How to set Updates with 11.3 when using Apple Remote Desktop for installation?

So for all pre-11.3 versions of Flash Player on OSX, I have just pulled out the "Adobe Flash Player.pkg" installer package from the installer .dmg and used Apple Remote Desktop to deploy Flash to the Macs I manage.
However, when doing that with Flash 11.3, this leaves the "Updates" setting in the Flash Player System Preference set to "Notify me to install updates".
I'd like to push something that would set this to "Allow Adobe to install updates".
Is there a way to modify the .pkg installer to have the System Preference set to that value (or push/copy some other .plist file to the clients to have that setting enabled?)
Thanks!

I poked around a bit and the file seems to be:
/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg
I'd like to get some confirmation from Adobe that this is the correct file to push, though (it seems like it as it only contains this):
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1

How do you update the Bios safely when using onboard RAID mirror? Z87-G45

How do you update the Bios safely when using onboard RAID with Z87-G45? I'm using a simple two drive, RAID 1 mirror setup.
I'm currently at bios 1.4, and want to move up. However, last time I upgraded the BIOS, the machine rebooted with improper settings for the RAID (they get hosed during BIOS flash) and Windows decided to auto-repair the only boot drive it could see, one half of the mirror, because it couldn't see the RAID array correctly and *POOF* bare-metal reinstall required.
My PC will not let me press the DEL key on bootup to access the bios, even with MSI Fast Boot not installed. It just ignores the DEL key and tries to load windows which, if that happens, will flame-out my RAID array after a bios flash if I can't catch it to enable the RAID first before windows loads.
I do not want to rebuild my PC again simply because I do a BIOS update.

FYI: BIOS 1.4 & 1.8 are using the same RAID version: 12.7.0.1936
based on this RAID surprise should not hapends.
But as pandaz says if you have no issues, leave bios update alone.
there are still risks something to messed up,
best do a backup of your data just in case if you want to try latest version

How to set fetchsize of sql Query when using Database Adapter.

Hi All,
I am using DatabaseAdapter to connect to database and retriving huge amount of data.For improvement in the performance I want to set the "fetchsize" of sql query. I know fetchsize can be preset in Java using Jdbc 2.0 API.Please let me know how to set this value in BPEL when using DBAdapter?
Thanks
Chandra

I talked to the developer of the db adapter - and he told me this feature will be available in BPEL PM 10.1.3 (which is supposed to be production later this year, and a public beta soon). If this is an emergency I would recommend going throug Oracle support and have them file an enhancement for 10.1.2.0.2

Updating Acrobat using Apple Remote Desktop

I'm pretty sure I already asked this yet I can't find the post so I need to ask again.
I need to update Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Reader 9 remotely - without having to touch every Macintosh the software resides on. I would like to create a cumulative package and install updates using Apple Remote Desktop. I have looked at the Enterprise Deployment software and documentation, yet I don't use Adobe Creative Suite - I only use Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Reader 9.
I have users with varying versions of Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Reader 9, so downloading one version update won't work. What I need is a cumulative updater containing updates from 9.0 through 9.4 for both products that can be deployed via Apple Remote Desktop.
Is this possible and if so, how?
Thanks for any assistance.

We have the same problem. We can mass desploy CS5 with a package made with the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition application. But Acrobat is not supported by AAMEE. Making my own package based on the information on http://www.osxdeployment.info/wiki/CS5_Repackaging_Guide doesn't work for us.
We have more than 300 Macs and it's impossible to do the installation manually.
Adobe should provide a standard pkg for Acrobat Professional 9.3 (part of CS5 DP & WP Suite).
FYI a trial of Acrobat X is nowhere to be found for Mac: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro

When using apple remote app on ipad or iphone to control apple TV is there a way of selecting different airplay speakers?

When using apple remote on ipdad or iphone to control apple TV is there a way to select different airplay speakers without having to control the menu on screen. Eg I want to listed to my music through apple tv (which is in the living room) and beam it to my airplay speakers in my bedroom, at the moment I would have to go back into the living room to see my tv screen to select the bedroom airplay speakers, then go back upstairs to listen to the music. YOu should be able to select the speakers in app without looking at the TV screen. Hopefully that makes sense!?!

Look at this.

Using Apple Remote Desktop with Audio Applications

Hello, I am configuring a setup consisting of a Mac Pro with Mac OS 10.4.9 running Logic Audio and a Mac G5 Quad with Mac Os 10.4.8 running Protools HD.
I am considering using a Gefen Systems KVM switcher, or Apple Remote Desktop.
Has anyone had any experience using Apple Remote Desktop to run Protools?
Scott

if all you need is to be able to control another computer, then ARD would be overkill. Look into the freeware VNC. That will give you control capabilities and not cost you anything. You can find VNC applications for Mac here. Most people seem to find Chicken of the VNC works well for them.

