Flash internal update server

I've recently setup a Flash Player internal update server but there is an issue updating my test machines. The scheduled task runs for a second and stops. My test machines are running 11.2.202.235 but I have also tried an early 11.3. The contents of the mms.cfg file in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash is:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=server.domain.local
The files in the internal repository are up to date. In Internet Explorer I can access version.xml (which is in the correct location) on both http and https. We are using a self signed certificate.
This is the contents of FlashInstall.log:

There must be some useful information in that log file!

Now the version.xml file is pointing to the below but the latest release is 11.8.800.94
<version>
<ActiveX major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="224"/> 
<Plugin major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="224"/>
<MacPlugin major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="225"/>
<SAUConfig checkFrequency="1"/>
</version>
Why adobe is not keeping up-to-date with the latest version ?? Is there any other server or method to get the latest version ??

  • Flash internal update server, latest version not available

    Following the 'Background updates from an internal server' section of the Flash 11.3 Deployment Guide, I have setup an internal Flash update server which sucessfully updates previous versions of 11.2 to 11.2.202.235 but refuses to take the brave step to 11.3. The guide tells me to copy files from these locations -
    https://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml
    http://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_al l_win_ax_sgn.z
    http://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_al l_win_pl_sgn.z
    http://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_al l_win_64_ax_sgn.z
    http://fpdownload2.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_al l_win_64_pl_sgn.z
    After looking at the version.xml file it seems that version of the ActiveX Flash is 11.2.202.235 whereas if I download the normal way I get the latest 11.3.300.257 which kind of makes the whole internal server auto update thing a little pointless! Feel free to correct me if I have gone wrong somewhere up there but I have a feeling Adobe is being a little slack!
    Cheers

  • Internal update server and flash player 12

    We've been using an internal update server and a deployed mms.cfg to point internal client machines to a local webserver hosting Flash Player updates extracted from the background update .cab file, as detailed in the Administration Guide.
    This has been working well for Windows & OS X clients.
    For Flash Player 12, I've created a "12" folder at the same level as the 11 folder:
    https://servername.domain/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/12/xml/version.xml
    However, clients (that are currently running 11) are looking for:
    https://servername.domain/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml
    So I copied the "12" folder to the "11" folder and manually triggered the scheduled task on a couple of clients and they've grabbed the newer version (except for the plugin-based browser, which haven't updated and are still using 11.9.*).
    My flashinstall.log shows the following:

    My questions:
    1) Is this the expected method for getting version 11 to upgrade to 12 without much intervention?
    2) What's triggering the error codes - the hack-ish way I've forced the update, or something else?
    3) What knock-on effects will the Flash Player version renumbering have on the local webserver deployment method?  And is it documented anywhere?
    Thanks

    Hi Maria,
    The rest of the install log is below and it does install the plugin later and the log is clean of errors thereafter. 
    I created "12" because the previous install guide noted that the folder should be named for the major version and I assumed that guidance still held (though thinking about it you've abandoned that distinction with the recent re-numbering).
    Thanks

  • New Internal Update Server Not Working

    I just set up an internal update server for Flash on a Windows server running IIS7 following the instructions in the admin guide. 
    I had a Windows 7 64-bit client already running the latest version of Flash, so I uninstalled it and installed flash 11.7 last night. I also manually copied the mms.cfg file with auto update enabled and pointing to the server at server.domain.com.
    There are the settinngs in the mms.cfg
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=servernameofserverhostingadobeupdates.ourdomainname.com
    I can open the path to the xml file through the browser from the client I want to update, so I know it does have web connectivity to the server.
    The mms.cfg file seems to be working because the Flash settings in control panel has the allow Adobe to check for updates button selected and grayed out.
    I waited overnight and nothing is happening.  No updates.  It is still on 11.7.
    How long is this supposed to take?
    How can I troubleshoot this to see what's going on with it?.  I see no errors anywhere, just nothing is happening.  I can't find logs that indicate that it is even "trying" to update from this server.  Where should this be?
    Can I prompt it to immediately check for updates from our internal server and control how often it checks?  When I click te check updates button, it still opens a browser and sends me to the Adobe web site.

    I notice there are often no replies to questions about problems with the internal update server.
    Is there anyone here who has recently gotten this to work?
    Are there common issues with the setup of an internal updates server that cause it to fail?
    Is there some other place to get support for this other than this forum?

  • Internal Update Server Error Code help

    Error code in FlashInstall.log 
    [warning] 1407 12044 vs [warning] 1403 12030
    I am trying to figure out why my internal update server wont connect past the certificate handshake. I can get it to work with a self signed certificate from the machine name but am trying to build a solution for my whole organization using our Root CA with a custom name for the particuler site.
    Any information would be helpful or suggestion for an alternative to using the internal update server since it is near impossible to troubleshoot when i have no idea what these warning codes mean.
    Thanks,
    Xenon

    Now i am getting these in my log but no update is being applied.

