Is there a network management solution for adobe reader updates.

Hi
I'm looking for a program we can install on our update server to push adobe updates to +\- 300 users that don't have admin rights. Anyone know of any software that would do this?
Thanks,
Doug

Doug:
Since your options don't seem to be limited by pay vs. open source, you have a multitude of possible solutions. You could purchase the now outdated SMS 2003 product from Microsoft, or elect to go with their "latest and greatest" distribution management product SCCM. We have dabbled with another similar product here that shows promise: Altiris. An open source option that I ran across in my research is WPKG. I can not vouch for WPKG but it seems a viable solution. Keep in mind, with a paid product, you are paying for support as well as the software. If you elect to go with an open source option, support can be somewhat limited in scope.
I hope this helps?

Is there a 64 bit install for Adobe Reader?

Hello,
I want to make a note that I did a search on the form, using the following text
"Is there a 64 bit install for adobe reader?"
And I did not find my answer. That is why I'm posting this as a question.
So, with that out of the way....
I am getting ready to build a new computer for myself, and will be running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit. Before I begin, I want to make sure I have all of my software that I want installed, and I am doing research on each program to see if there is a 64 bit version that can be installed. What I would like to do is have as many as my programs that I install be 64 bit as possible. I know that not every program will be 64 bit, but I did want to get as many of them as possible to be 64 bit applications.
As I do want a PDF reader on my computer, and I have used Adobe Reader for years, I started looking on the web site to download the current version. However, I did not see any place that I could download a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader.
That is why I'm here asking. Is there a 64 bit version of Adobe Reader that I can download? If so, where is it on the web site?
This does lead me to a follow up question. Is there a 64 bit version of the Flash Player, as well as the Shockwave player? If so, where can I download them from as well.
Thanks in advance,

Again, I think you need to check the Microsoft web page, as I was able to find 64 bit versions of IE8 for download.
The URL to access the page is
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-8
From that page, I am able to select a 64 bit version of IE 8 for the following Operating Systems
-- Windows XP 64 Bit
-- Windows Vista 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2003 64 Bit
-- Windows Server 2008 64 Bit
Windows 7 is not listed as an option as it already comes with IE8 installed by default.
Looks to me that Microsoft has already released a 64 bit version of IE8.
In fact, I went ahead and downloaded IE8 for Windows 2003 Server x64 bit, and looked at the details of the file. Each microsoft download has a digital signature associated with them, showing a date and time of when the exe was built.
According to what is shown below, IE8 for Windows Server 2003 has been around since Sunday, March 08, 2009.
So, what has adobe been doing since March of 2009? IE8 has been 64 bit for well over 2 years now (it will be 3 in March of 2012). While I know that it does take time to develop new applications, I don't think it would take 3 years for Adobe to come up with a 64 bit version of Reader that could have been built under the 64 bit platform.

Which Base MSI to Use For Adobe Reader Updates?

I am new to creating AIP for Adobe Reader and am wondering which MSI to use as the base installer. From what I understand, to create an AIP for Adobe Reader 11.0.07, I need to first have the AIP created for 11.0.00 and then patch it using the 11.0.07 MSP file. (the 11.0.07 MSP file contains all other updates found in earlier quarterly releases and OOC releases)
So my question is on obtaining the correct MSI file for creating the original 11.0.00 AIP. My options for obtaining the correct MSI are threefold:
The original 11.0.00 MSI (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi) (only one msiexec comand required)
The original 11.0.00 EXE (AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe) (extract the files from the exe, then run the msiexec command)
The new 11.0.07 EXE (AdbeRdr11007_en_US.exe) (same as previous item)
I noticed that the MSIs in the AIP are named "AcroRead.msi" when extracted from an EXE file (#2 and #3 above) but named "AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi" when extracted from the original MSI file (#1 above). Are all three of these resulting MSIs the "same"? They all have different MD5 hashes but otherwise appear identical.
Once I have the original AIP for 11.0.00 backed up, I should be able to reuse it when new quarterly releases come out. Can anyone help please? What is recommended? Thanks!

No one answered, but I think probably all can be used. I made a script that will automatically extract and build the AIP from the most recent EXE file provided by Adobe. Why Adobe doesn't create a new MSI themselves is beyond me.

Is notification for Adobe Reader Update 11.0.0.04 fake?

