Deploying Adobe Reader 11.0.4 via SCCM 2012

Hello members,
I am looking to deploy the latest version of Reader to our workstations both during OS build and also on existing machines.
I have successfully created a custom install using the Adobe Customization Wizard I’m leaning towards the use of the .exe / bootstrapper
Double clicking the exe works just fine on my lab computers however getting this to work over a SCCM (2012) deployment is proving troublesome
As SCCM admins would know the SCCM client downloads the content to C:\windows\ccmcache\randomfoldername
SCCM then runs the command specified in the deployment you created, I appear to be having issues with the exe not knowing to look in the same directory for the MST MSP and setup.ini file,Being a randomly generating folder name this can’t be specified in the deployment unless I change the ‘Installation start in’ option
Sometimes the install is ignoring my custom install settings (disable updates and online features etc)
My setup.ini contains:
[Startup]
RequireMSI=3.0
CmdLine=/sall /rs
[Product]
msi=AcroRead.msi
PATCH=AdbeRdrUpd11004.msp
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="CompanyName.mst"
[MSI Updater]
Path=http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.0/misc/WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2 -x86.exe
Am I missing something simple ?

You have done all the things right. I don't see any issues in your deployment. You say that sometimes your custom transforms are getting applied to some of the machines but not always.
Which makes me believe that that the Reader 11.0.04 installers are working as expected. I guess, It's the deployment and the distribution of packages which is causing this intermittent issue.
WHat i understand is that, while applying the setup.exe, it's somehow ignoring to apply the custom mst by not reading the setup.ini file
My suggestions,
1. Cleanup your existing package and deployment related to Reader 11.0.04
2. Recreate package and deplyment related to Reader 11.0.04 using some other folder
3. If you are not cleaning up your existing package and deployments. Ensure you have the transform file and setup.ini file in the same folder as the package folder (where it contains setup.exe and other necessary files)
and then update distribution points
4. Make the source directory shared

Lync 2013 client deployment via SCCM 2012 forcing restart

All,
I am attempting to deploy the Lync 2013 x86 client via SCCM 2012 to 158 machines running the Office 2010 suite. My package runs, and the installs complete but they are forcing a restart after the install even though I have gone in to everything that I can
think of to tell the install not to force a restart. I am a newb in the ways of SCCM so I have been self teaching, and I may have missed something.
I have gone into the config.xml and changed the value SETUP_REBOOT to NEVER.
In the program properties I have RUN set as HIDDEN, and AFTER RUNNING set to NO ACTION REQUIRED.
Is there something that I am missing to stop the users machine from restarting after the install completes?

Great, unfortunately it will be because files (usually shared DLLs) are in use as Office is opened, despite it being an older version.
Agree it's not optimal, I usually just tell clients that they will need to reboot, or that it will push out overnight (when I schedule it) and their computer will restart, so make sure they save everything.

Deploying Adobe Reader & Flash Updates

I am currently looking for a way to deploy non-Microsoft based product updates across our organization. Some of the products I would like to be able to deploy updates for include: Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader and Adobe Shockwave.
Presently, between our main office and our various branch offices we have:
5 Servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
1 Server running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise
1 Server running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard
20-30 Workstations running Windows Xp Professional SP3
20-30 Workstations running Windows 7 Professional
Sadly, our organization does not current have a license for SCCM, so I most likely will be deploying updates via our GPOs or scripts.Also, our users do not have admin rights or anything, so lately I've been having to manually authorize each of their updates when the product (Adobe for example) checks for updates.
Does anyone have any suggestions or pointers?
Thanks.

Lync 2013 x64 silent client deployment via SCCM 2012 SP1

Greetings everyone!
I ran into a problem with Lync 2013 x64 silent deployment.
I need to provide every workstation with Lync 2013 client, so i decided to use deployment via SCCM 2012 sp1.
I created 2 msp files with OCT, one based on x86 Office 2013 Proplus, and other based on x64 Office 2013 Proplus.
Added them as applications to sccm software library.
Deployment of Lync 2013 x86 application was a success with over than 80% compliance.
But all Lync 2013 x64 automatic installations finish with different errors.
I created special device collection for workstations with office 2010 x64 and 2013 x64, because i can't install other architecture products once it has x64 product installed.
My membership query-rules for this collection:
Office 2013 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90150000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
Office 2010 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90140000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
My application deployment type points to setup.exe in office 2013 x64 installation folder, where i created msp file in updates folder via OCT and edited config.xml file in proplus.ww folder.
So my installation program looks like this setup.exe /adminfile updates\1lync.msp /config proplus.ww\config.xml
The same configuration works with Lync 2013 x86 deployment, except other setup folders.
When i try running installation program setup.exe with /adminfile and /config parameters locally, it installs successfully without errors or warnings.
I'm trying to find out problem source, does anyone have ideas what I am doing wrong?
Also i'm trying to reduce office 2013 installation folder size, what subfolders are necessary for Office 2013 proplus installation (still installing only lync with common files and tools)? Because now 3.5 GB package is quite hard to distribute to sccm secondary
sites with deployment point.
Thanks in advance.

Deploying Adobe Reader using Microsoft Deployment tool 2013?

I followed the instructions from:
http://www.sysadminlab.net/other/modify-the-installation-of-adobe-reader-for-mdt-sccm-or-o ther-deployment
and here:
http://mdtguy.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/how-to-deploy-adobe-reader-xi-msi-with-mdt-2012/
When I test my deployment it fails with MDT error 1624. Accroding to Microsoft:
ERROR_INSTALL_TRANSFORM_FAILURE 1624 Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
Which I have verfied.
Is there a .msi file that I can edit rather than have to create on using the Customization Wizrd XI?
I know this is off subject, but what do I edit in the flash player .msi file not to install mcafee?

