Flash pushed via GPO, how to copy mms.cfg via logon script?

I feel foolish for having to ask such a question, but I can't get it figured out. I know very little about VBS scripting and need help pushing the mms.cfg file down to the clients via the logon script. Can someone please provide me the proper commands to enter into our existing vbs scripts? I sure would appreciate it!

I got it figured out...well, kinda. I gave up on trying to do it via the logon script and instead modified the GPO for the flash install to call a batch file in the startup script section.
This is the contents of the batch file that I created:
@echo off
if exist "C:\WINNT\System32\Macromed\Flash\" goto :NT2k
if exist "C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash\" goto :XPVista
if exist "C:\Windows\System\Macromed\Flash\" goto :Legacy
if exist "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\" goto :64bit
goto :END
:NT2k
if exist C:\WINNT\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg goto :END
xcopy \\SERVERNAME\NETLOGON\mms.cfg C:\WINNT\System32\Macromed\Flash\ /o /y
goto :END
:XPVista
if exist C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg goto :END
xcopy \\SERVERNAME\NETLOGON\mms.cfg C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash\ /o /y
goto :END
:Legacy
if exist C:\Windows\System\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg goto :END
xcopy \\SERVERNAME\NETLOGON\mms.cfg C:\Windows\System\Macromed\Flash\ /o /y
goto :END
:64bit
if exist C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mms.cfg goto :END
xcopy \\SERVERNAME\NETLOGON\mms.cfg C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ /o /y
goto :END
:END
I've tested it on both an XP box and Windows 7 64-bit box and it works perfectly! The one thing I am not sure of is what directory the cfg file needs to go in for a 32-bit install of Windows 7. We don't have any of those here yet, but that's something I'll have to remember once we do. I hope this helps those out there trying to push the mms.cfg file via GPO to disable that auto-update feature!

How to copy a context via wizard, if you do not know the tenical details?

Hi Guys,
I am going to copy a customized BSP application 'ZAUDIT' for practise.
There is no model in this BSP application.
This BSP application will be called in a service request via a popup window.
confirm_popup = me->comp_controller->window_manager->create_popup(
                    iv_interface_view_name = 'ZAUDIT/MainWindow'
                    iv_usage_name          = 'CUZAudit'
                    iv_title               = lv_title ).
lr_cn = confirm_popup->get_context_node( 'PARAMS' ).      "#EC NOTEXT
[https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8M4-ZnGHCrY/Tp-6RTS7UDI/AAAAAAAAAiA/24ElqzkqETA/s820/ContextNodes.jpg]
When I tried to create the Context Node 'PARAMS' for component controller, I have no idea what value I should put into the wizard.
How can I get enough information from the exist context node and copy it via a wizard?
For example:
Node type
Model attributes
value attributes
Thanks & Regards,
Jian

Dear asen,
Thank you for your reply.
I found a structure 'crmt_gsurlpopup_params' in the method.
The first component is 'URL' type string which looks like the right one.
But I can not use 'crmt_gsurlpopup_params' in the wizard, because it is not an elementary type.
I tried 'URL' 'PARAMS' 'String_data', it works.
PS, when I rated your post, I just tried 'crmt_gsurlpopup_params' not 'string_data'. So I didn't click 'Solved', sorry.
Thanks & Regards,
Jian

How to copy phone book via Bluetooth to a G35

I have paired my 3G with my car (Infinity G35 2008) and it works fine. But I am unable to download the phone book. I get a message in the car that says if needed enter the 1234 passkey, but that never happens on the phone. 30 minutes later still on the same screen.
Any clues?

Blame Apple about that. The Bluetooth in iPhone is crippled to headset only. Make me think that iPhone 3G is like previous Verizon phones with all Bluetooth feature capped. I suggest you to send a feedback to Apple about that particular problem.

How to change maintenance powershell script via GPO?

Per suggestion reposted from here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/6eece9d6-a524-48aa-8e64-7554f0ec9b31/how-to-change-maintenance-powershell-script-via-gpo?forum=winserverGP
Posted at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/desktop-shortcuts-to-items-on-network-drives/94eddb27-342b-40fc-9ad4-677ff4ee8ebe?page=9&tm=1403700614489 originally.
There is a very annoying "feature" in Windows 7 called BrokenShortcuts.ps1 which is being called out weekly via maintenance task and if it finds more than 4 "broken" network shortcuts it removes them all. So it means if a user at this
moment is disconnected from the network he will lose all links to shares, network applications sitting on his desktop. Funny that there was no such script on Vista and i don't see this on Win8. On the post i have attached one user suggested to edit this script
and change 4 to 500 or whatever high number. That's fine for one time fix. But i need to do this for 200+ users. This file cannot be simply replaced by a script, so i'm wondering is there any way to do it via GPO?
I have already tried various startup scripts, but i'm not sure which user to put into commands.
I need to run this on startup:
takeown /F C:\Windows\diagnostics\scheduled\Maintenance\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1
icacls c:\windows\diagnostics\scheduled\maintenance\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1 /grant "some user":F
copy \\share\folder$\TS_BrokenShortcuts.ps1 C:\Windows\diagnostics\scheduled\Maintenance\ /Y

