HOWTO: Example CLI commands for CS4 ARD install from a network volume

So, I have been meaning to post up now I've done a couple of successful installs using this command set.
After following the instructions to build a Manual Enterprise Deployment, Adobe recommends that you copy your completed package to the machine and execute it from there. But I found it much easier to just create a network volume that could be accessed by an authorized installer user and mount that and run the install from there instead.
For this example I've assumed:
A server called "server.local"
An install user called "adobeinstaller" with passwd "installerpasswd"
A network share that only the above user can access called "cs4stdvol", containing just the contents of the folder that contains "Setup" off the Adobe Design std Install DVD
A folder called "/Volumes/cs4stdvol" to mount the network share to (if you have a bunch, you may want to consider one mount point with a bunch of subfolder installers)
The actual Unix commands to issue are as follows (make sure to execute as root!):
mkdir /Volumes/cs4stdvol; mount_afp afp://adobeinstaller:[email protected]/cs4stdvol /Volumes/cs4stdvol/; /Volumes/cs4stdvol/Setup.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup --mode=silent --deploymentFile=/Volumes/cs4stdvol/install.xml; umount /Volumes/cs4stdvol/
Basically, the gist of it is:
Make a folder in /Volumes to mount the network share at.
Mount the network share using whatever username and passwd you created.
Run the Adobe Setup app as root in silent mode with the deployment file you created by reading through the setup instructions in the Manual Enterprise Deployment Help.
Unmount the network share (which also automatically deletes the folder from /Volumes).
Hope this helps others,
Eric.

  • Need CLI commands for WPA2 Personal Mode

    I've seen this example, but I need the CLI the gui generates. Can anyone help out please?

    Configure in Personal Mode
    The term personal mode refers to products that are       tested to be interoperable in the PSK-only mode of operation for       authentication. This mode requires manual configuration of a PSK on the AP and       clients. PSK authenticates users via a password, or identification code, on       both the client station and the AP. No authentication server is necessary. A       client can gain access to the network only if the client password matches the       AP password. The password also provides the keying material that TKIP or AES       uses to generate an encryption key for the encryption of the data packets.       Personal mode is targeted to SOHO environments and is not considered secure for       enterprise environments. This section provides the configuration that you need       to implement WPA 2 in the personal mode of operation.

  • 1142 Autonomous Cli commands for 40MhZ bonding DFS

    Does anyone know of a command that I can issue from the CLI that will inform me of the two channels that the AP is using to bond for the 40MhZ width when I select DFS.  I know I can choose either above or below.  Does it just use the next channel ?  So if DFS selects 36 does it just automatically the next channel up if I have 40Mhz Above selected?
    I have autonomous 1142's and I would like to know what the 2nd Channel.  Keep in mind these are Autonomous AP's.
    Also would like to know a CLI command to find out what the channel currently is for either radio if DFS is selected?
    Any docs on CLI commands for the 1142 would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Yes, if you configure 40MHz above it will just use the next channel.  Same with 40MHz below, it will just use the next channel down.
    To see which channel the AP is currently using you can look under "show controller d1"

  • CLI commands for remote network

    I have a 800 router connected to our HQ via site-to-site vpn.
    I have commands i wish to run from the CLI but cannot get them to work.
    Pings fails from the CLI if using 'ping x.x.x.x' but are successful if using 'ping x.x.x.x source x.x.x.x'
    I am guessing all local CLI commands are trying to direct via the WAN as default, how can I resolve this for commands i wish to direct via the VPN.
    The command I really want to run is 'logging host x.x.x.x', with the syslog host being in HQ via the vpn tunnel

  • Site Code for SCCM Clients installed from Secondary Site Server

    Hello,
    We have started the implementation of SCCM 2012 R2 at our network. We have setup a Primary site (JFO) server & pushed out the installation of SCCM clients to the local subnet. Things went fine.
    We have installed a Secondary site (ATC) at a remote network. We have tested client installation in the installation wizard we specify to install the client from the Secondary server. When SCCM client installed from the Secondary server, the site
    code that appears on the client in the control panel->Configuration Manager client settings is the site code of the primary site and not the secondary site.
    Is this behavior is normal

