REQUEST: Adobe Update Server

Hi,
I am an admin of 80 Workstation and I would like to request an Adobe Update Server like WSUS from Microsoft or SAP Installation Server. Adobe release a lot of Updates and sometimes they are critical such as for the Adobe Reader. So i must walk to all 80 Workstation and install the Update manually. Thats time intensive and the Workstation are not secure until i install the Update. To use the Update function of the Products is no opinion because when every workstation download only the Photoshop CS4 Update i have about 8 GB internet traffic.
Adobe develop a lot of wonderful Products and when they develop an Adobe Update Server all Admin in the World can update their Products promtly and all Products would be save. And nobody can use a security hole to get control over the workstation. The Admins can save a lot of time with such a Server. And time is Money
Dear Dusselritter

You might try the Creative Suite forums. I am pretty sure I made it into the CS4 Installer beta test by posting up on my attempts to get a CS3 automated install working in there...
But basically, I am with you in spirit. Adobe needs to deliver their updates packaged for delivery by the Workgroup Management software for each platform. On the Mac side it is Installer packages that Apple Remote Access can push to the client machines. I guess it would be WSUS-compatible packages on the Windows side?

Cleanup an Adobe Update Server

Hi Everyone,
I have an Adobe update server successfully running at our organization and I've noticed recently that the storage location/drive for the updates is starting to fill up.
Is there a way to delete the updates that have already been distributed so I can make way for the newer updates?
Thanks in advance,
Mb

Adobe Update Server

Hi,
I am not sure if my post is appropriate here. If not I'm asking the Forum Admin to transfer my post in the right forum topic.
I just want to ask other Adobe admins if it is possible to create an Adobe Update Server just like the Software Update of Apple. Where in we will install a server and configure this server to download and store all the adobe application update and serve it locally to our workstation (All macintosh).
We are mainly using (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Bridge, Acrobat and After Effects)
Is this possible?
please advice

Adobe Update Server - Web Premium CS5.5 - Error Code: U41M1C213

Good Afternoon All!
I've just received the site licence for Adobe Web Premium CS5.5 and installing the Adobe Update Server.
I can browse to the xml file on the client (which just displays a number), and I've downloaded all the updates etc. restarted the site... I've deployed the AdobeUpdater.overrides file to the client, but when I try updating I get the following error:
The update server is not responding. The server might be offline
temporarily, or the Internet of firewall settings may be incorrect.
Please try again later. Error Code: U41M1C213
I've looked around online but can't see any reference to this issue.
When I remove the AdobeUpdater.overrides file from the client and try updating again, it finds updates from Adobe, but fails when I put it back.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be extremely grateful... If any more information is needed, just ask.
Thanks,
Rick
(p.s. apologies if this isn't in the correct forum/board, there wasn't one for the update server)

Hi Ralph,
Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am experiencing a similar issue with the CS5.5 Design and Web Premium installation, failing while installing Illustrator 15.1 and rolling back the installation.

AUSST (Adobe Update Server) failing on clients with error U43M1D206

Hi,
I have a newly configured Adobe Update Server setup running on Windows 2008 Server R2 and IIS 7.
I have the web server configured as per the PDF document (AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool.pdf, pages 15 onwards).
My clients can successfully see the test xml document at this URL from a web browser:
http://myserver/Adobe/webfeed/oobe/aam10/mac/updaterfeed.xml
When I go to do updates from an Adobe CC app (Photoshop for example), the new updates show up in a list, but when I type in my password and attempt to update, the Adobe updater reports an error:
"Update Failed"
Updates could not be applied
The error log file may help you in identifying the problem. Then, try updating again. If the problems persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
The error log reads like this:
Adobe Photoshop 14.2.1
Some error occured during download. Please try again later. Error Code: U43M1D206
DPS Desktop Tools CS6 30.0.0 Update
Some error occured during download. Please try again later. Error Code: U43M1D206
DPS Desktop Tools CC 30.0.0 Update
Some error occured during download. Please try again later. Error Code: U43M1D206
Adobe ShareOnBehance 1.0.3
Some error occured during download. Please try again later. Error Code: U43M1D206
I've searched on the error code quoted above, and not found any useful information.
I'm wondering if there is an IIS server side set up issue that I'm not aware of.
Please help with any possible suggestion that I could attempt to get this working successfully as I've exhausted all possible thoughts of how to troubleshoot this further.
Many thanks.