  • Directing to internal update server via overrides file

    Hi all,
    I have my internal update server up and running, and am now working on creating an AAMEE built .pkg installer for my organization. One of my goals is to use an internal update server, as defined by an override file indicated during the AAMEE build.  I've read over the AAMEE Guide V3.0 pg 121-122 a few times, but I'm still having trouble translating the example code to my world.
    I'm having trouble translating 2 things:
    1) in the example, it's --root="/serverroot/updates/Adobe/CS"  This does not mirror the serverroot of my AUSST folder hierarchy. I have /serverroot/updates/oobe .  Should this concern me?
    2) similar issue with --url="http://serverabc.example.com:1234/Adobe/CS".  In my serverroot, there are 2 folders: updates and webfeed.
    What's the bottom line goal of the overrides file- to point at the /documentroot/oobe/aam[1|2]0/[mac|win]/updaterfeed.xml file?  Did I totally just make that up?

    Hi Syuroff,
         In this case, you should use the root as /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe and the url you need to specify should point to this location. For example if http://serverx:8080 points to /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates then you need to specify the url as http://serverx:8080/updates/oobe. If you allow directory browsing, then you can verify that the URL http://serverx:8080/updates/oobe points to /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe. Once you ensure this, you have to run
    AdobeUpdateServerSetupToolCS5 --root="/Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe"
    and select appropriate option to sync with Adobe Update Server. Once this step is completed, you will see two folders namely updates and webfeed created under /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe location. Now you can run another command to generate the client config file:
    AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0  --genclientconf="/Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe/config"
                                                           --root="/Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe"
                                                           --url="http://serverx:8080/updates/oobe"
    As mentioned in my earlier post, this command will create a folder named config under /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe/config
    location. This folder will contain all the override files for both Mac and Windows.
    Let me know if this answers your query.
    Thanks,

  • Implement an internal update server.

    How can i implement an internal update server to make incremental deployments with a customized version of Firefox.

    Hi core-el,
    First of all, Thank you very much for your replies.
    Now i just want to make sure about the following:
    I do a customization preference on Firefox 10.0.12 and packaging it to msi file (i do it by adding some files firefox.cfg etc...) and when installed it on any PC the Firefox installed successfully with all new preference, then i set "app.update.url" preference to my local installed Apache server (http://localhost/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%LOCALE%/update.xml ).
    update.xml file contains the update to version 12.
    then chose "check for updates" from "Help" menu and i get the updated version of firefox with all customized preference.
    this mean that Upgrading Firefox will replace its files, but it will not remove the manually added files.
    So that there is no needs to customized the MAR file.
    i tried this and its work fine for me. please confirm that , thank you very much again, waiting your response :)

  • Flash Background Update Server Specs

    This may be the wrong forum, so I apologize if that is the case.
    I have been working to setup an internal background update server for Flash.  My dev testing is working great so it's time to move large scale...
    But, in order to get a server ordered, I need to provide some specs and I can't seem to find anything helpful for determining what kind of server I should look for.  My environment has over 57,000 PC's and Mac's that will be calling in for updates.  Any suggestions on where to find this are appreciated.

    Now the version.xml file is pointing to the below but the latest release is 11.8.800.94
    <version>
    <ActiveX major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="224"/> 
    <Plugin major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="224"/>
    <MacPlugin major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="225"/>
    <SAUConfig checkFrequency="1"/>
    </version>
    Why adobe is not keeping up-to-date with the latest version ?? Is there any other server or method to get the latest version ??
    Reference:

  • Problem with internal update server

    Hello everybody,
    after setting up an Adobe Update Server that works fine with updates for CS6,I would like to use this update server for additional Adobe software like Flash Player and Reader.
    I think I made every steps as mentioned in the administration guide of flash player: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplayer/pdfs/flas h_player_11_6_admin_guide.pdf
    Which means:
    I can access the URL: "http://SERVERNAME/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/" with its 3 *.z files (install_all_mac_pl_sgn.z,install_all_win_ax_sgn.z,install_all_win_pl_sgn.z) and "http://SERVERNAME/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/"  that contains the version.xml-file.
    I've also added the mms.cfg file with UTF-8 and the content:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=SERVERNAME
    SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
    Unfortunately there aren't any updates for my test-client.I read something that with these options the "Update Section" in the "Advanced"-tab should be greyed out, but it isn't.And if I'm going to click "Check now" my browser is opening the Adobe homepage.
    The problem is that we can't use any WSUS  for this scenario.So we have to deploy the mms.cfg-file by copying it to the clients manually (maybe via batch-file later).
    That's the first problem.
    The second one is that we would like to update the Adobe Reader via the same update server.But I didn't find any guide on how to solve this.
    Following information regarding our scenario:
    AUSST is running on a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2 with IIS6
    Created a new website "Adobe Update Server" and added the handlers for xml,sig,crl,dmg (I had to remove the handler for zip after having problems with it) and added these handlers in the <httpheader>-Section of the webconfig.
    Created a new folder with the structure: pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/ install and xml.
    Installed Flash Player 11.3 on my test-client
    Allowed extensions: All unknown ISAPI-extensions,Active Server Pages,ASP.NET v1.1.4322,ASP.NET v2.0.50727,Front Page Server Extensions 2002,Serversided includes (SSI),WebDAV
    I know that I maybe allowed too much extensions because my knowledge with Server 2003 isn't that well.
    Sorry for my bad english,I've also tried to open a discussion in the german section but there wasn't any reply yet.
    It would be great if there is anybody who could help me with my problems because this features are some kind of "must-have" and I would like to take this big step.
    I appreciate every help and post in this discussion as I'm kinda stuck with these problems.
    kind regards

    Because the update is not working it would be very helpful to get a list of all those status codes inside the FlashInstall.log
    Are there any suggestions what to do?
    Thank you for your help.