Yesterday a notification popped up on my iMac (OSX 10.8.5) asking me if I wanted to download or install Adobe Reader Update 11.0.0.4. Was this an Adobe error with the upgrade number or could it possibly have been a fake notification and possibly malware. I pressed ESC rather than clicking yes or no on the popup. Do I have anything to worry about? I then went to the Adobe website and downloaded the 11.0.04 update. Thanks, Linda

Or download/install the update manually from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5639

Is there a 3rd Party Solution for Adobe's lack of recover for unsaved work?

Time and time again I am baffled by Adobe's inability or refusal to make the user experience consistent across it's entire Creative Suite.
I am repeatedly shocked by the punitive error messages I receive in Photoshop. It's as though you don't really care what the user wants, I mean what are we going to do, use MS Paint? So you are at liberty to provide such classic errors as "Unable to complete your request because of a program error" instead of "wait, did you mean apply that filter to the only visible layer that you had selected just seconds before and never requested that the layer be de-selected?" I could go on and on with the crazy and convoluted exceptions to logic in Photoshop, but I would rather just understand why, when you know that a problem exists and affects 90% of your users at some point, why wouldn't you try to build in some form of recovery when your program crashes
Why should I be punished for relying on your program not to crash when I am working on something? I have repeatedly been advised that the best solution is to save often. Sometimes that's not an option and why should it be my responsibility to compensate for your buggy program?
After 20 years of development, you can't figure out how to recover someone's work if they haven't been able to save for some reason and Phtooshop crashes? I have been using Photoshop since Version 3 (for sure, but more likely version 2) and back then you could rename your temp files and recover the work you hadn't saved. I understand that the mechanism by which fast previews (comps) of your work are displayed but not applied (like Live Image), but why isn't it possible to store a simple text file that could retrace my steps if your program crashes?
This is a real problem if you are processing a filter that takes 30 minutes and Photoshop waits until 29 minutes and 59 seconds to announce that it stopped working. Granted you can see your document in the background, but you can't save it? You can't commit whatever is in RAM for the undo states to disk? You can't have your program quickly save a new text file with the list of commands applied between saves? You can't do anything? After 20 years?
Microsoft includes recovery in Word, Excel, etc. Even SOME Adobe programs do it: InDesign...AfterEffects. Why doesn't your flagship program do it?
It's frustrating beyond belief and it baffles me that Adobe is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Photoshop and yet this basic, basic customer need is still not effectively addressed and furthermore, any question about it is answered with indignant indifference:
it doesn't work and we don't care what you want,
think you'd be happier with our competition....
oh wait, we don't really have any competition...
maybe you should save more often...
Is there a 3rd party solution that will allow me to recover my work in Photoshop when it crashes between saves? Or am I just stuck having to cope with rebuilding my work because Adobe refuses to provide a solution.
(let the backlash begin as I try to simulate my lens blur using MS Paint....not gonna happen)

Go to google and search for keyboard recording software. That will record all of your keystrokes.
CS4 running under windows 7 appearently has some problems. While it would be nice if Adobe went back and rewrote there software for an operating system that was in early development when CS4 was released, it is not likely to happen.
Excuse me, they did it is called Adobe Photoshop CS5 and is due to be release soon.
If, If you would stop ranting for a minute, and quit feeling like you are being slammed, and possibly listen for a minute.
I am currently running Windows Vista Home Premium "not my choice" on a Toshiba A215-S4747 with 3gb ram. When I bought this laptop the Toshiba Rep was at the Best Buy and I spoke with him about this very computer. I did not want to run Windows Vista, period, I had heard to many bad reports about it. The Toshiba Rep told me that was not a problem and this computer would run Windows XP Professional just fine.
So I bought this computer and 2gb of ram as it only came with 512mb. I went home happly and proceeded to install Windows XP Pro and the new memory. Guess what?
this computer will in fact run Windows XP Pro just fine as long as you take into consideration that there are almost no hardware drivers for the periferals that make up this computer.
So I reinstall Windows Vista and for the next year I am tied into fits because of system crashes. Finally I am at the point that I am going to take this computer to the Toshiba Office in Torrance California and personally give it back to them "I was going to throw it through the front office window.".
Just before I ran across memtest and I downloaded it and tested my memory. You got it I had a defective ram chip.
Best Buy replaced the chip no problem. that was in November of 2008. I do horrible things to this computer, I really can drive it. It has not crashed once since I found and fixed the problem.
No one is suggesting that you are an idiot! or inexperienced. but no matter what you do remember 2 very simple rules.
If you run into a problem 1. "Go Back To Basics" and 2. "KISS ie: keep it simple stupid" if you do this and I am speaking from my own experience you will find like and work a lot simpler and more pleasent.

