Install Contribute CS4 via Group Policy?

Hi,
We have just purchased some copies of Contribute CS4 and I need to deploy them via a Group Policy. Normally, I will do this with the MSI that has already been created by the manufacturer and do an administrative install (msiexec /a <productname>.msi) but there is only a WinBootstrapper.msi file for Contribute CS4.
Can anyone share with me how they have installed Contribute CS4 via Group Policy?
Thanks.
Pete.

Network Deployment of Adobe Flash Player
I found this link http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html
It is a good idea to extract the msi the deployment data point using msiexec /a {filename} (this creates an administrative installer)
Use the extracted MSI to deploy flash. (either assigned or published)
Please make sure that the user can read from the data point you place the files.

Uninstall Lync 2010 client, Install Lync 2013 using Group Policy/VB/MS Customisation Tool

Hi, I am using Group Policy/vb/Lync customization tools to deploy 2013 and remove 2010. The machines have Office 2010. The vb script is as below:
Dim objShell 'As Object
Dim objFSO 'As FileSystemObject
'-- SET OBJECTS
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strComputerName = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%COMPUTERNAME%")
Dim WshNetwork : Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objShell.Run """\\xxxxxxxxx - Do not Remove\Lync Install 2013 2010\Lync 2013 Outlook 2010\setup.exe"""
I have amended the OCT with relevant settings, Lync 2013 installs but Lync 2010 does not uninstall. Here is how i have it set:
In the Office Customization Tool - Set-up - Add Installation and Run Programs,
In target - pointing to the Lync2010 exe file (on above share)
In Arguments - /silent /uninstall
Is this correct?
Also, i would have thought that, Remove Previous Installations, it would have an option to remove Lync2010?
Anyway..pulling my hair out here!
Hope you can help.

Prevent OL2010 PST creation through group policy; need menu number or policy ID

Greetings all and thanks in advance,
In a similar fashion as found here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/pl-PL/outlook/thread/76081525-71d8-459e-a0cf-39d80a4c6cc7, I need to block the creation of Outlook Data files through this path: File > Account Settings >

I cannot find the specified command bar ID in the following link:

However, we may prevent users from adding PSTs to Outlook profiles via GPO. The location is "gpedit.msc | Computer Configuration | User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Micrsoft Outlook 2010 | Miscellaneous | PST Settings | prevent users from adding

Need help with Adobe Reader 11.0.0.8 and Group Policy Objects

I am trying to deploy Adobe Reader 11.0.0.8 using Adobe Reader.
I am using the AcroRead.msi I found in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Setup Files\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AB0000000001}
HOWEVER
Instead of installing 11.0.0.8 it installs 11.0.0.0
I have not had anyone complain about it asking for an update. But I'm sure it's only a matter of time. (I know about the customization which could prevent the updates, but I can't figure out how to get the correct version installed is the issue not the updates).
So if I run the Setup.exe it ends up installing 11.0.0.8 but AcroRead.msi I think only installs 11.0.0.0
Obviously you can't give a GPO an .exe so it's a closed loop. You can't use an .exe to install the proper version. And you can't install the proper version because you can't use an .exe
You can only use the .msi which apparently only does 11.0.0.0
I've been trying this that, have done jumping jacks and back flips trying to fix this (tried different versions, different approaches to this, nothing seems to work)
Need some help. THIS IS WAYYYYYYY WAYYYYYYYYYYY Overcomplicated btw, shouldn't be this complicated for something so mundane.

A couple of approaches and all involve a bit of work.
Three steps:
Do the install of the 11.0.0 MSI at the command line
Then follow it with the 11.0.07 Updater MSP at the command line
Finally the 11.0.08 Security Patch MSP at the command line.
AIP
Create the AIP from the three files above then then run the MSI from the command line.

Group policy - 'install pending - reboot required'

I have deployed software using GPO - Computer Configuration - Assigned software. This has worked with flying colors for most computers on our domain - all running Windows 7 x86. Only a select few computers have failed to get this software installed.
When I checked RSOP.msc, I get a message that the install is pending and awaiting reboot. These machines have rebooted many times and yet the same message appears on RSOP and the software has yet to actually install.
Where is it getting hung up? Is there some sort of install cache that I can clear on the PC so GPO will try to send the install from scratch?
We have tried several things to try to isolate variables:
Tried gpupdate /force - I am prompted to reboot, and when I do so the software does not install
Checked GP Result - shows that this software install policy was "applied" to the computer, yet it isn't installed
Checked RSOP.msc, I get a message that the install is pending and awaiting reboot - reboots do not resolve this
Added permissions for "everyone" at the distribution point NTFS and share (I doubt it's permissions anyway since installs were successful on most computers before we added more permissions)
Tried adding a Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Group Policy/Startup policy processing wait time - 20 seconds (I tried this after reading this forum question -
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/2a2175bf-132f-46c2-bc5a-4c67932141e2/)
Furthermore, every test I try to manufacture grabs the GPO and installs the software with success. The only machines that fail are machines that aren't easy for me to access as people are using them during the workday.
I have grabbed the event viewer information for a failing PC "WOLF", these events show every time after logon as well:

Any help would be appreciated!

> TeamViewer 6 MSI PDX failed. The error was : %%1274
Not really an error - more an information. Results from a "gpupdate" and
means "reboot now, please".
> from policy TeamViewer 6 MSI PDX failed. The error was : %%2
File not found. That's odd... May need further investigation.
> before the user logon. The error was : %%1274
See above - reboot required.
You may activate appmgmt debug logging and then post the resulting log
file: In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics,
set AppmgmtDebugLevel (REG_DWORD) to 0x9b and examine
%windir%\debug\usermode\appmgmt.log after the next reboot.
If no other solution, you may try to cleanup the appmgmt history key so
that all SW deployment GPOs will be processed again: Rename
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\AppMgmt and
recreate empty.