    Ultimately, secondary sites do *not* manage clients and so will never be assigned to the secondary site. However, do note that resources in the console that represent systems that do not have the client agent may show the site code of the secondary site
    if they fall within a boundary group associated with that secondary site. This is done so that client push can be initiated from the correct site. More gory details at http://blog.configmgrftw.com/secondary-sites-and-boundary-groups/

  • Tips For CS4 Mac Install?

    After a decade plus of using Photoshop Elements, I have upgraded to CS4.  I presently have Elements 6 for the Mac and Bridge CS3 (which comes with it) installed.
    Are there tips out there regarding my installation that I should observe to ensure a smoothly operating CS4 when I'm done (other than the normal for Macs--I'm a 20+ year Mac veteran)?  Should I completely uninstall PE6 and Bridge CS3?

    Click the install button.

  • [SOLVED] Mac OS X-like 'view' CLI command for Linux?

    On the Mac, you can type 'view example.doc' to have OpenOffice open it, or 'view image.png' to have the image viewer open it, etc.
    Is there something similar on Linux?
    (I've searched but can't find anything.)

  • Updates for CS4 not installing

    I have never been able to install updates on CS4. I keep getting an error message "Run this update again". I've tried turning off the firewall, but this makes no difference. I am using Windows 7 on my PC. Help!

    What products? Per se there is no reason why updates should not apply just because of Win 7, but just like today in Cs6, back then there already were conflicts where product A had been updated but this prevented product B from running any updates. Manually downloading might be a start, but there's a chance you may have to reinstall from scratch and start over after running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool

  • CS4 suite install from CS2

    I've got CS2 standard installed. I tried to install the CS4 standard upgrade
    but the installer was looking for a CS3 product. The eligibility clearly
    says CS, CS2, and CS3. Why is the installer looking only for CS3?

    Although the cost of upgrading is currently the same for CS1 and CS2 as CS3 I think you have to order a different product number from the CS3 to CS4 upgrade. Did you select the correct qualifying product when ordering the upgrade?
    After February 2009 it will cost more to upgrade from CS1/CS2 to CS4

  • Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac not installing from DVD

    DVD or downloaded "trial" version of PSE 11 will not install on Mac running OS Lion (10.7.5).  Reparied Disk Permissions and still doesn't instal.
    When DVD gets installed, folders appear, click on Photoshop Elements, double click install.app, install runs then back to Finder screen.  Only installs a folder called "Adobe" under User > Applications.  Nothing inside folder to indicated software is installed.  Nothing gets installed in the generall Applications folder.  HELP!

    I figured the PSE 10 serial # would not work.  I'd be happy with just getting 10 to work.  This laptop was just put into use and I did a transfer from my old laptop so there may be files on this new one that I need to delete.  I've tried using an Adobe Uninstaller and it finds nothing to uninstall.  I did notice Photoshop Elelements Organizer is on here and working but not the Editor which is really what I use and need.
    Is there something I can download from Adobe to "clean" any files interferring with my new install?  Do I need to uninstall the Organizer as well?
    BTW, thanks for helping me.  I really appreciate it!

  • Estimate for Powered Subwoofer Install From Geek Squad

    I'm about to buy a compact powered subwoofer called the Sound Ordnance B-8PT from an online retailer.  It is a 120 watt RMS powered sub that will fit under the passenger seat of my 2005 Honda Civic.  I would be buying it with the wiring kit (8 gauge) that would include all the cables needed including power, grounding, and rca among others.  My head unit is an Alpine CDE-121 with the power pack mini-amp.  
    Wiring kit
    amplifier wiring kit with power, ground, and audio connections
    17-foot blue 8-gauge power cable
    4-foot silver ground cable
    17-foot blue remote turn-on lead
    17-foot twisted pair patch cable with EFX-2 RCA connectors
    in-line fuse holder and two 60-amp mini wafer fuses
    6 feet of flex loom
    assorted crimp-on connectors and wire ties
    I know every store might be different and you won't be able to give an exact price but knowing that I would be providing the wiring kit and the sub would be installed under my passenger seat what would be a ball park price for labor should I choose to get it installed at my local Best Buy.  I'm in Atlanta for what it's worth.  

