Deploying Flash Player via GPO - need to have log files generated

I'm looking at deploying the Flash player to 3000 machines across my company via GPO (SCCM is comming in but not for another year). This would be fairly simple if it was just a standard deployment, but I need to ensure that I have close to total coverage, and the only way I can see of doing this is to use th /log switch in the launch parameters. I wish to deploy this via a GPO deployed software and not a script for future upgradability options and as such I'd like to know if anyone knows what parameters I'd need to change on ORCA/similar to make this work?
Thanks in advance
Dave

Deploying Flash Player via GPO sometimes results in uninstallation

We started deploying the Flash Player MSI via Group Policy several months ago, but something we've found is that on some computers, instead of getting updated, Flash Player gets uninstalled entirely and we have to manually reinstall it. Does anyone know what causes this and how to correct it?

Hello,
We'll need a few log files to investigate this further. Please provide the following log files:
FlashInstall.log file from one or more impacted systems. If the machine is 64-bit, there will be two files.
32-bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
64-bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash AND C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
msiexec install log fileYou'll need to provide the 'log' argument when running msiexec to create the log file.
Since the files will be large, please share them using the How to share a document instructions.
Thank you in advance.

Difficulties installing flash player via GPO

Hello, I'm attempting to try and deploy flash player via GPO to computers on our domain, and in testing, I am unable to get the MSI's to install after doing a gpupdate and letting the PC restart as it requests.
I've followed the instructions Adobe has listed for deploying to AD via GPO to the letter, I have the shares on a publicly accessible location, the software assigned in the GPO, and the GPO linked to my testing container with the testing PCs. All the PCs are fully patched, just nothing happens after a reboot. I can publish the MSI's just fine to where I can see them available to install via GPO, but I want to assign them instead. Does anyone have some insights into what could be going wrong?

I'm still not having any luck with this, does anyone have any advice at all?

Deploying flash 8 via GPO

I am trying to get flash installed to my client workstations
via GPO and it is not working. I assigned
install_flash_player_active_x.msi to the computer policy in GPMC
for a test OU and when the the computer reboots I see it attempting
to install Flash 8 for about 3 seconds and then it is done. I then
log in and test to see if it was installed and confirm that it was
not. What am I missing?

I got it to work. It was something on the computer that I was
testing it on. When I tried it on other computers it worked like a
charm. I did check the event viewer and it showed that it was
installed but it really wasn't installing. Hmm.

Installing Flash Player via GPO

Hi there,
We have the flashplayer 10 msi file and created a group
policy using active directory to role out the update to internal
users. Tested on a user machine and although we can see the
flashplayer plug in installed the Adobe still reports that the
machine needs flashplayer 10. Please could you advise how we need
to configure the policy to install the msi file across our network.
Thanks
James

Hi, I need to install Adobe Flash Player because the version I have installed in my Mac Os is old, but I can´t because I need to write my email and my password and I don´t remember my password, so what can I do?

The email and password will be the ones for your computer's security, not something for any Adobe product. You might need to consult Mac customer support if you are unable to determine the required information.

Trying to find the URL used when installing Flash player via ActiveX pop-up

I'm trying to determine what URL would be used when a customer clicks on the Activex Pop-up to install Flash player.
I've found a document that indicates the URL used when updating Flash Player via the Auto updater, but I think they are different URLs.... Can anyone help?

thanks guys for the replies.
Just to clarify, I am in no way having troubles installing Flash player. I'm a tech specialist, and have been for many years. I am fully able and aware of how to update Flash player.
What I am trying to get is the URL that would be used when a client click on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" ActiveX Pop-up.
thanks for the URLs you sent, and I do have those, I'm just wondering if any can confirm "as for sure as possible" what URL is used with that ActiveX Pop up.
Our corporate has several web-based products that do NOT work with th emost recent version of Flash Player.
We are trying to find all possible Flash Player installer URLS that are used, so we can block them on our Proxy server.
Thanks again for everyone's reply, and if anyone knows for sure the info I need, please let me know

What is flash player and why do i have to download it ?

My computer won't show any videos on safari because it says I need to update flash player. What is flash player and why do i have to download it? I thought flash player comes with your computer.

1. A browser plugin for Flash content.
2. Apple no longer bundles it with Mac OS X.

Deploying Printer Server via GPO (Windows Server 2008 R2)

Hi guys,
I having encountered problem while deploying printer server via GPO. My operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2. See the details below:
"one or multiple errors have occurred during the execution of a deply or remove printer connection problem"
Anybody know's how to fixs this problem ASAP.
Any suggestion or clarification would be great!
Please advice me, thanks
Regards,
Bishelp

Hi Bishelp,
Firstly, please check the security tab of that printer, make sure your user account has access permission for it.
To perform these procedures of deploy printer connections, you must be a member of the local Administrators group and have write access to Group Policy objects (GPOs) in the AD DS domain or the organizational unit (OU) to which you want to deploy printer
connections. For more information please refer to following MS articles:
Deploy Printer Connections
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731292.aspx
In addition, it would be helpful if you could help to collect the following information:
What is the detailed information about this error?
What are the steps of deploying printer server?

When are Adobe going to make it easier to deploy flash player to the enterprise????

I've been deploying flash player for well over 5 years now and in that time the deployment has only got very marginally better.
Why do they continue to allow installs just to fail when the control is in use??? I've written vbscripts to kill the handle to the ocx activex file, rename the ocx to .old which allows the installax.exe install utility to complete without errors. When Internet explorer next relaunches it uses the new control and the old one can be deleted. Why can't they incorporate this kind of logic into their installs?
Why do Adobe insist on using rubbish exe routines inside msi's that are perfectly capable of installing applications and don't just bomb out at the first sign of a difficulty? Using custom installer routines inside msi's makes it very difficult for people who have more than adequate repackaging and software deployment experience to be able to customise and get around the difficulties that Adobe forces upon us.
When are Adobe going to realise that the way they are releasing updates for flash player is costing companies a lot of money in company's helpdesk and systems team's time spent supporting and troubleshooting their buggy installs? At best I've only experienced a 95% success rate with flash player deployments. Some people might say "what am I complaining about?" and "that's to be expected". This has only been the case with weeks of work to fix the flaws in the flash player install routines. However 5% failure on 4000 machines is 200 possible help desk calls and 200 people not able to use various applications, view web content etc. Before we invested the time in scripting to get around the installer flaws the success rate was closer to 75%, that's 1000 out of 4000 that were failing. Does anyone think that's acceptable considering how widely it's used?
What has Adobe got planned for enabling large businesses to manage the deployment of flash player better? They've done it with other products why can't they do it with flash player?
For software deployment teams this is a constant and ever present headache.
Any Adobe representative want to comment???

It's ridiculous cause most website use Flash Player and none of them work on my LG 650v Smart TV.
Are discussions being held between Adobe and LG? If yes, are they close to a solution? If no, what seems to be the issue?

Any idea?
Thank you for your time.

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

I've just downloaded an update to my Flash player and it seems to have disabled all video function on my Macbook. Any advice?