Overriding function keys when using MS Remote Desktop Connection

Is there a way when connected to a RDP client using MS Remote Desktop Connection to prevent the function keys from being intercepted and handled by OSX. For example on my iMac keyboard, function keys 7 to 12 are used to control itunes and alter the system sound volumes. Is there a way to have these keys processed by the RDP client instead, so that the remote Windows OS can handle them?
While this question currently relates to an iMac, I'll soon be using a Macbook Pro in the same scenario, and will be requiring a similar solution for that machine.

Thanks for your suggestion. Setting that option only toggles what the function keys are interpreted as in OSX, but the key presses are still not processed by the OS in the RDP session. For example, pressing F9 when the RDP window is active shows all open OSX windows in Expose, rather than having the keypress processed by the active software in the RDP session
I did try posting to the forum you mentioned yesterday, but due to server issues my post failed. I'll try again today.

How to play itunes music library from iMac using apple remote? Can only use my iPhone as a REMOTE to play on itunes to Apple TV!!

how can i how can I play itunes library on my IPHONE4 from IMAC using APPLE REMOTE? I can only use my iPhone 4 as a REMOTE to play itunes from IMac to APPLE TV.

You cannot. The remote app is exclusively for remotely controlling an apple tv for playback of a library on your computer. If you want to play your computer's music on your iPhone you just use home sharing on both devices and play the music in the Music app on your phone, not using the Remote app on your phone.

Password expires when using the Remote Desktop App in Android

When the password expires, users using the Microsoft Remote Desktop App in Android cannot logon to the system.
Is there a way for them to be notified of the password expiry and having a chance to change the password?
Cheers.
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
You can set the GPO policy, “Interactive Logon: Prompt user to change password before expiration” under
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Local Policies\Security Options which will let the user prompts to change their password before specific limit.
More information.

How about rephrasing your original question as I find it confusing and likely incomplete.
People will try to help but they must understand your question.
Also they are less likely to help a poster that bashes someone trying to help.

How to set encoding of the file when using UTL_FILE

Hi,
We are using HRMS 11i applications. 11.5.10.2 version. Two languages are installed in our instance. American English and Canadian French.
We have requirement to send employee details in a text file to third party vendor. We are using UTL_FILE to write details to the text file from PL/SQL procedure.
The generated output file has encoding as "UTF8". Where as vendor is not able to process this file. They required encoding as "ANSI".
How can we change the encoding to "ANSI" ?
Values of character set parametrs are as follows.
NLS_CHARACTERSET UTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET UTF8
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Veerababu.

You should take a look at the UTL_FILE documentation. As far as I know standard UTL_FILE calls write to the file system in the database character set. There are mirrored calls, but those write to the file system in UTF8.
You may want to look at the UTL_RAW.CONVERT function. You may be able to use that in conjunction with the UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW API to write out data in the correct character set. To be honest, I've never tried this approach.

How do I set a screensaver timeout using Apple Remote Desktop?

I know how to do this locally, but a) can I do it with ARD, and b) can I keep the end users (who may have administrator rights to their computers) from changing it. I need to implement this policy to lock every computer after 15 minutes of idle time.

If a user is an administrator on the computer they can do almost any thing they want.
You could install Apple Server Admin Tools onto your computer. One of the applications included in the tool set is Workgroup Manager. Work group manager can be used to create/modify MCX. Ether on the local computer or remotely on an MCX compatbale directory server. (such as open directoy) MCX can be used to force a specific setting for many plist controled features.
You can use it to force a setting like time till screen saver starts. Require password when waking from sleep/screen saver. Force login window isntead of auot-login on reboot/startup.
The nice thing about using a server, such as an open directory, is that it's very easy to push out MCX policy updates. Of corse you would have to update your computers to the directory server.
If you don't have a directory server, and don't want a directory server. Then you can use work group manager to modifies the local policy of a comptuer. you can then use a unix commands to extract the actually MCX settings. You could then use ARD Send Unix command to apply the MCX settings to one or more remote computer.
ether way, an admin on the computer could still remove the MCX. But the user would have to figure out where setting is coming from. and then figure out how to remove the setting.

Setting a user's iChat status to available using Apple Remote Desktop

Hi,
I have a couple of users who routinely forget to re-set their iChat status to 'available' when arriving for work and opening their laptops. (Of course, iChat usually fails to set their status automatically, even though that option is checked).
Is there a terminal command I can issue to do this for them from ARD?

osascript -e 'tell application "iChat"' -e 'log in' -e 'end tell'
