Customize Firefox installer for enterprise deployment

Edit the firefox installer (.exe) for enterprise deployment.
Add certificates and network settings to the exe installer to deploy to our company.

Did you try the CCK (Client Customization Kit) Wizard extension?
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cck/
Mike Kaply who created the CCK Wizard extension also wrote a lot of articles about customizing Firefox.

Export for Enterprise Deployment

I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet, but is there a way to package a Flash app for iPad/iPhone for enterprise deployment? Apple does this with their XCode development tool. It's always the common sense stuff that Adobe leaves out and never has any information on.
Thanks.
Nathan

Have you found out the solution yet? I am faced with the same issue and need to deploy to a client ASAP. I need to know what the publishing setting would be: Debug, Ad-Hoc, or App store. I thing that the App store one should be used. I will be giving my client both a debug and an App store version. We will see what happens.

Using AAMEE to Package CS6 for Enterprise Deployment | Creative Suite In The Enterprise | Adobe TV

CS6 software requires activation and Adobe ID login. By packaging CS6 with AAMEE 3.0 before deployment, only the IT Admins needs to complete a one-time package activation and Adobe ID login, individual users of thesoftware do not. Learn about these new requirements and how to help yourenterprise customers through this new process by using the free AAMEEtool. AAMEE also gives you advanced package configuration and updat options.
http://adobe.ly/LGI0Xf

We have a major issue with the way this works... we have no internet on our workstations, and want to deploy... it appears there is NO WAY to do an offline activation using the AAMEE program!!! This is a major oversight for people who work on contained networks, with zero internet on any workstations where the deployment can be made.
Please let me know of a way round this, it is quite urgent!
Thanks

Download Firefox Installer for Windows xp for disconnected networks

Hello. I want to obtain a complete install package (exe, etc) of Firefox 18 or 19 as my preferred browser on non-internet facing nodes. I have read that installers are calling out for updates upon completion and the nodes in questions cannot connect to the internet. I am looking for a complete/full install of FF 18 or 19 as mentioned above. I am not a local admin on the Internet facing pc that is being used to pull down the binaries. Thanks for any feedback.

WOW! Thanks for the very prompt reply. It appears to be a full install as you had mentioned. I do receive an error stating "the proxy server is refusing connections" as expected but the browser appears to be complete with its install.
I will need to apply "DISA lockdowns" for the Firefox settings to be accepted by computer security. I am required to follow guidelines, automate the settings, have it apply to all users, and generate a report of these types of lockdowns.
If you have further information or pointers to that type of information it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks again for the very quick repsonse. You saved me valuable time.

Modifying Safari's internal default bookmarks for enterprise deployment

I build deployment images for use in a large research facility. The default bookmarks that you get when you launch Safari for the first time are, shall we say, not especially relevant to what users here need. I've built my own set which is a LOT more useful, with some of our important in-house sites as well as outside sites useful for our research.
What I need is a decent way to get them to users. I've been hacking the OS X default user template to write them in each new account when it gets created, but I really don't enjoy hacking around in there. I just figured out how to go inside Safari's application bundle and replace the internal bookmarks file with my own, which seems like a better way (less messy, my bookmarks will return if users trash their preferences, etc.) But, is this safe? Will Software Update blow away my bookmarks? Is this allowed by the license?

But, is this safe?
No reason why it wouldn't be safe; other organizations do it for their own systems.
Will Software Update blow away my bookmarks?
No. It doesn't blow away any other bookmarks, and they're kept in a separate file anyway.
Is this allowed by the license?
Of course, as long as you have purchased the necessary number of licenses for the machines you have. If not, then you're in violation of federal law.

Enterprise deployment of Flash Builder 4, how?

What sources or tools are available to aid in enterprise deployment of Flash Builder 4? I need to create a 100% silent, 100% no touch installation and uninstallation. I'd rather not capture it into a MSI. I'm finding nothing on how to automate the installer at all.
I'd like some customization along with just how to do the actual install. For example, being able to NOT install Adobe AIR, Flash Plugin/ActiveX and the accompanying Microsoft VC items or selectively installing them. In our environment, EVERYTHING is layered - no application installs other vendor installs. This simplifies managing and updating them. When a user requests a application, all pre-reqs are installed and the actual app only installs if they all completed.
Thanks,
digital