You can download the Adobe Reader MSI installers from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/
The Flash Player MSI files (like the Adobe Reader MSI) do not contains any bundled 3rd-party software.

Trouble deploying Adobe Reader 11

I keep getting a failure with the following error when trying to deploy Adobe Reader 11. The program for advertisement "RHP2022B has failed because download of the content "RHP00069" - "install reader" has failed. The download
failed because the content downloaded to the client does not match the content specified in the content source. Possible causes: The content on the distribution point has been manually modified, or a local administrator on the computer has modified the content
in the computer's hash. Solution: Refresh the content on the distribution point and retry the download.
The program never starts and goes right to failure. I have refreshed the distribution point and have even removed and copied it back. in my package i have the files acroread.msi, acroread.mst, setup.ini, and data1.cab. Not sure if even
need the last two files. My command line for the program is msiexec.exe /i "AcroRead.msi" /q TRANSFORMS="acroread.mst" running as admin. Basically all the transform file does is turn off automatic updates and removes the previous
version of reader.

Have you tried creating new Package ?
this issue normally resolved by refreshing the package to the DP, Hash mismatch should be resolved by Refresh of the content.

Mass deploy adobe reader with cusomized settings

I would like to mass deploy Adobe reader to both Mac and PC computers with customized settings. Ideally, to have the program update in the background so the end user does not have to do anything. Is there a way to do this on both platforms?

There is no unified platform agnostic deployment technology from Adobe that handles both deployment and updates to Acrobat. You may want to look for third party deployment technology to do this for you.

Trying to deploy a VB Script via sccm 2012 R2

Hello All
This is my first attempt at deploying a script via SCCM 2012 R2 and I seem to be stuck. Essentially what this script does is map a printer. The script on its own works fine. Meaning it works when I double click it and also running it from the command
line. Its when I try to use in sccm things go down hill. I have tried the following from the command line in the package properties.
\\my-sccm-server\Sources\Applications\VBSripts\cscript.exe Impact.vbs
\\my-sccm-server\Sources\Applications\VBSripts\Impact.vbs
Phil Balderos

looks good :)
You can check execmgr.log on the client to monitor the install as it is running.
Thank Richk,
Still no luck. Here is the output from execmgr.log. Its saying that is completed but nothing ever happens. I am about ready to throw in the towel on this one but I just feel like that is should work because its such a simple script.
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\srv-gtt-papercut\followme"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\srv-gtt-papercut\followme"
Phil Balderos
Is the script running as an Admin ,if so then you likely set the printer up for the local system user account and not anyone else.

Deploy Lync 2013 Via SCCM 2012

Dear,
I wants to deploy Microsoft Lync 2013 via SCCM 2012, I have created a new deployment package based on MSI file to install Microsoft Lync 2013 for company machines, during the installation package will install for clients computer perfectly but instead of
install automatically to users, every time message coming user should do it manually for example user should accept the terms of the agreement, kindly I need a way to solve this issue, I need Lync 2013 automatically install without users doing anything, please
see attached snapshot.

Make sure that you are using the right command line using your newly created MSP
ex: setup.exe /adminfile "Lync_Updated.msp"
As proposed, update your DP so that your MSP gets distributed.
You can also follow this guide if you're still experiencing difficulties.

App-V 5.0 SP2 user applications published via SCCM 2012 to VDI workstations with roaming only

Hi,
The environment consists of App-V 5.0 SP2 (KB2956985) user based applications published via SCCM 2012 to Windows 7 VDI snapshotted workstations that are reset at user logoff.
When a user logs on the SCCM 2012 client initiates App-V client package publishing. After a couple of minutes after logon the shortcuts appear and the user can launch their applications.
The issue is that at logoff, even with roaming enabled, the publishing information disappears. This causes the next logon process for that user to repeat, the applications are not available until the SCCM client has completed it's publishing cycle.
Roaming profiles are implemented. %APPDATA% is redirected to a UNC path. The following registry key is set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\PreserveUserIntegrationsOnLogin=1
U-EV, global publishing of applications, and AppLocker rules are not an option. Also, I have read this already - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn659478.aspx#BKMK_PE
I do not want to wait for the SCCM client to kick in prior to the user applications being available. What do I need to roam or run to create a seamless transition for the user between sessions?
Eddie.

Hi Tywin (bad username considering the last GoT Episode ;))
If you ask Microsoft, they always recommend using SCCM for deploying App-V packages and reuse your current SCCM infrastructure if that is already in place. Problem is, as you now experience, is that there is some big caveats both in regards to publishing
time and to roaming of settings.
As Nické states I would suggest looking into the Full Infrastructure Model for App-V 5.x, which gives you much better performance in what I call "from no apps" to "being able to click the shortcut" - the add and publishing phase. If you don't have the time/budget/whatever
to start looking into that, you could look into some community tools like App-V Scheduler which is developed specific by Citrix guys to ease the publishing and management in a Citrix world.
Microsoft have a great article about Performance Guidelines, which you have read, but it mostly presumes you work with Full Infrastructure. Have you looked into Steve Thomas' session from TechEd NA? It talks about "implementation trends".

Shockwave 12.0.0.112 MSI errors when installing via SCCM 2012

I am experiencing the same type of issue i have entered a bug report for Flash Player.

I didn't have any installation issue on Windows XP 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit.
You didn't say anything about your OS, btw.
And that swhelper_1159620.exe is a legacy (it's not related to the previous v11.6 or the current v12 installations).
For future, to get rid of installation issues, use the UNinstaller first of all:
