Flash Updates Via AD Login Scripts

Does anyone have any suggestions on applying Flash updates to
network computers using Active Directory batch file login scripts?
Also, we need to figure out how to detect if the application
exists, install it if it does, or not to install it if it does not.
Also, how will the patch know if it's even applicable?
Of course this would apply to Shockwave Player as well.
Thanks

Have you read this, it may help.

  • Flash Update via SCUP Problem

    Hello,
    I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers.
    Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin.
    But now my Problem:
    After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working)
    I figured the Updater works like this:
    First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins.
    First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled.
    But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error.
    This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before)
    How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?
    Thank you very much!
    Sincerely Martin

  • SIMPLE login script install of zfd4 agent?

    Hi,
    your Login Script must be seen like this:
    #z:exist c:\programme\novell\zenworks\nalwin32.exe
    if "%ERRORLEVEL"="0" THEN GOTO NOTHING
    #z:\zfdagent\agent.bat
    NOTHING:
    END
    the agent.bat is a batch File to install the agent in silent mode
    it looks like that:
    msiexec /i z:\zfdagent\zfdagent.msi /qn ADDLOCAL=ALL EDITABLE_MT_ADDRESS=1
    STARTUP_APPWINDOW=1 STARTUP_APPEXPLORER=0 REBOOT=ReallySuppress /l*v %
    WINDIR%\zfdagent.log
    the z:\zfdagent is a subdirectory in the sys:\system\Public where
    zfdagent.msi file exists.
    hier is a link to download exist.exe

  • How do I connect my Centro to the Internet via bluetooth over PC's Internet? Where is Centro's PPP Connection Type? How do I setup Login Script for bluetooth connection?

    I am trying to set up bluetooth on the Centro to connect to the internet via my PC's internet.
    HotSync over bluetooth works successfully.
    Computer specs: Toshiba P205-S6277; Bluetooth Stack v5.10.04 (currently using); Bluetooth Monitor v3.01 (to use Vista's built-in bluetooth)
    I think I have narrowed my problem down to 3 things.
    (1) Finding Network Access properties (to allow connected devices to access the internet)
    (2) Finding Centro's Network Connection Type: PPP
    (3) Finding the correct Login Script to use
    for (1) I think I've looked everywhere; found nothing on Network Access. 
    Checked control panel: only Bluetooth Local COM
    Right-clicked bluetooth icon > Settings: File transfer, PAN Networking, PAN DHCP server, AV controls. Other bluetooth settings are for file transfer or object push. I don't see anything like this.
    I'm stumped on (2). It seems as if palm removed this option under Centro's Advanced network settings .
    Nearly all the forums that I read says to choose Connection Type: PPP.
    (3) Found 2 scripts that seemed would work. I don't know how it exactly works but it sounds workable.
    First script:
    Send: CLIENT
    Send: CLIENT
    Wait for: CLIENTSERVER
    End:
    Script 1 Connect Log:
    =======================================
    Connect Log
    S: client
    S: client
    R:
    Err: 0x121F   <<<netErrUserCancel b/c I canceled it. 
    Not connected
    ========================================
    I canceled it because the process would stay on "Signing In" then it automatically "Canceled" itself.
    Second script:
    Send CR:
    Delay: 1
    Send: CLIENT
    Wait For: CLIENTSERVER
    End
    **UPDATE** I found on this forum (Reply # 3689) that the script is needed only if you are using Palm OS 4 or under. Centro uses Palm OS 5.49121. Can anyone support this?
    Even without the script it has problems "Signing In".
    I'm currently reading this site and trying out its decribed methods. I will update this thread when I get the results.
    I'm using the Centro. And If anyone's been able to successfully connect to the internet on the Centro via a bluetooth connection to the PC WITHOUT 3rd party applications, please share.  If not, please share any ideas.
    Thanks!
    -Eric

    I've been going at this for days, and have probably exhausted all the proposed solutions on the first 3 pages of various google searches. I'm getting the feeling that Vista users are pretty much SOL for the time being.
    For the record, I just tried out a few of the solutions (mRouter & SoftickPPP) on XP and they work perfectly.

  • 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!

  • Efi update via usb flash drive?

    I would like to know if there is a way to perform an efi update via a usb flash drive?

    tried the latest 2010 build, got the same problem: 'missing operating system' and again in ubuntu the flash drive is an unknown filesystem.
    tried again on a different computer and got the same error.. how frustrating!
    edit: just to clarify i used the following command 'sudo dd if=path/to/image.img of=/path/to/device' i also changed directory to where the image file is and tried again without absolute referencing the path for 'if=' both of which returned that the command had been completed successfully in terminal.
    edit: tried using again with a different USB stick (Maxell 4GB), again terminal returned 'x amount of files successfully copied to sdc1'.
    .. something different happened this time, i didn't get the same error as before, instead the text 'grub' appears with a blinking cursor. nothing else.

  • Update Flash Player via Adobe or whatever Apple updates?

    I have always just let whatever Apple installer that updates Flash Player do my flash updating. Should I, instead, just always update directly from Adobe whatever the "latest" version of FP is? In the past, Apple seems to include a FP update with either a Safari or Security update. I have no idea if they do not update FP on a more frequent schedule because Apple has not "tested" the latest version.
    Also, I have read that it is better to uninstall your current FP before running the current installer, however, the instructions on Adobe's website does not mention that at all.
    Any suggestions?
    Message was edited by: powerbook1701

    Apple does not provide Flash Player updates, and the version included with the OS X install disks may be out of date.
    Update via Adobe when you hear of an update, or just check regularly.
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Flash player, to update via Adobe or wait for Apple

    Usually, I just wait for Apple to include an update in one of their updates that come out. Currently, flash player 9.0.28 is what I am using (PPC), and that came with one of the latest updates from them.
    I know that their is a slightly newer point version out available on the Adobe's website.
    Any thoughts if it is wiser to just let flash updates come in via Apple, or just down the latest flash player from adobe??

    Apple Software Update doesn't update third party software and Flash Player is no exception.
    The most current version of Flash is 9.0r47 July 10, 2007:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11622 or
    http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-12.html
    Now, it could be that Apple got permission from Adobe to include their software in one of its updates and the quote does give that impression, but I would not expect these events. Since I didn't do a before and after inspection after the 4.9 update I have no way to test.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61798
    10.4.10 was released June 20, 2007 so we may have to wait until the next "security" update to see if Apple also includes this Flash update, too.
    Me? I don't wait for Software Update to fix third party issues.
    Posted, also, with no intent of disrespecting your thoughts on this matter.

  • Update user login script on specific OU matches

    Hi
    I need to update the login script for several hundred users. The The OUs I wish to pick the users from match:
    CN=User1,OU=123 Users,OU=127,OU=Business,DC=test,DC=company,DC=co,DC=uk
    CN=User1,OU=124 Users,OU=124,OU=Business,DC=test,DC=company,DC=co,DC=uk
    etc.
    I need a way to skip though ad picking out 123 users, 124 users, etc and replacing their login scripts. My assumption would be with a regex but would appreciate some help on the best way to do this.
    Thanks

    A regex for that might look like this:
    '^OU=12[34] Users'
    Apply it using the -match operator against the DNs of the OUs, then get the users using those as your SearchBase:
    (Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter *).DistinguishedName -match '^OU=12[34] Users' |
    foreach { Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase $_ }

  • Deploying Adobe Reader & Flash Updates

  • I am asked to turn off Safari(v7) for the Flash Update even when Safari is not on.

    I have tried many times to install the Flash update on my MAC (OS X 10.9).  It asks me to close Safari to finish, even when Safari is not on.  I even restarted the computer, never opened Safari and it still asked me to close Safari.

    If you use MenuTab (Facebook plugin), it will give a false "open" for Safari. It sets as a Login item by default when installed so rebooting won't help.
    Applications/Utiltites>Activity Monitor.
    Terminate MenuTab, and proceed with the nstallation.

  • Safari will not load pages after flash update yesterday

    I am trying to access pages like CNN.com...with the nice background image on the home page...it does not load the images. Also, articles like "34 sports photos" do not load the flash player so I can see the photos.
    how do I fix that or revert?

    If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
    If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    For a "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
    For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
    In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
              Delete All Site Data and Settings
    then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
              When visiting other websites
    From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
    b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Step 6
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
              Flash Player (failing).plugin
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 7
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 8
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked 
              Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
              Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 9
    Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • Since installing Flash update today, Flash no longer works on FireFox (works fine on IE)

    As prompted, Adobe Flash update was installed today. Since installing , Flash no longer works with FireFox (works ok with IE);

    Hi guys - for me this helped.
    Close Firefox - open Internet Explorer - got to the Adobe Flash Player Site:
    http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/
    In IE you can see there is the 64-bit version - (in Firefox there was just the 32-bit version) - got to: (others)
    http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/otherversions/
    choose your system and version
    download it via internet explorer and install the adobe flash player
    restart firefox and it should work.
    helped me after wasting one day of my life to find a solution, alle sites work just fine now.
    hope this helps.
