:
AdbeRdr11000_nl_NL.exe -nos_oc:\temp\temp1\files\2 -nos_ne
Then I opened the .MSI file with the Adobe customization wizard and changed some settings (Eula, updates etc).
After that I saved it and AcroRead.mst was created.
Then on the client (logged in as Administrator) I copied all the files in c:\temp and entered:
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" /quiet
Adobe reader gets installed and I can open it but the changes from the customization wizard are NOT applied.
When I start adobe, I get the EULA and the product updates are still configured as automatic.
I tried with other settings and full path names like these:
msiexec.exe /i "c:\temp\adobe\AcroRead.msi" TRANSFORMS="c:\temp\adobe\AcroRead.mst" /quiet
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst /quiet
msiexec.exe /i /qn AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst
msiexec.exe /i "AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
msiexec.exe /i AcroRead.msi /q TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
But the result is the same, Adobe reader is installed but without the changed settings.
Could someone help with this please ?
I don't know anymore what to do.
thanks.

Copy the examples from http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/cmdline.html#command-line-exa mples so that you don't have to try random cmd lines. For example, quotes are only used around property params.
Enable logging, and if you still have problems, post you cmd line and log.

  • User Group Policy Settings not applied to new user profiles at first logon

    Good Afternoon,
    We have an issue that occurs to a new user when they first log on to their machines. They log on and a new profile creates from the Default User Profile. We can see that a number of our Group Policy Settings applied as "User Configuration" are
    not applying.A log off and back on is required before the policies apply.
    Any thoughts to this behaviour please?

    Hi,
    How about your problem now? How many system encounter this problem? Is all policy couldn't be applied? Is there any feedback when using gpresult to check policy applied status?
    As Group Policy applies after user identity authentication, generally speaking, user logoff and back doesn't helpful with this problem.
    When this problem occures, have you checked event log if it identify this problem?

  • Ie11 administrative template settings not applied

    2008 R2 domain with mostly windows 7 clients running ie8. upcoming project to upgrade them to ie11.
    I copied the inetres.admx and inetres.adml files from the PolicyDefinitions folder on a windows 8.1 PC with ie11 and pasted them into the central store.
    I created a new GPO that configures "access data across domains" to "disabled" from user configuration/policies/administrative templates/windows components/internet explorer/internet control panel/security page/internet zone.
    I logged into four test machines with the same user account.
    windows 7 with ie8
    windows 7 with ie9
    windows 8 with ie10
    windows 8.1 with ie11
    all four machines show this setting correctly Disabled with my GPO as the winning GPO in RSOP, but *only* the ie8 machine properly shows this setting as Disabled in its Internet Settings. the ie9, ie10, and ie11 machines all have the setting Enabled in their
    Internet Settings.
    full disclosure: there is an old-school Internet Explorer Maintenance GPO in place that sets this to Enabled. but in theory, that GPO should only affect the ie8 and ie9 machines, right? and yet the ie8 machine is the only one getting the correct
    setting from my new administrative template GPO.
    is there an easy way in GPMC to tell if i'm actually working with the ie11 version of inetres.admx or not? some setting that's new for this version?

    ARRRGHHH!!!
    found it. *somebody* set up a Computer Settings GPO applying these same administrative template IE settings to all workstations. I'm going to guess this GPO was set up prior to my arrival at this job in 2005 because I don't remember doing it, and
    it would never have occurred to me to put these settings on the machine side--as evidenced by the fact that i've only been looking at the user side in RSOP during this whole thread. the IE settings in this machine GPO also match up with the settings
    in the old IEM GPO we've been using, so it appeared as though IEM was configuring everything.
    thanks everybody for your time and your help.

  • [solved][laptop-mode-tools] hard drive power settings not applied

    I've used the laptop-mode-tools now for quite some time. However, recently the power management settings are not applied anymore. Possibly since updating to systemd...
    My laptop-mode.conf looks as follows:
    CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=1
    # Power management for HD (hdparm -B values)
    BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=254
    LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
    NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
    However, even after doing a systemctl restart laptop-mode-tools.service I always get
    $ sudo hdparm -B /dev/sda
    /dev/sda:
    APM_level = 96
    Setting it manually works:
    $ sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
    /dev/sda:
    setting Advanced Power Management level to 0xfe (254)
    APM_level = 254
    $ sudo hdparm -B /dev/sda
    /dev/sda:
    APM_level = 254
    Of course, the settings are lost upon rebooting in this case.
    Any idea where the problem could be?