    I would say you would be look at anywhere between $95 and $120 dollars for the install.
    Shop Fee $5
    2CH/Mono amp install $70
    Subwoofer Install $20
    Seat Removal $20
    At least this is what I would probably charge out of my bay. You would still be best of contact your local install bay and getting a quote from an installer.

  • ARD works from inside network, but not from outside.

    I can connect me MB to my G5 no problem when on the network inside my home. But if I'm on another network (and supply the correct IP address) I get an "ARD Not Active" error.
    All seem to be well, both machine are up to date and this works locally.
    What's wrong?

    That I can't tell. I travel and all I can do is open ports at home. I have no control over the hotel's systems.
    This was up and working fine - now it just won't connect. Even for the same locations that used to work just fine.
    But perhaps this is something:
    I recently installed Parallels Desktop. Now in the Network pref Pane, there are "Parallels Guest-Host" and "Parallels NAT".
    That's new, could it be a clue?

  • Installing from a network drive

    I've copied the disks over to a network share and after the 1st CD finishes, it asks for disk #2.  How do I setup the disks so the install will recognise @2?
    Thanks,

    Don't copy, create disc image with ISOBuster or any disc burning tool, then mount them as a virtual drive using Daemen Tools Lite or again your disc burning program's image mounting option.

  • Search for ZfD Agent install script

    I am looking for a script / batch file for installation of the ZENworks agent without reboot of the workstation.
    I am just updating from ZfD 7 SP1 ir3a to ir4 and if I install it manually and start the ZENworks services after install everything is still operational without reboot.
    However if I install the agent with a ZENworks application package it always needs a reboot to activate the ZENworks services again - especially the Workstation-Manager
    I tried it with pre- and post launch and distribution scripts, and with batch file installation. Everytime when the Workstation-Manager stops the installation ends but the post-scripts and batch processing stops as well. It always requires a reboot to activated the Agent again - or a manual start of the Workstation-Manager service.
    I need to find just a way to call a batch file after the MSIEXEC process finishes in order to perform a "net start Workstation-manager".
    The difference to other invoronments might be, that the Application is assigned to the Workstations instead to the users like in most other environments.
    Thanks for your ideas, Klaus

    Well .... [toot horn]
    This is a link to a script I wrote in AutoIt that I used for many ZfD6 - 7 deployments. Was very successfully in getting the agent out and you run it from the login script.
    Zenworks 4x - 7.x Workstation Agent Automated Deployment - Novell: ZENworks FAQ - Tek-Tips
    I didn't write it to do a removal of the agent, but would be simple enough to be added. On the same forum site, in the Zen FAQ's I also posted the source code for the script I have been using to do ZCM deployments. In it has the code you would need to add to facilitate the uninstall of the agent so you can do a reinstall.
    Originally Posted by Croaker

    I.e. app copies the zfdagent.msi to the workstation (it won't work off a
    server, because as soon as you stop the workstation helper/manger, the
    workstation will lose the ability to install from the network)
    Then executes the batch file
    The batch file stops the zenworks services, unloads the NAL (may not be
    necessary, not sure if the msi will do this)
    Batch file then installs the ZFD agent with the noreboot option.
    batch file restarts each service
    Problem will be the batch file really can't re-start the nal correctly.
    Since the batch file will be running under the SYSTEM scope, anything it
    launches will be under that scope too (ie.. the NAL), so when it loads, it
    wouldn't see any user-based apps.