I have the same problem, any sollutions?

What are the recommended technical specifications to setup the Adobe Update Server?

I am looking to setup the Adobe Update Server for all our Creative Cloud users. I would just like to confirm what the recommended technical specifications are if we were to build the server in a VM.

Thanks for the response Ralph but I am looking for a more personal experience someone may have managing 200+ Macs via the OS X server and what their specs are.

New installations not pulling from Adobe Update Server?

Hello,
I have an Adobe Update Server v3 running on a Mac 10.7.5 that is working fine for 5 Macs in our office.
This weekend I nuked one of the Macs and installed the OS fresh as the machine was having terrible crashing problems.
After installing the OS fresh and installing all OS updates, I
- downloaded the Creative Cloud App and installed it
- put the overrides file where it needs to go.
But all the Apps still pulled from Adobe's servers instead of our own. Is this by design? Is there something different I need to do for initial installations so I don't kill the internet bandwidth and my sanity waiting for the downloads to happen?
Thanks,
-John

Automate Terminal command for Adobe Update Server

Hi all,
I'm using and internal Adobe Server to distribute the applications updates to all the clients.
The internal server need to be updated via Terminal, using this command
sudo /Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Application\ Manager/CCP/utilities/AUSST/AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool --root="Volumes/Backup_Interno/AdobeServer" --incremetal
I would like to use Automator to launch this command every sunday at 8AM, possibly without manually insert the admin password.
Can someone help with this?
Thanks

Can the Adobe Update Server be used to automatically download and install updates?

Can the Adobe Update Server be used to download and install updates to Creative Cloud apps automatically without admin or user intervention?
I've noticed there is a Adobe Remote Update Manager, but I would rather all the updates and installs happen in the background.

Hi Nicholas,
Please check the link given:- https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/using-remote-update-manager.html
Let me know in case you require more detail on the topic.

Adobe update server addresses

Hi there, we are having issues with our corporate firewall, updating adobe creative suite 4 software via adobe update manager.
We have added one of the ip addreses already, but I notice the ip addresess change.
I wondered if I could have a complete list of adobe update server ip addresess, so we can make an exception within our firewall and mcafee hips protection exclusion.
Many thanks for any help!!

Hi Larzy,
You can find complete documentation regarding how to configure your firewall in the Documentation for CS4 available at : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html.

Adobe Update Server - help with HTTP service

Hi all,
Could anyone please help me out with the specifics for the HTTP server needed for the Adobe Update Server?
I'm reading the TechNotes PDF, though helpful for the updater server itself, it isn't really clear on the HTTP service part.
What url exactly? which rights? and so on...
Maybe someone could host a website on his OS X Server machine and make some screenshots for me?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
There is no specific requirement from the http server for setting up adobe update server using AUSST. It should be any up-and-running http server say Apache. URLs are automatically generated by AUSST in form of client configuration files, so you do not need to bother about the URLs as such. Similarly rights to the generated updater contents would also be automatically taken care by the tool itself. The only thing you need to figure out and tell the AUSST tool is the http based URL corresponding to the update server root that you are setting up. The latest documentation at http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/UpdateServerSetupTool_ TechNote.pdf has some troubleshooting steps that help you out with most common issues.
Thanks,

HOW TO: Your very own Adobe Update Server (Windows)