You need to take time to study how Windows does these things. You can control them with GP which is what you asked. The article shows you how to disable elements of the tasks. Each task controls a script. If you disable the task the
script that deletes shortcuts will be stopped. Other maintenance tasks will continue to run.
Most of your problem is that you seem to want someone to provide a magical solution. In technology it is necessary to fully research your issues until you understand all aspects. After fully studying the issue you should understand the possible
solutions if they exist.
You claim to have deployed the patch that Microsoft released to fix the issue. You claim it didn't work. If that is the case then you need to call MS and \p[en a support incident. If Microsoft determines that you are right about the
patch not working you will not be charged for the call.
I know that learning how to support technology is hard and frustrating for newcomers. In time, by using these incidents to learn, you will become a seasoned technician and all of this will seem trivial. Until then we can only suggest that you
do things that most of us are familiar with. We cannot fix your network for you.
I think you haven't really posted in the GP forum but posted a question about GP in the server forum. Try posting in the GP forum.

Mms.cfg not working in Flash 9.0.115.0

We deploy Flash Player 9.0.115.0 with mms.cfg (utf-8) with
AutoUpdateDisable=1. Yet after installation if we check
the Global Notifications Settings Panel on
http://kb.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.html
the Notify me when an update to Adobe Flash Player is available is
enabled.
Does mms.cfg work with 9.0.115.0? Or should we use
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash

Thank you

Why do I continue to receive update notices while using a mms.cfg that disables auto update?

My Flash Player Settings panel looks like this:
Mms.cfg contains: (encoded w/ UTF-8)
AutoUpdateDisable=1
AutoUpdateInterval=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
Explain to me why users are now receiving prompts that there is a flash update available? Our users do not have local administrator and updates cannot be installed by the user.

The OS, Flash version(s), and file locations are as follows:
     Windows 7 x64
     Internet Explorer 9
          Flash Player 11.1.102.55 - 32-bit Active X
               C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
          Flash Player 11.1.102.55 - 64-bit Active X
               C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
So far I can recreate the scenario easily. Initially, after installing Flash (via SCCM) I don't have updates disabled. After I deploy the mms.cfg to a system, I restart. After the restart the user is prompted to install the latest Flash update. I saw this consistently on 26 machines yesterday.

Logon script for looping - searching - deleting - copy

I was trying to do multiple functions within a logon script. If nobody wants to write the script, can you please point me to the right resource to find how to code it. I am completely new to this and need help.
The logic is to have a list of files on the server which were recently updated(this list changes all the time), using these files you would loop and search for these same files on the end user's machine upon logging in. When it finds that same file
on the end user's machine you would delete the file from the end user's machine, then copy the new updated file from the server onto the end user's machine in the same location the previous one was deleted from. If file not found on end user's machine
then just copy new one without deleting anything in highest level directory. When done, you would loop again until you went thru every file that was updated on the server. The source directory will always be the same and the copy to directory on
end user's machine will always be the same, but end user's machines have subdirectories and the files that will be getting updated are in both. Any help in any fashion would be appreciated.
We are in the process of migrating from XP to Windows 7. While in XP, we only had to do a copy function in the logon script and it would copy over the old file and replace it. But Windows 7 doesn't delete the old file, it appends the new one
to the old one, making it hard for the software looking for these files to work properly when it sees two files instead of one current one. Hopefully this makes sense, I can elaborate more if anyone wants to help and needs more details. Thanks.

I would definitely not recommend copying files to end user machines from a logon script.
But you are right that this isn't a script-on-demand forum.
You can post a script request here:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/site/requests
I would point out that, as with this forum, there is no service-level agreement that guarantees that someone will have the time do this work for you. You will need to provide a very detailed specification; your post here is very vague.
However: It sounds to me like you don't have a scripting question but some kind of application architecture question.

Flash pushed via GPO, but is now removing itself!

All of a sudden we are having systems that Flash is removing itself and I can't figure out why! Everything has been working just fine. We push Flash down through Group Policy and it's been working without problems. But all of a sudden we are seeing systems where Flash is removing itself for no apparent reason.
Nothing has changed. No settings have changed. People that have gotten it successfully via GPO and have had it working just fine are all of a sudden having it removed and left with nothing installed. Does anyone have any idea as to why it would be doing this?
Here are the log files from one of the system in succession...maybe someone here can make heads or tails of it???
"Application Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Plugin from policy GPO Install Flash Player is an upgrade of application Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin from policy GPO Install Flash Player and will cause the assignment of application Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin to be removed."
"The removal of the assignment of application Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin from policy GPO Install Flash Player succeeded."
"The assignment of application Adobe Flash Player 10.1 ActiveX from policy GPO Install Flash Player succeeded."
"The assignment of application Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Plugin from policy GPO Install Flash Player succeeded."
"Product: Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin -- Error 2753.The File 'FP_PL_MSI_INSTALLER.exe' is not marked for installation."
"The install of application Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Plugin from policy GPO Install Flash Player failed. The error was : Fatal error during installation."
"The removal of the assignment of application Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Plugin from policy GPO Install Flash Player succeeded."
"Application Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Plugin from policy GPO Install Flash Player was configured to upgrade application Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin from policy GPO Install Flash Player. The assignment or install of the upgrade application Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Plugin from policy GPO Install Flash Player failed with error : Fatal error during installation. The upgrade will be aborted."
"The assignment of application Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin from policy GPO Install Flash Player succeeded."
These entries all happened pretty much at the same time. Now granted, I'm no GPO guru. I inherited this system and it was my predecessor that set this all up. But I've checked all the settings and everything seems fine and like I said, nothing has changed. As a matter of fact, I just setup a couple of new systems and it got pushed down to them just fine.
Help!!!

