Can Adobe Air 3.1 be deployed via Group Policy?

I am looking for a definitive answer as to whether or not Adobe Air 3.1 can be deployed via Group Policy? I've found material on the web that is very contradictory. Can it be done and if so how? I can't find any solid instructions on how to deploy this application and need to have it installed on about 60 desktops.
We are trying to deploy the Salesforce.com Desktop Chatter application. Any helpful info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
I replied via email yesterday, but in case anyone else is following along here's what I said:
For GPO deployment, we don't officially "support" it (ie. we don't test for it internally), however I did run across this recent post where an admin had success.

Hope this helps,

Hit with Virus that executed via PowerShell Scripting. Can I disable Powershell on my network via Group Policy and what implications does that have for me.

Our network was hit recently with virus previously unknown, O97M.Crigent. It is a nasty Macro virus that targets Microsoft Office Documents & Spreadsheets and uses a combination of Macros and Scripts via Powershell.
How do I disable PowerShell scripting via Group Policy?
Will this raise any issues such as random application or network failures or other issues?
Can I apply it to the entire domain or should I be selective and only apply it to the workstations?
Network Summary: Windows 2008 Active Directoy Server, 75% Windows 7, 25% Windows XP workstations.

Disabling Windows PowerShell can be done with GPO:
Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows PowerShell
From GPO Description: "This setting exists under both "Computer Configuration" and "User Configuration" in the group policy editor. The "Computer Configuration" has precedence over "User Configuration."
By default this option is restricted any way on computers.
I would be very selective when apply it at all:
Workstations - I would apply to test group of workstations first, just to see that there are no side effects before applying to all computers.
Server - I wouldn't apply it at all. I have seen too many issues when setting this policy on Exchange and other systems.
If you are using a Group Policy to define a PowerShell logon, logoff or computer script, that script will disregard any execution policy set locally or through a GPO.

Excel 2013 - disable "scale content for a4 or 8.5 x11" paper sizes" deploy via group policy

In office 2010 and 2013, the option "scale content for a4 or 8.5 x11" paper sizes" is enabled by default in word and excel.
I need to be disable this option on all machines, since it conflicts with our printers and doesn't allow us to print.
Ideally this should be done by group policy as our users change very frequently.
I have found the policy to disable this option in word, but can't find a similar policy setting for excel.
Any idea how I can resolve this?

Create the below given registry key using GPP for Excel and apply that to the ou or security group to disable or enable the check mark.
0=Disable
1=enable
Navigate group policy "User Configuration\Preferences\Windows Settings\Registry"
Right click on Registry\New\Registry Item
Action: Update
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key Path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Options

Updating Existing Install and adding extensions via Group Policy

We have recently installed StarOffice 8 due a full planned move away from Microsoft Office 2003, we have deployed the CD install via group policy to test the functionality of StarOffice in a school environment. Due to a problem cropping images in Writer (cropooo 0.2.1 extension needed) we are having to update to the latest patch ver10 (300+pc's). Is there a way to automate this via GPO? We only have the standard version of staroffice 8 and not the enterprise CD so we can not make a custom transform file. Also can extensions be deployed via Group Policy? We are runnning a Windows 2k3 server with XP clients.

Please make sure that the user can read from the data point you place the files.

Is there a way to deploy Adobe Air package via Group Policy or SCCM?

Is there a way to deploy Adobe Air package via Group Policy or SCCM?

hi,
I guess you can try the following options
Remove the all the entry from the TOC of your project or create a new blank TOC and select that while AIR file generation
Remove the all the entry from the index of your project or create a new blank index and select that while AIR file generation
Remove the all the entry from the glossary of your project or create a new blank glossary file and select that while AIR file generation
THis will ensure that TOC/Index/Glossary page is not shown,
There is no way to hide Favorite or RSS from the AIR Help. Again, you can try looking at the Unipane Template provided in the AIR SSL Dialog.
Hope this helps

Can Adobe Air build multiple live video chat and whiteboard application?

Can Adobe Air build multiple live video chat application? and
whiteboard like MSN whiteboard?
Is there any online documentation?

1) any practical use of P2P multicast will have a delay measured in seconds. it shouldn't go to 30 seconds unless you have a large NetStream.bufferTime.
2) i strongly recommend against changing the multicast stream parameters. they all interact with each other. decreasing the window duration will decrease the effective reliability of the stream, by reducing the amount of time to receive all of the fragments of the stream as they pass through the P2P group -- especially when people join or leave the group, which can disrupt the low latency "push" trees that are constructed in the group.
3) you should be able to change the encoding parameters on the fly without a major disruption. are you using H.264 or Sorenson Spark? it's possible that your camera doesn't like to have its capture size changed and it is freezing temporarily. i'm not having any trouble changing the capture size with my camera (and using H.264). i recall there being some issue with changing the frames-per-second on the fly (at least some time ago, and i don't remember what the issue is) -- there was enough of an issue that i disabled it in my little app while actively publishing.