Well, I thought I'd contribute something after wasting time sifting through info on how to get this done. It's not a hard process at all, once the steps get organized correctly.
If you are reading this post, you most likely have already seen:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/update-server-setup-tool.html
Maybe you’ve seen the dry (read: hard to stay awake and boring) video Adobe has posted as well and yet here we are… I found the materials Adobe provided informative yet riddled with inconsistencies and scatter brained writing. This guide will get you to a working install with minimal pain and effort. I’m sure plenty of you have Mac’s that you’d like to get running as an update server. Good luck, we’re a pc shop and that’s what this guide is going to be on. You can still update Mac’s with a windows based server. Mac users that want to setup an update server on a Mac will have to try and endure that video.
I like complaining about things, so if you want the relevant info, I bolded it. If you need to change the command to fit your system, I highlighted the relevant section in red. You’re welcome.
Requirements:
Windows Operating System 64-bit (just so the file structure makes sense, if you are running 32-bit, that’s fine, but you’ll need to make the necessary changes to my write-up.)
The requirements for CPU, Memory, and hard-drive free space are minimal (My freshly sync’d update directory is only 30.2GB). I’m going to lean on the safe side and say leave a few hundred gigs free on the hard-drive. All you are doing is making a file store that can be accessed via http from your clients. Any modern day computer can be your host. Have hundreds of client computer that will be downloading from your update server? That’s up to you on how you will want to handle it. Do DNS load balancing across multiple update servers, deploy different override files to different groups of clients that point those groups of clients to different servers, or use sas drives and team multiple gigabit Ethernet ports. I’m sure you’ll figure something out to handle your particular situation. I am just going to focus on a simple step-by-step to get you on your way.
Step 1: Install Creative Cloud Packager
This was the first thing that wasn’t clear to me. I’m new to Creative Cloud for Teams. I have 20 computers and knew that updating would be an issue with our internet connection. I intuitively searched for a way to set up an update server and came across the article linked earlier. “Note: AUSST is available in the utilities folder of Adobe® Creative Cloud™ Packager installation.“ Oh, that’s nice. No link. No help on where to get it…
You can grab the download from your “Manage Your Team” control panel. It’s on the right side under “IT Deployment”. Download it, install it. This how-to isn’t about packages and how awesome they are for deployment or how to use them. So close the packager when you are done installing and move on to step 2.
Step 2: Create a root directory to store all of your updates.
I think it’s safe to assume that the root directory will only grow in size over time, so put it somewhere with a few hundred gigs of free space. The cloud is still young but I expect that amount to last you a while. To keep this easy, I created my directory as such: G:/CreativeCloudUpdate
Step 3: Run the AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool for the initial sync
Open up command prompt as an administrator and type the following:
cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities\AUSST"
AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool --root="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate" --fresh
When it is done updating, leave the command prompt up, you’ll need it again.
Step 4: Create the client config file
For whatever reason, the AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool can’t create a config folder. So you’ll have to make it yourself if you want this to work.
Go to G:/CreativeCloudUpdate and create a folder called config
Head back over to the command prompt and type the following:
AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool --genclientconf="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate/config/AdobeUpdaterClient" --root="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate/" --url=http://192.168.1.4/
If this worked, you should get something like the following:
“Generate Client Configuration XML chosen.
Files generated at specified path.”
Double check to make sure the files are generated inside the G:/CreativeCloudUpdate/config directory.
Step 5: Setup the Web Server
We’ll use Apache 2.2 for this setup. Yes, I am aware 2.4 is out, and 64-bit is available and that there are different web servers and and and. If you want to set something else up, go for it, be my guest, but you won’t find compile or update directions here. Also, if you want to use IIS, again, go for it. I didn’t find anything wrong with the directions in the very first link in this post. Remember, this guide is simplicity focused. I expect you to know how to keep your own network up to date.
ALLOW PORT 80 THROUGH WINDOWS FIREWALL OR ANY OTHER FIREWALL SOFTWARE YOU ARE RUNNING ON THE SERVER!
Download and install the following:
http://mirror.metrocast.net/apache//httpd/binaries/win32/httpd-2.2.25-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
You can keep all of the defaults during install.
Once installed, you’ll have a little feather and play button in your system tray. Double click on that to bring up the server monitor. STOP the process.
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf
Open up httpd in a text editor like notepad, you’ve got a little editing to do. Do a search and replace. You’ll want to find EVERY OCCURANCE of the following sentence:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs
And replace it with the following sentence:
G:/CreativeCloudUpdate
Save the file. Go back to the Apache server monitor and start the process.
Step 6: Setup the Clients
The file is located here: G:\CreativeCloudUpdate\config\AdobeUpdaterClient\win
And here: http://192.168.1.4/config/AdobeUpdaterClient/win
It is called: AdobeUpdater.OVERRIDES
And it needs to end up here on the client computers:
In Windows XP:
\Documents and Settings\All Users\ApplicationData\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0\AdobeUpdater.Overrides
In Windows 7/Vista:
\ProgramData\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0\AdobeUpdater.Overrides
In Mac OS X:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater/1.0/AdobeUpdater.Overrides
It is your choice concerning how to get the overrides file onto the client computer. THE BEST WAY is to include it in the package you deploy from the Creative Cloud Packager(not covered in this guide). If you already have Creative Cloud installed and want to start updating via the server you just setup: You could use group policy to deploy the file. If you only have a handful of computers, you could put it on by hand. You could script it. You could email it to all your users and tell them to place the file. Pick whatever you feel will work best for you in your environment.
IF you are just deploying the Creative Cloud in your environment and were smart enough to think ahead and setup the update server FIRST. Look up (If you have to, it’s really intuitive) how to use the package manager and make sure to change the package configuration to use this overrides file.
Step 7: Check for and download updated files to your update server
To manually do this, open up command prompt as an administrator and type the following:
cd "c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities\AUSST"
AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool --root="G:/CreativeCloudUpdate" --incremental
To do this automatically you need to make a scheduled task to run the command above. The only issue I have run into is the task does not seem to run unless you are logged into the server. If no-one is logged in, the task triggers, but an update never happens.
All in all, I am happy that there was a way to do this. I AM NOT HAPPY that Adobe made it an after thought. A system service would have been a very elegant solution or you know, a simple custom server app that does everything in this guide for you AND makes it easy to run the incremental updater on a schedule. But noooooo, they couldn’t be bothered to do that, I mean really, who wants their own update server anyways…