Hello again, It sounds like it is working so far, I hope it stays that way. I wonder if the Anti-Virus had an update that day that that happened. It was so sudden, something triggered that action, may not know what. It was strange since that didn't happen when you Installed, if it was going to happen.
Let's hope there are no more problems.

How To Copy and run files Via GPO

HI All,
Our Domain got 300 PC's and UltraVNC is installed. Now i need to enable the MS Logon and add Security Groups.
I have export the VNC Ini file from Working computer.
also export the ACL into txt file
Exporting an ACL
MSLogonACL /e file (vnc.txt)
I have test by coping the ini file and run the ACL . Found All OK
MSLogonACL /i /a file
(vnc.txt)
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\UltraVNC\MSLogonACL.exe" /i /o \\server\softwareshare\ultravncserver
\vnc.txt
So how do i do this via GPO?
AS

Hi,
I agree with Martin. We can run the script as a batch file. Before we deploy the script via group policy, we need to test it on a machine to see if it can run properly.
Besides, regarding how to utilize group policy to assign startup scripts, the following article can be referred to for more information.

GPO install of Flash 10. How do we get mms.cfg installed on clients

We installed Flash 10 using GPO to the computers. Now, flash is asking users to install the update and they don't have permission. I believe I need to get an mms.cfg to the clients to fix this (if there is a better way, please let me know). What is the best way to do this?

Perhaps the steps you saw to fix this issue were here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403969...
Regarding modifying the registry as suggested in solution 2 (you shouldn't be concerned with installing updates though) we would always recommend backing up the registry before making any changes. That way you can always restore to what you had before troubleshooting.

How to Disable Auto Updates on Flash Player 10 using mms.cfg

Hi Friends,
I am a newbee into this.I am trying to install a customized Adobe Flash Player 10.2.153.1 in which auto updates are disabled. I went through the Adobe guidelines and found that it is possible to do the same using a MMS.CFG file. Can anyone tell me how exactly this would look like. I will be extremely thankful if someone can attach a sample of the same.
One more question...
When we disable auto updates using mms.cfg file, will this be updated in the Global Settings Manager ?
Tries from my end till now:
I tried to create a mms.cfg by editing a txt file and adding "AutoUpdateDisable=0 " and then saving teh same as mms.cfg using UTF-8 encoding. this didnt make any difference in the Global Settings manager.
Please help me...
Regards,
Dilip

But it seems that you have done everything correctly; doesn't it work?

No, I don't think so; these settings are stored in a different place.
Some users have reported that AutoUpdateDisable via mms.cfg does no longer work in Flash Player 10.3. Please check if this failure already occurs in Flash Player 10.2.

Installing client via gpo vs client push?

hello all
When it comes to pushing the sccm 2012 client does anyone have any thoughts on the pros and cons of pushing via gpo? We are exploring this as an option. We used client push in the past but wanted to give group policy a try. Just as a side note the sccm 2012
client is already on all of our clients and servers from a previous failed site deployment. So this would be a new client (same version CM12) and a different site code.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I like to use Jason Sandys excellen startup script is executed as an startup script.. it provides much more control and many more features than using the .adm files which ships with SCCM 2012.
Compared to Client push there are many advantages as well, you don't have to open all the ports on the client, the script provides more features like wmi-check. It is a great resource.

Thanks guys!
Since the client is already installed on each computer with the old site code how will the install behave considering that piece?

Installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 via GPO not working properly

Hello,
i've installed Flash Player 11.8.800.94 via GPO.
Installation works fine, but there is no flash player available in Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Deployed both Flash Players.
Tried to reinstall Flash Player 11.8.800.94 for Firefox, but it's still not active.
Windows 7, 64bit
Greetings,
Michael

Hello Comvel.
RE:
Hello,
i haven't fixed it yet.
I've deployed the last few version of flash player without any problems.
I haven't found any new things in the admin guide.
The plugins don't show up in both browsers. I can't enable them.
On the most importent clients, i've installed flash player manually.
I know it has been a few months since your post but, I was wonderingif you were able to find a solution for this that didn't involve manual installations. I've recently deployed 11.8.800.175 and am running into the same problems. Some work stations are just fine. But others, (both windows 7 and xp, all IE8) are not working. When navigating to a site like youtube, theres a banner that says update is needed. When you go to manage add-ons there is no shock object/add on.