    I apologize if it is bad style to answer to a post marked as [solved] but:
    Same problem here!
    HDParm-settings are not applied on boot by LMT.
    laptop-mode.conf:
    # Should laptop mode tools control the hard drive power management settings?
    # Set to 0 to disable
    CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT="auto"
    # Power management for HD (hdparm -B values)
    BATT_HD_POWERMGMT=100
    LM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=200
    NOLM_AC_HD_POWERMGMT=254
    # hdparm -B /dev/sda
    /dev/sda:
    APM_level = 96
    Any ideas or solutions on this so far?
    And why is this post marked as 'solved'?
    edit:
    1.) manual set hdparm-settings survive reboot but not suspend!
    2.) no difference between CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT="auto" or "1"
    3.)

  • Hide Display Settings not applied in User GPO

    Hello,
    I am trying to hide the display settings via a GPO so folks can't change the resolution. I set the "Disable the Display Control Panel" setting to enable, but users can still go to the Control Panel and change the display settings. Other parts of
    the GPO are applying, like the Ctrl+Alt+Del settings. The GPO has the loopback function set to replace. From my understanding, that should force all user settings in that GPO on everyone who logs into the computer, whether they are in that OU or not.
    Some settings apply, just not the Display settings. Is there something else I have to enable to get that working?
    Thanks

  • X11 Keyboard Settings Not Applied on Boot

    I'm having problems setting my keyboard layout on boot in X11 using Xorg.conf.d. Specifically, I would like to set the default X keyboard to be Programmer Dvorak on boot with the caps:swapescape option on. I have followed the instructions on the Wiki for setting the default X keyboard; however, on boot the caps:swapescape option is applied but otherwise the layout is the standard US QWERTY layout. Setting the keyboard manually using the following command always works:
    setxkbmap us -variant "dvp" -option "caps:swapescape
    Here is the relevant Xorg.conf.d (10-keyboard.conf) file:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    Option "XkbVariant" "dvp"
    Option "XkbOptions" "caps:swapescape"
    EndSection
    The other thing that is strange is that the output of setxkbmap doesn't change between boot (incorrect keymap) and when the keymap is set manually.
    $ setxkbmap -query -print -verbose 10
    Setting verbose level to 10
    locale is C

    Any pointers in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated.

    I remember having had the same issue with Gnome which ignores the settings in Xorg.d completely. I would assume the same for Xfce although not for WMFS.
    Does this help?

  • ACR settings not applied to jpegs in Explorer?

    I use Camera Raw in Bridge to batch edit photos which are jpegs. At the moment, when I make changes and click "done", the changes are applied to the photos in Bridge, but when I view them in Explorer, they are still in the original state.
    Before I installed Windows 7, the above procedure would change the photos in Explorer as well as Bridge, is there any way to resolve my problem?
    I have xml files disabled and are having changes saved in the ACR database, if that information helps.

    The ACR edits are recorded in a text section within the jpeg, do not actually change the image pixels.  Therefore, when  viewed outside of ACR/Bridge/PS they appear as before the edits, since no other apps use the exif data.
    To make this work, you need to "Save" out of ACR, creating new jpegs, which then incorprates the edits into the image pixels.

  • Windows 8.1 - Security policies not applying

    Hi All,
    I'm having a bit of an issue with group policy settings not applying on Windows 8.1. Most of the policies are applying as they should but for some
    reason certain security settings (Password policy, Account lockout policy, Interactive logon message etc.) are not.
    I can see from GPResult that the policy is not filtered out and can confirm that some of the settings from the policy are getting applied!
    FYI: The DC is WS2003 and we have not imported the Windows 8.1 ADMX templates... Could that be causing the issue?
    Any help you guys might be able offer would be greatly appreciated!

    As I know, Security policy like Password policy, Account lockout policy, Interactive logon message should work even the DC is Win Server 2003.
    I suggest you check whether these policy are overridden by other GPOs due to the the GPO Priority, you can find detailed information in this link

  • Acrobat 8 Standard will not apply transform file during installation

    I also posted this in the Acrobat form before I noticed this Enterprise Installation forum.
    I am using the Adobe 8 customization wizard to create an MST file for Acrobat 8 Standard. The MST file disables automatic updates, Acrobat Connect and several other items, however, when I run the install with the transform, none of the changes in the MST are applied. I am using the following command inside a batch file:
    msiexec /i acrostan.msi TRANSFORMS=ACROSTAN.MST /qb
    I am using the Standard files downloaded from Adobe's secure site, which were then unzipped and used with the customization wizard. I did not create an administrative installation point, as that earlier attempt also resulted in not applying the transform.
    I believe the transform file is correct, as I found the above command will work the second time I try to install Standard, but does not work the first time Standard is installed using the MST file.

    can you post your transform somewhere? take out the serial number before posting. You might also want to create an install log.

