Reader 10.1 update deployment through SCUP losing customizations.

Hi All,
I am currently in the process of testing the deployment of Adobe reader updates through the published SCUP catalogs and SCCM in a very large enterprise environment. I have run into an issue whereby %95 of workstations appear to be falling in scope for the base 10.1 update package and not just the msp patch. When testing this 'Adobe Reader 10.1 English' update the result is all corporate customizations that were built into the original 10.0.1 package are removed and the application returned to default settings.
Is anyone able to provide any guidance on the deployment of Reader X updates through SCUP in such a way the corporate settings are not lost?
Regards,
Ben

Hi Akshat,
Unfortunately we have a third party company repackage applications for internal use so to obtain a full list of customizations will take a little time however I am confirming this behaviour through previously hidden categories within the application preferences reappearing such as the 'Updater' entry. I believe our custom corporate settings were added through the customization tools provided by Adobe resulting in an MST which is installed with the base Reader 10.0.1 package.
I have also attempted to manually install the 10.1 msp update over our repackages Adobe Reader 10.0.1 install (AdbeRdrUpd1010_MUI.msp) and receive the following error.
'The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program...'
Is there a reason why the 'APSB11-16 Reader Multi Lingual User Interface 10.1.0 Update \ AdbeRdrUpd1010_MUI.msp' would not a) scan for applicability when Reader 10.0.1 is installed and b) cannot be manually installed over an existing Reader 10.0.1 install.
At this time we cannot begin approving the 'APSB11-16 Reader English 10.1.0 Update \ AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi' imported through the published Adobe catalog for deployment as it appears machines would revert to default settings such as having auto update re-enabled as an example.
Can anyone else confirm this behaviour whereby deploying 'APSB11-16 Reader English 10.1.0 Update' through SCCM\SCUP appears to perform a full reinstall of the application resulting in the loss of originally packaged settings?

In reading the linked post below, am I to assume that the correct method to manage Adobe Reader 10.x in the enterprise with SCCM\SCUP is to redeploy the new quarterly updated base MSI's with MST's containing corporate settings and then only use SCUP to deploy interum quarterly patches? I was expecting that we can continue to use our packaged 10.0.1 base package and then deploy patches as released without having to redeploy the entire application each quarter.

Can windows 8 be upgraded to 8.1 through CM 2012 Software Updates deployment?

Hi,
Can windows 8 be upgraded to 8.1 through CM 2012 Software Updates deployment rather than having it downloaded through Windows Store?

The update is not available via software updates. However, if you are doing multiple updates, you can bypass the Windows Store.

Adobe Reader 11 search updates through svchost.exe

I'd like to know because Adobe Reader 11 search updates through svchost.exe microsoft service.
When I try to update adobe reader, firewall warn me that svchost.exe process is attempting to access to armmf.adobe.com (TCP 95.100.227.235 - Port 443).
It could be a virus that has infected svchost.exe?

Updater is using BITs (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa362708(v=vs.85).aspx) to downlaod manifest.
BITs could be using svchost.exe
armmf.adobe.com is the right place.
I do not think there is anything to worry about.

How do you stop an update on Pages without losing your data?

how do you stop an update on Pages without losing your data? i've connected my ipad to my phone's internet network through tethering. it's been ages already. but Pages is still not fully updated and i just wanna stop it anyway without losing my work inside...can anyone please shed light on this? i'd be absolutely certainty definitely grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can try pausing the download by tapping on the Pages icon, but you may not be able to use Pages until the update completes. I don't know that for sure, but I wouldn't want to take the chance on corrupting the app and maybe the files.

Sofware update deployment Disable Log info

I'd like to know where we can find a software update deployment disabled information in logs (SCCM 2012)...I disable software update deployments through the console and they look good to me. However, I'm just interested in knowing log information for the
same. I'd also like to know how the logs look like when we Enable Software update deployment.

I'm willing to know disabled Software update deployments information through a Log. Based on what you have told I assume we don't have this data logged in logs...

Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

I cannot get apps to appear in my library menu so i can update them through iTunes. Happened since update to 11.0.2.Have tried all the suggested fixes such as making the sidebar appear etc New update is 'nasty'

As stated no matter how hard i try i CANNOT get apps to appear in my sidebar library menu so i can update them through itunes.Has only happened since last update of itunes .Really wish i hadn't updated as i have never had an issue b4.Spent most of day on fone to apple yesterday as the update created an issue that meant i could not sync at all.Anyway thanks to 'james' in arizona we sorted the first piece of trouble the update created .(sortof).
Not sure why it has to be messed with.Well i spose it is progress!!!
I've looked at lots of posts re this and tried all the suggestions but just cannot get the magic 'apps' category to appear in my sidebar in itunes???
One suggestion was that the apps if clicked on would have an 'update ' button but all i can do is delete them
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
(running osx 10.7.5 on MBP -slightly tricky cos i also run windows in a 'bootcamped' partition.Mind u itunes etc is in mac partition and has been working fine for the last 10 years!!!!!!!!!)

I'm going to assume that you use only one Apple ID so the two things that I can think of are to quite all processes and restart all devices and then try to sync those apps again. Quit iTunes, restart your computer and the iPad and then try to sync the apps again.
The other thing would be to try to reset your iTunes account by signing in and out of the account on the iPad. Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then sign in to your account and try again.