For the path to your own copy of eclipse, if the link file isn't created automatically in silent mode, you could fix that quickly afterwards by copying the link file (either manually or with a script) from the bundled eclipse dropins folder into your own copy of eclipse.
Regarding silent deployment of volume SNs for FB4 Plug-in, we've been working up some documentation for that. Here's the approach, if anyone needs it.
Phase 1: Package the RIBS subinstaller (STIWrapper) for network deployment
first, install FB4 Plug-in normally (interactively) once locally, to obtain the embedded subinstaller here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in\install.support\AdobeFlashBuilderPluginSTIWrapperWin
that STIWrapper normally gets run automatically and silently by InstallAnywhere. Because it’s in CS Installer format, an enterprise deployment engineer can use Adobe’s regular CS5 Enterprise Deployment tools to configure it for embedding a volume SN.
when configuring the STIWrapper for Enterprise Deployment, the install path needs to go all the way down to the bundled Eclipse folder. For example that will be here by default: <Property name="INSTALLDIR">C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in\eclipse</Property>
docs and downloads for Adobe's Enterprise Deployment tools are available here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html
Phase 2: Deploying FB4 Plug-in to End Users
Before deploying, it’s important that any previously installed versions of FB4 Plug-in and its STIWrapper have been uninstalled. Generally, the Plug-in uninstaller will uninstall the STIWrapper automatically, but for more robust deployments, the enterprise engineer may want to automate a prerequisite step of uninstalling both FB4 and its STIWrapper.
Next, the silent installers need to be deployed in this order:
install the STIWrapper first, using the CS5 Deployment Toolkit
run the regular InstallAnywhere FB4 Plug-in installer silently.
To run the Plug-in installer silently, you can either use the "FB4_Plugin_Win_Installer.exe -i silent" syntax in your deployment scripts, or else place a new file named installer.properties right next to FB4_Plugin_Win_Installer.exe, in the same VM folder, and include this line in that file:
INSTALLER_UI=silent
Important: in step 2 above you need to run the extracted FB4 Plug-in installer, using the same folder tree format found on the DVD, not the self-extracting ESD archive named FlashBuilder_4_Plugin_LS1.exe.
Alternatively, if you only have the ESD exe named FlashBuilder_4_Plugin_LS1.exe, and don’t have the FB 4.0.1 DVD available, you can obtain the same folder tree by running the plug-in installer interactively on a local machine. Cancel the installation right after it finishes with the part that says “...downloaded files are being extracted.” Locate the full plugin installer tree from your Temp folder, normally here: [yourHomeFolder]\AppData\Local\Temp\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plugin\
Post this extracted folder (from the DVD or from the Temp folder) to a convenient share on your network and then use it for Step 2 above.
Note that this will only work fully on Win, because InstallAnywhere doesn’t support silent deployments on OS X. You could still use Step 1 on OS X to deploy a Volume SN the same way, but Step 2 would involve running the Plug-in installer interactively on OS X.
If you try out this approach, please let us know how it goes.
Thanks,

Acrobat 9.1 Group Policy Enterprise Deployment

Hey there,
I'm wondering how to properly create an msi based on the new security update for enterprise deployment via gpo.
i found an acrobat 8 doc that specified: msiexec /a "\\network computer\Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional\AcroPro.msi" /p "\\network computer\Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional\security update\AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp"
but this simply updated and extracted all files...
i'm not overly familiar with packaging acrobat so any help would be great.
even better would be an acrobat 9.1 full msi :)
thanks

One thing to note: Make sure you apply ALL .msp patches to the admin in the correct order!
i.e. You can't just jump to the 9.1.2 patch as they are all INCREMENTAL and have a weird schedule! Sucks, but somehow it makes sense to Adobe. The scheduling and it's explanation can be found here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/498/cpsid_49880.html
So, the methodology is:
Make an admin install using the /a switch from msiexec
Expand the patch file from the source to the network share in the correct order, one by one using the /p switch of msiexec, 9.1.0 first then 9.1.2
Create your .mst file via the Customization Wizard
Create your GPO referencing the gpo_ad doc here ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/gpo_ad_9.pdf )
Enjoy!

How to do silent installation for Adobe CS1 .

how to do silent installation for Adobe CS1

What do you mean by "check" the silent switches? Do you mean you want the documentation for enterprise deployment?
(Worth mentioning just in case: you will need a deployment license from Adobe).

How to deploy a custom install of Firefox 12 using SCCM or MDT for Enterprise Clients

I'm trying to perform a custom install of Firefox 12 for our enterprise desktops and laptops to be deployed from Microsoft Deployment Tools (MDT) or Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM).
I've tried creating a custom app with the regular '''''Firefox Setup 12.0.exe" -ms''''' command, but when the users start the program it asks if they want this to be the default browser, whether they want to import favorites or shortcuts from other browsers, etc...
I followed the instructions on several websites to create a custom mozilla.cfg file, local-settings.js, override.ini, and a batch file to call everything, but all have failed.
I have a large business enterprise and would prefer to deploy the latest version of Firefox, but you guys sure don't make it easy.

I am having this problem also. The first time I start Firefox, I get the error "Failed to read the configuration file".
I created the following files:
Mozilla.cfg
Pref("browser.startup.homepage","http://xxxxxf");
lockPref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);
lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
lockPref("browser.rights.3.shown", false);
lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", 2);
lockPref("toolkit.telemetry.rejected", true);
override.ini
[XRE]
EnableProfileMigrator=false
local-settings.js
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
My batch file looks like this:
"%~dp0firefox_setup_12.0.exe" -ms
REM Install 32-bit customisations
if exist "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0override.ini" "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\"
if exist "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0mozilla.cfg" "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\"
if exist "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0local-settings.js" "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\"
The files were copied to the correct folders and I noticed that I got the settings from local-settings.js in my profile.
Not sure where I have gone wrong.
Thanks.

How do I create global settings for Firefox 6.0.2. deployment?