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

  • Custom settings of Edit-in Preset not applied to image in PS

    I am having a problem with my custom made EDIT-IN Preset. While clicking on it launches the image (dng, psd or tiff) in PS, the custom settings of the preset (in my case: 8bit, sRGB) are not applied to the image. Instead the image is opened in PS with the default settings as specified in the Preference menu (in my case: 16bit, ProPhoto RGB).
    I am running LR2.2 & PS CS3 (10.0.1) on a 64bit Windows Vista Business machine.
    The settings of the preset are:
    Application: Photoshop.exe
    File Format: TIFF
    Color Space: sRGB
    Bit Depth: 8 Bits
    Resolution: 240

  • Default Domain Policy Not Applying Settings to Servers or Clients

    I have 2008 R2 DC's with a functioning level of 2003.  Our domain servers are a mix of 2003, 2008, 2008 R2, and 2012 and our clients are a mix of Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8.1 Pro.
    I recently made a change to the Default Domain Policy located at Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
    For the Security Policy setting called: Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos
    The change was to enable DES because of a specific need that I have with an application that I work with but enabling DES and leaving the other options such AES unselected caused other applications to not work right.  I decided to revert the changes
    back to "Not Defined" but those changes did not reflect on the servers even after running the gpupdate /force command.
    In order to keep the application working that broke, we enabled all of the encryption levels such as DES, AES, etc. on the server that's running the application via it's Local Security Policy as a temporary fix.
    Now, I want to make sure all servers receive the settings from the Default Domain Policy and have their Local Security Policies reflect the "Not Defined" setting but it's not applying.  It seems like they worked when I first applied them but
    when I try to remove them it does not work.
    If I change the setting directly on the Local Security Policy on the server or clients it shows "No minimum" instead of "Not Defined" which I've heard can be fixed by identifying the registry entry for that setting and deleting it...so
    help with the location and how to identify that key would also be helpful.
    My goal is not to manually have to change servers and clients to revert back to their default settings...I want the Domain policy to apply and override the servers and client's Local Security Policy.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

    I have 2008 R2 DC's with a functioning level of 2003.  Our domain servers are a mix of 2003, 2008, 2008 R2, and 2012 and our clients are a mix of Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8.1 Pro.
    I recently made a change to the Default Domain Policy located at Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
    For the Security Policy setting called: Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos
    refer:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj852180(v=ws.10).aspx
    We needed to implement a similar scenario a few years ago (when we introduced Windows7 into our estate).
    We had an SAP/NetWeaver implementation which always worked on WinXP, but failed on Win7.
    We had to enable the DES ciphers, since those were disabled by default in Win7. We discovered that we also needed to enable all the other ciphers (those which are enabled by default[not configured]).
    i.e., when we changed the setting from "Not Configured", enabled DES, and left the RC4/AES stuff untouched by us, the RC4/AES stuff attracted a status of disabled.
    So, we had to set the DES ciphers to Enabled, and, also set the RC4/AES ciphers to Enabled - this gave us the "resultant" enablement of the default stuff and the needed change/addition of DES.
    When you set a GP setting "back to Not Configured", depending upon the setting *AND* the individual Windows feature itself - one of two things will happen:
    a) the feature will "revert" to default behaviour
    b) the feature will retain the current configured behaviour but becomes un-managed
    In classic Group Policy terms, condition (b) above is often referred to as "tattooing", i.e., the last GP setting remains in effect even though GPMC/RSOP/etc does not reveal that to be the case.
    (This is also a really good example of not doing this sort of stuff in the DDP. It could have borked your whole domain :)
    What I'd suggest, is that you re-enable your ciphers for KRB settings again - this time, enable all the ciphers that would normally be "default", let that replicate around, and allow time for domain members to action it.
    Then, set the setting back to Not Configured. This way, the "last" settings issued by GP will be those you want to remain as the "legacy".
    Note: the GP settings reference s/sheet, has this to say:
    Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos
    This policy setting allows you to set the encryption types that Kerberos is allowed to use.
    If not selected, the encryption type will not be allowed. This setting may affect compatibility with client computers or services and applications. Multiple selections are permitted.
    This policy is supported on at least Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