Reader 10.1 update fails, creates huge log files

Last night I saw the little icon in the system tray saying an update to Adobe Reader was ready to be installed.
I clicked it to allow the install.
Things seemed to go OK (on my Windows XP Pro system), although very slowly, and it finally got to copying files.
It seemed to still be doing something and was showing that it was copying file icudt40.dll. It still displayed the same thing ten minutes later.
I went to bed, and this morning it still showed that it was copying icutdt40.dll.
There is no "Cancel" button, so this morning I had to stop the install through Task Manager.
Now, in my "Local Settings\TEMP" directory, I have a file called AdobeARM.log that is 2,350,686 KB in size and a file MSI38934.LOG that is 4,194,304 KB in size.
They are so big I can't even look at them to see what's in them. (Too big for Notepad. When I tried to open the smaller log file, AdobeARM.log, with Wordpad it was taking forever and showing only 1% loaded, so after five minutes, I terminated the Wordpad process so I could actually do something useful with my computer.)
You would think the installer would be smart enough to stop at some point when the log files begin to get enormous.
There doesn't seem to be much point to creating log files that are too big to be read.
The update did manage to remove the Adobe Reader X that was working on my machine, so now I can no longer read PDF files.
Maybe I should go back Adobe Reader 9.
Reader X never worked very well.
Sometimes the menu bar showed up, sometimes it didn't.
PDF files at the physics e-print archive always loaded with page 2 displayed first. And if you forgot to disable the look-ahead capability, you could get banned from the e-print archive site altogether.
And I liked the user interface for the search function a lot better in version 9 anyway. Who wants to have to pop up a little box for your search phrase when you want to search? Searching is about the most important and routine activity one does, other than going from page to page and setting the zoom.

Hi Ankit,
Thank you for your e-mail.
Yesterday afternoon I deleted the > 2 GB AdobeARM.log file and the > 4.194 GB
MSI38934.LOG file.
So I can't upload them. I expect I would have had a hard time doing so
anyway.
It would be nice if the install program checked the size of the log files
before writing to them and gave up if the size was, say, three times larger
than some maximum expected size.
The install program must have some section that permits infinite retries or
some other way of getting into an endless loop. So another solution would be
to count the number of retries and terminate after some reasonable number of
attempts.
Something had clearly gone wrong and there was no way to stop it, except by
going into the Task Manager and terminating the process.
If the install program can't terminate when the log files get too big, or if
it can't get out of a loop some other way, there might at least be a "Cancel"
button so the poor user has an obvious way of stopping the process.
As it was, the install program kept on writing to the log files all night
long.
Immediately after deleting the two huge log files, I downloaded and installed
Adobe Reader 10.1 manually.
I was going to turn off Norton 360 during the install and expected there
would be some user input requested between the download and the install, but
there wasn't.
The window showed that the process was going automatically from download to
install.
When I noticed that it was installing, I did temporarily disable Norton 360
while the install continued.
The manual install went OK.
I don't know if temporarily disabling Norton 360 was what made the difference
or not.
I was happy to see that Reader 10.1 had kept my previous preference settings.
By the way, one of the default settings in "Web Browser Options" can be a
problem.
I think it is the "Allow speculative downloading in the background" setting.
When I upgraded from Reader 9 to Reader 10.0.x in April, I ran into a
problem.
I routinely read the physics e-prints at arXiv.org (maintained by the Cornell
University Library) and I got banned from the site because "speculative
downloading in the background" was on.
[One gets an "Access denied" HTTP response after being banned.]
I think the default value for "speculative downloading" should be unchecked
and users should be warned that one can lose the ability to access some sites
by turning it on.
I had to figure out why I was automatically banned from arXiv.org, change my
preference setting in Adobe Reader X, go to another machine and find out who
to contact at arXiv.org [I couldn't find out from my machine, since I was
banned], and then exchange e-mails with the site administrator to regain
access to the physics e-print archive.
The arXiv.org site has followed the standard for robot exclusion since 1994
(http://arxiv.org/help/robots), and I certainly didn't intend to violate the
rule against "rapid-fire requests," so it would be nice if the default
settings for Adobe Reader didn't result in an unintentional violation.

HT4972 How the heck do I stinken update my Ipod without losing ALL OF MY DATA!!!

Hello, I would like to know how to update my ipod without losing all of my data (apps, music, ect.) could someone tell me please?

All that is required is to sync your iPod Touch with iTunes. This creates a complete backup of all its content.
If you read the instructions for updating iOS it cautions you to back up first.

I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015. When I attempt to convert a file from PDF or to PDF, I get the message "An error occured while trying to access the service. What do I need to do to access the service paid for?

I am using Adobe Reader with paid up service through May 2015. When I attempt to convert a file either to PDF or from PDF, I get the error message, "An error occurred while trying to access the service". What do I need to do to get access to the service I have paid for?

Hi DeaconTomColorado,
Please see "Error occurred when trying to access this service" when logging on to Acrobat.com.
Adobe has just released an update to Adobe Reader, so if you're accessing the service via Reader, please let us know whether the update helps resolve the issue.

How to lock a database Z table before updating it through a report program

Hi,
How to lock a database Z table before updating it through a report program and also how to unlock it after my updation.
The whole process is done through report program.

Hi,
Go to SE11, in the option 'Lock object' enter the name of your lock,
begin with 'E', suppose 'EXXXX' And create. In tab 'Tables' fill the
table name where the record you want to lock exist and select the
lock mode. Lock mode can be shared and exclusive. If 'shared',
when you lock the record, other can also read data, but can not
modify. If 'exclusive', when you lock the record, other can neither
read nor modify the record. After save and activate, you will get two
function module.'ENQUEUE_EXXXX' to lock record,
'DEQUEUE_EXXXX' to release lock on one record.
When use this function module it only lock one record at a time. It
does not lock the table.
Regards,
Omkaram.