Hi,
in relation to on to the above could you please share some thoughts on using AUSST in an enterprise environment spread over 50 countries i relation how to setup the AUSST, taking WAN Lines into considerations. We are using SCCM for application deployment and patching. Is there a comparising model for AUSST vs. SCCM?
i Get the picture using AUSST in a company with one huge Building using the LAN capacity, but what technologies are used to replicate over WAN etc?

Adobe Update Server, force clients to install updates?

I was wondering if there is a unix command or similar that would force clients to grab available updates.
The software update server is a great idea, but it doesn't do much good if the user just doesn't bother upgrading. It's not really something that should be left up to the user in an enterprise environment, either. I really couldn't find any documentation on this in the update server guide.

There is no unix command to force the updates as such.You may download, package and force push the updates manually to the client machines using any SCCM/ARD setup.
Thanks,
Manju

Adobe Update Server Setup Tool on Windows Server 2012 and IIS 8 ?

can you help me install and configure my internal AUSST on the new server OS provided by Microsoft (Windows Server 2012)?
What should be the parameters required (or mandatory) in IIS 8 (ISAPI Filters, etc ...) ?
What parameters in the installation of IIS should be chosen?
What are the steps necessary to implement this new operating system?

Our enterprise also uses an authenticated proxy, so I've been banging my head to get this working!
I'm surprise to learn of this proxy oversight! This tool has "enterprise" all over the documentation (e.g. AAMEE?). There's good likelihood that other enterprises (still) have proxies in place. Makes me wonder if the CreativeCloud architects had this same proxy-ignorant oversite?
@Abhishek
Can you pass this request onto Jody Rogers or Karl Gibson (or whomever "owns" Adobe Enterprise Deployment products)?
I can pass the following curl switches and get out of our authenticated proxy; why can't you make AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0 honor these curl options?
[Note: this example assumes Mac OS X or other Unix-y OSes]
curl --proxy myproxy.domain.com:port --proxy-user ADserviceAccount http://swupmf.adobe.com/webfeed/oobe/aam10/win/updaterfeed.xml
BTW: why does "mac" in xml feed return so much more info?
curl --proxy myproxy.domain.com:port --proxy-user ADserviceAccount http://swupmf.adobe.com/webfeed/oobe/aam10/mac/updaterfeed.xml