Installing Adobe Flash Player via microsoft Group Policy

I created two MSI files as recommended by Adobe and install the flash player updates through Group Policy. I have it setup so that the MSI files get published in windows 7 program/features. so when people are on the VPN they can install it manually. When they click on the application, they get an error saying you must have administrative priviliedges to install adobe flash player 12.
There is something in the MSI file stopping it from installing as if you publish it in Program/Features via Group Policy it should allow them to install it without administrative rights as they can install Java software with no issues.ny assistan
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Win2012, like Win 8, has Flash Player embedded into IE by Microsoft. The ActiveX plugin cannot be installed from any download here. There is a Windows Update KB patch and two registry keys that prevent it. Unless you manually remove those, the only way to do anything with Flash Player ActiveX for Win8 or Win2012 is through Windows Update.
Those losers in Redmond (or India) only told you to get it fixed here because they REFUSE to accept responsibility for the gabrage browser they shoved down everyone's throats with IE11.
If you're in a corporate environment and cannot use another browser, then the best you can do is repair IE (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378) and run Windows update again.
If you need the "standalone" Flash Player Projector, it's here: Download the Windows Flash Player 13 Projector
If you need the plug-in for other browsers, it's here: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
But there is no updating the ActiveX plug-in from here, in spite of what Microsoft told you.

Cannot install program after begin removed from Group Policy published programs

Hello,
We recently attempted to publish a program through Group Policy to allow users to install it but due to some requirements of the installer, it did not work. We removed it as a published program and now someone who attempted to install it through that method
cannot install the program at all. When they attempt to run the MSI from their local machine (not from a server share) they get an error saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". We tried putting a copy
of the MSI in the network location it was looking for (which is where it was when it was a published program) and ran in to the same errors as before when it was a published program.
When we ran the installer as a different user that had admin access the program installed correctly and without issue. To avoid having to run as a different user in case the computer only has one admin account, is there a way to clear the user account's
memory of the msi or something?
Thanks.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, deployed msi application will be installed before the computer allows a user to logon if you choose Assign. Otherwise, you need to use Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\install a program from internet to get the msi
installed.
Did you mean to deploy a MSI file to each computers? Is it not the method written in this KB?
How to use Group Policy to remotely install software in Windows Server 2008 and in Windows Server 2003
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/816102?wa=wsignin1.0#method6
If you just deploy a file from a shared network location, make sure that all your users has the permission to access the Network location.
Also, please check the policy under Applocker if there is any policy block the installation of MSI for your domain user except the admin account.

MSI Group Policy install failing because of administrator rights problem

I have succesfully installed the desktop manager software 4.6 on my PC using the MSI from the CD. I am a domain administrator, when I try to install the same MSI on other users in the domain through group policy who are not administrators the software will not install. I have checked and the policy is definately being applied and it says on logon that the Blackberry Desktop Manager software is being installed but no icon or program group is created.
I don't want to give users administrator rights as the users are not allowed to install software on their PC. Normally software installs through group policy without a problem. I don't want to have to go around to each PC and install manually if I can avoid it.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Someone else would really need to answer this, but i have my own simple solution we use here.
Create a share file eg //138.218.137.22 etc etc for the user to go to. In here save a copy of the desktop manager. Get them to click and drag it to their desktop and install the file from there. (do not install the file directly from the shared drive)
Is the cd version won't work, get the install.exe from the blackberry site..
If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.
OR
If it was just/or also really helpful - Give it a Kudos.. Go on Mate.. Help the rest of the clueless blackberry user world find their answer too..

How to install Adobe Pro through GPO?

I currently install several pieces of software for our users through Group Policy, and would like to do the same with Adobe Pro for specific computers. I created a AD group that has the machines I want Adobe installed. I have the install files, and our license key, and ran msiexec /a AcroPro.msi and picked a folder to store the install too.
But when I boot up one of these machines, it "seems" like it goes through the process, but when I log in, I don't see any evidence that Acrobat Pro has been installed.
I've noticed that if I run the MSI manually it asks me which program should be default, Reader or Pro...... is this causing a problem when installing through the GPO?
What's the best way to proceed with this????? I went through the procedures listed http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/gpo_ad_9.pdf but am still having problems.....
Thanks.

The cause of problem is something else.
If you have reader installed on your machine and then if you deploy Acrobat via GPO then Acrobat would get installed and also become the default application for viewing PDF files.
How are you specifying the serial number while deploying via GPO?

I just replaced my hard drive and am trying to install the Snow Leppard OS on my Mac mini using the DVD's that came with the unit. Is there a step by step procedure that will guide me through this process?

I just replaced my hard drive due to failure in my Mac mini. I am trying to load the Snow Leppard OS from the DVD's that came with the unit. Is there a step-by-step procedure somewhere that would help me? This is my first problem with my first Mac. I thought getting to the hard drive and changing it would be the hard part but I made it through that with little trouble. My lack of software experience on the Mac is really slowing me down. I believe I'm not making the right choices in the Disk Utility program.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Prep the new drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Upon completion quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X. When the installation has completed you can proceed to restore your data from your backups. If you have an existing backup from Time Machine or another hard drive then upon completing the Setup Assistant you will have an option to restore from another Mac, a TM backup, or another drive. Use the appropriate option.