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help. I'm getting very frustrated that Firefox 6.0.2 is not enterprise deployment friendly. Basically, I want to create a 6.0.2. software package that allows me to do the following:
1. set the home page for current and existing users
2. disable ALL updates
3. disable the "you're almost there page"
4. disable automatic updates
5. disable "check for updates" when clicking on the Firefox help "about" menu
I read all of the online documentation to create a prefs.js file and place it in c:\program files\mozilla firefox\default\. The settings don't get carried over for existing or new users. Each individual user profile can't be modified as this version is going out to 1100 workstations. Firefox 6.0.2. automatically upgrades to version 8 which isn't ideal due to some in-house plugins not being compatible.
I've tried other things such as channel-prefs.js, local-settings.js, lock prefs, mozilla.cfg, user-pref.js, user-chrome.css.... Absolutely nothing.... Very frustrated. Can anyone shed some light as to what I may be doing wrong?
The next thing was to create an alloborate script that copies the prefs.js file and find every single Firefox user profile on a machine and overwrite it. This is not ideal.
Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated.

I have downloaded the suggested add-on (gmarks-1.0.3.3-fx.xpi) but could not open and install it. Then I tried to install it by dragging and dropping it to the FF window. It installed and I restarted FF as instructed but it did not work.
Incidentally, I found the problem solved earlier, one week ago by thalgas on a similar problem ( unable to sign in from google toolbar) posted by giantjudge. The solution worked for me. His solution is as follows:
'"Google changed the login from
www.google.com/accounts
to
accounts.google.com
Solution: Open up toolbar.js with a decent editor (''search for the file toolbar.js, right click it and open it with notepad'')
Find: www.google.com/accounts"
and replace ALL with: accounts.google.com
Restart FF 6.
Login through the toolbar. Enjoy. '''
cflammen has this for anyone who is looking for the file.
For anyone looking for toolbar.js location, it will be in: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<xyz>.default\extensions\<{xyz}>\lib

Enterprise Deployment for Hosted Devlopment and Production

We are moving from a 11G dev environment to 11g production. We chose Installation scenario#3: Enterprise Deployment for Hosted Development and Production so we could scale out the load to multiple servers. I am at the point now where I need to load my repostory and webcat(dashboard files) and I want to make sure I understand what needs to be done.
Do I load my Repository and Webcat directory on the first node and it deploys it automatically to the 2nd node or are there other steps to do this.
Thanks!

Hi,
I thought about that possibility, but since in the Apple website I read that
"Deploy proprietary, in-house applications to authorized users in your company, the iPhone Developer Enterprise Program is available to companies with 500 or more employees and a Dun & Bradstreet number."
Since I'm freelancer,I don't have 500 employees, neither the Dun & Bradstreet number.
Can I subscribe to the program in the same way?
Also, if I subscribe the Enterprise program, I can also develop and publish "normal" apps for the iTunes, or do I need to have another subscription?
Best regards and thanks for the fast answers

Firefox won't install for all users in Windows 8.1; only installs for administrator

Since moving to Windows 8.1, I have been unable to install Firefox for multiple users on this laptop. Firefox installs only for the Administrator (me), and does not appear on any other user account. When I try installing from one of the other user accounts (after entering my administrator password), it simply won't install.

Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

I downloaded Firefox Optimized for Yahoo on my PC and get an error message about every 15 seconds: Java Script/ Uninstall set. I deleted Firefox and did a new download/installation and am getting the same problem.

:I went to Mozilla's website and downloaded the Firefox Optimized for Yahoo, following the directions. The download installed easily, but when it opened my Yahoo web page (I already had an account with them), the Java Script error message "Uninstall set!" immediately began alerts, and kept repeating the alert about every 15 seconds. I got the same result even after uninstalling Firefox and downloading a fresh installation. I am only getting this alert via Firefox; I do not get it when using my Yahoo page with Google. Thanks.

Looking for what software required for Enterprise Manager Installation

Hi All,
I am fairly new in working with Enterprise Manager, Previously used 11g Database Control, but never install Enterprise Manager (OEM). Now due to the increase in databases, I am considering to install OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager) to list all database (from over 20 Linux severs) to one location.
I have read documentation and still confused on what should be installed for OEM. I am planning to use OEM 12c Release (12.1.0.4), my current databases are 11gR2 (11.2.0.4 ).
Could you tell what I need from below list?
OEM (12.1.0.4)
Web Logic server (Do I need that separately, or will this be installed with OEM?)
OEM Agent on all other 20 servers (do I need to install separate software on them? Please guide)
Any specific version of Java.
Please guide me if I need any other software or plugin.
I have already installed oracle software and have created a database by using “Custom” option in DBCA. My server OS is Linux 64 Bit for Enterprise Manager.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
You would need 12c OEM cloud control software , Database software(For creating repository) and agent software (For monitoring targets on other hosts)
Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.6.0.43.0 and Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.6) are installed by default with the 12c OMS installation although you do have a option of installing it separately if you want but Oracle strongly recommends using the 12c installation process to install the JDK and Oracle WebLogic Server for use with Enterprise Manager 12c.
Below is the link for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Architecture