Enable auto update while deploying Reader 11 via group policy

I would like to push the latest adobe reader 11 out via group policy. I have tried using the adobe customization wizard but I am unable to set the installs to auto update. They default to download the update and prompt the user. I do'nt want the user to be prompted at all. I just want it to automatically update. Is there an easy way to deploy this?
I would like it to be like flash. You can deploy the mms.cfg file and it configured flash to auto update.
Thanks,

Install Contribute CS4 via Group Policy?

Hi,
We have just purchased some copies of Contribute CS4 and I need to deploy them via a Group Policy. Normally, I will do this with the MSI that has already been created by the manufacturer and do an administrative install (msiexec /a <productname>.msi) but there is only a WinBootstrapper.msi file for Contribute CS4.
Can anyone share with me how they have installed Contribute CS4 via Group Policy?
Thanks.
Pete.

Disable Private Browsing via Group policy

We are a medium sized business using Firefox 27.0.1. I have been looking for a way to control private browsing via group policy for a while but there are no clear answers on how a system administrator can do this without a convoluted process of editing files that can't be found anywhere on a computer.
Our environment:
windows 2008 DC
using group policy
500 users, all windows
Do not use any proxy or L7 filtering
I've looked into using the adm file that is available from the link below. I've sifted through the code and followed instructions for the lockdown process for Computer and User configuration; however, nothing works.
http://4sysops.com/archives/group-policy-for-firefox-and-chrome/#download-the-adm-files
If someone can point me to a registry entry or a vbs file that can be used as a start up script, it would be greatly appreciated by myself and all the system administrators of the world that are trying to decrease private browsing in organizations.
Between the 3 major browsers we are using on our Windows platform (IE, Chrome Firefox); Firefox seems to be a challenge to control. I have been successful in controlling settings via group policy for the other two. I'm working on a cumulative step by step document for this and will share with the world when I am able to configure Firefox.

Thanks for those suggestions; however, they don't help sysadmins that already have the non-enterprise version in their environment. From what I gather, there really isn't a straightforward way of doing this via group policy in a Windows environment without first removing the app and then deploying it with customizations (using tools suggested).
I guess I'll go with the answer "No, there isn't a straighforward way of controlling Firefox through Group policy".

Fireworks 8 Installation Problem via Group Policy

Hi,
We are trying deploy Studio 8 across our site using the
provided MSI's and Group Policy following this guide -
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=332882
I have created the mst files for all products and set them to
be deployed by group policy. Dreamweaver, Flash, Contribute, Flash
Video Encoder and Flash Extensions Manager all install fine however
Fireworks will not, looking in the event log it doesn't even
attempt to install. All folders have the same permissions, the MSI
& MSTs are all part of the same Group Policy Object using the
"Software Installation" method with the same permissions.
Fireworks will install using MSIEXEC from the command line so
the package and mst are fine.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks
Matt

We are having the same issue here at our NSW High School. I
have traced the problem to be that Fireworks wants to deploy in
Chinese (instead of English) and because of this it will not
install. I am looking for a way to convert the msi file to an mst
so I can choose English as the default install language.
Hope this info is useful

Change settings to "Always Allow" via Group Policy

We upgraded our Flash Players from v6 to v8 (I know v9 is out
we haven't go there yet) a couple months ago, and we've just
noticed that we can not access some of our local stored Flash
content. Then error we get is "Macromedia Flash Player has stopped
a potentially unsafe operation. The following local application on
your computer your computer or network:
H:\some\network\file.swf: localhost"
I found on Adobe's website how I could add the site/file as a
trusted location via the Settings Manager Global Security Settings
panel. Problem is that I can't seem to figure how to accecss the
Security panel, unless I do it from a computer which has internet
access, which my network does not. Also once I make these changes I
don't know how I can push out this change to all the computers on
my network. I thought I could do it via windows group policy, but I
don't see any documentation from adobe showing what registry
keys/files need to be updated/changed to make these certain
settings via group policy. Can anyone help?

I found that if I copy the settings.sol to a users profile,
but I have over 1000+ users on our network......surely there's got
to be an easier way?!?!?!?