    I had this after that, would this have fixed it? If not Is it a big concern? How often does FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe need to be updated? What could have caused this?
    Thank you again for replying. Is there anyway to get a list of error code's explained so i can troubleshoot independently.
    Thanks

  • Apple update server in South Africa

    To my understanding, Software Update contacts the international server, and then redirects the connection to a nearer update server (in South Africa) when downloading. If the international update server index file is at "swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/index-1.sucatalog", does anyone perhaps know the South African address? (or Where could I find it? or Who should I ask?)
    We have very limited bandwidth in South Africa, and my blended (international and local) internet cap runs dry very quickly. I then have access to local cap that I would like to use to update OSX.

    I just checked the list of countries at the bottom of the iTunes store home page and South Africa is listed. It is only an App Store (no music and videos).
    Be sure you have the latest iTunes (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/) and try again.

  • How does internal Flash update server get updated?

    I just set up the directories described in the admin guide into a server running IIS7 and copied the Z files into the structure following these instructions:
    7. Copy the installer files (.z files) to the fp-major-version/install directory created in Step 2.
    When finished, you see something similar to the following:
    https://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml
    http://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_all_win_ax_sg n.z
    http://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_all_win_pl_sg n.z
    http://your.server.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_all_mac_pl_sg n.z
    Configure clients
    • Create an mms.cfg file with the following entries (replacing your.server.com with the name of your server):
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=your.server.com
    • Deploy Flash Player 11.3 or higher.
    • Deploy the mms.cfg to all clients for which you want the Background Updater redirected to your internal server.
    I'm guessing that the clientsthat are configured with the mms.cfg that points to our server downloads those .z files and the Flash updates are contained in those files.
    That seens OK, but it isn't clear to me how the update server itself gets the next set of installer update files.
    Do I have to wait until I hear there is another Flash update available and then go manually download and extract another cab into those directories each time?
    Is there any way to set the update server to automatically download the newest cab  as soon as they are available and copy the z files from the cab into the correct directories?
    Since 11.9 is the current version, I am also guessing there will be a Flash version 12 soon and a new "12" directory will have to be created for those updates.

  • Using internal software update server (SUS) with iTunes

    We are using an internal software update server (SUS) to manage the release of patches, etc. to our mac clients. There are no known issues with this server or the process. However, it appears that iTunes is still checking Apple's website first for updates, and by-passing our internal server. So we have Mac clients indicating an update to iTunes is available, but when software update is launched, no iTunes updates are available from our internal server, since we have not released them internally yet.
    Is there a setting in iTunes that we can change so that iTunes checks our internal SUS site first?

    You need to look at this from the server side, not
    the client side.
    Open Server Admin, connect to your server and look at
    the list of updates that Software Update has
    available. Specifically check if there are any blue
    warning icons alongside any update. These are updates
    that the server has not yet downloaded from Apple,
    and therefore are not available to clients.
    I've seen this happen periodically on my SUS. The fix
    is annoying, but simple just stop and restart the
    SUS. It should download the pending updates and make
    them available to clients.
    Thanks for the reply. Actually there were blue exclamation points next to newer updates, yet I just waited and the server finished downloading and mirroring them and then they went away. The screenshots above were taken when there were no exclamation points in the software list and when all the updates were available in the list.

  • Can't connect to internal Software Update Server

    Greetings All,
    I just upgraded my XServer from Tiger to Leopard. Before the upgrade, I was using the server as a Software Update Server pushing all updates to Tiger clients. Now after upgrading to Leopard and installing the Software Update Service, it seems that my Leopard (haven't tried Tiger) clients are not able to connect to it internally - they go straight to Apple. I started the service and configured the client with:
    defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://10.0.1.249:8088/
    But it seems to not work. Other question is, will Tiger clients be able to connect to the Leopard server for OS updates? Thanks in advance,
    -andy-

    I've got two 10.5.4 servers (one upgraded throughout the 10.5 life-cycle and one freshly installed at 10.5.1 and combo-updated) and I've never (!!) been able to get them to connect to my Software Update Server (SUS). 10.4 clients can connect and indicate the domain in the SoftwareUpdate title bar. I can copy and paste the same command I make 10.4 clients connect into each 10.5 box I have and none of them will resolve. They all default back to Apple's servers.
    When I run "defaults read com.apple.SoftwareUpdate" I get the proper domain listed and it looks just like 10.4 client's responses. No 10.5 clients or servers will attach to my SUS. Why do 10.4 clients and servers? I even recently upgrade the SUS from 10.4.11 to 10.5.4 and Tiger clients still work, 10.5's do not.