Is there a difference in scripting for Adobe Reader 8.0

Hi,
I started to create Interactive forms with Adobe Reader 7.0 installed on my machine. I had problems with dynamically growing text field so when I searched the forum, it was suggested that it is a problem for the Adobe versions 7 and lesser so I installed Adobe Reader 8.0 on my system but after installing that lots of scripts stopped working.
An example is that the following print comman is not working now.
xfa.host.print(1, "2", "2", 0, 1, 0, 0, 0); - I am trying to print the 3rd page.
Can anyone tell me if the scripting has changed because it was working fine till I installed the newer version of Adobe.
Thanks,
Kalyan

Hi Kalyan,
No idea about Abode reader 8.0 but i suugest try to use Adobe reader 7.1.
your scripts should work on 7.1. You can test the client side scripts using adobe life cycle designer standalone.

Is there a PF Restriction Remover for Adobe Acrobat 10 running in a Windows 7 operating system?

Is there a PDF Restriction Remover for Adobe Reader version 10 running on on a Windows 7 operating system?

To remove a password, you would have Acrobat (not Reader). Go to File > Properties, set No Security. Enter the password when prompted.

Per-user location for adobe reader plugins

I am working on an installer which for a per-machine installation, copies a plugin to Adobe Reader's plugins directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins). But for a per-user installation, it won't have access to this directory. So, is there a per-user location for Adobe Reader/Acrobat plugins where this plugin can be installed?
OS: Microsoft Windows 7

There is no per-user location.

Adobe Reader update 11.0.09 Broke my mouse magnifier. I uninstalled but now I get prompts to install. How do I get rid of the prompts?

My gawd this site is the most ridiculously difficult site I've ever seen. Round and round we go and where we stop nobody knows. Will someone please tell me how to make the prompt for Adobe Reader update 11.0.09 go away?? It already shows that number was d/l'd in Sept. 2014. I d/l'd it the other day and it broke the magnifier on my microsoft 5000 mouse. I use that a LOT. I can't lose it. I uninstalled the update and now I get prompts continuously. What to do?

Thank you I will try that. Why am I being prompted to d/l an old update? I didn't even know there was a more recent one.

Wireless network management solution

We are running a pilot project to deploy a centralize wireless solution for our campus. The pilot consists of only about 20 Cisco1200 access points. We are in need of Network Management solution to manage these access points. The NMS would have to pretty much behave like what we already have into place for our wired networks such as: alerts on snmp traps, thresholds settings, data capture, administration,etc, in general be able to proactively check possible shortcomings on the infrastructure and help to troubleshoot problems. Once we fully deploy the centrally controlled wireless network, there could be any way from 1200 to 1500 access points, so whichever system we choose must be able to scale to these numbers.
Im interested in knowing which wireless network management solutions are the preferred one from the audience on this forum. Your input will help me to narrow down possible options.
Thanks a lot for any information.

I would suggest that you go for the WLSE. CiscoWorks WLSE is a centralized, systems-level application for managing and controlling an entire Cisco Aironet WLAN infrastructure. For more information on this read

Cisco Network Management Solution

Hi,
I was asked to put together a Network Management solution to manage multiple sites. The sites are as follows:
Site 1 - Approx 30 Switches (Cisco 4507 Core / Cisco 3750X Access)
Site 2 - Approx 50 Switches (Cisco 4507 Core / Cisco 3750X Access)
Site 3 - Approx 40 Switches (Cisco 4507 Core / Cisco 3750X Access)
Site 4 - Approx 40 Switches (Cisco 4507 Core / Cisco 3750X Access)
Site 5 - Approx 50 Switches (Cisco 4507 Core / Cisco 3750X Access)
The sites are connected over a 2 or 4Mbps WAN connection to a central site.
Can you please advise on the following:
1) Architecture - Centralized or Distributed?
2) Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2? or is there anything else?
Thanks,
Z

You need to define what functions you want before selecting tools.
Event management (syslog, SNMP traps).
Network Change and Configuration Management (NCCM), which includes network discovery, inventory, as well as config mgmt.
Performance data collection, analysis, and alerting.
IP Address management.
Topology mapping.
Active path testing.
Application performance management.
Once you know what functions you want to implement, you can start identifying products that fulfill those requirements.
