Software Restriction Policy - Creative Cloud Update

Hi there,
We run very restrictive "Software Restriction Policy" or SRP in our environment. Creative Cloud updater program isn't able to run because it is prevented by SRP.
User launches "Creative Cloud" updater program and attempt to login using their credentials but get signed out right away because, what i assume they have no administrative priviledges.
Any idea which local path needs to be whitelisted in order for adobe updater program to run?
Thank you,

Hi Cesare,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
The following host/port combinations may need to be whitelisted when logging in with an Adobe ID to download, install, and activate licensing for applications via a Creative Cloud membership.
*.adobe.com:443
*.adobelogin.com:443
You can opt for CC package & deploy it.

Why is the download speed for Creative Cloud updates and initial software installation so slow?

Why is the download process for Adobe Creative Cloud updates and initial installations so slow? I can download and update other software from other providers almost an order of magnitude faster. This slow download problem has been present since I started using Creative Cloud soon after it was initially offered.
Adobe customer support maintains that there is no throttling at Adobe's end, and that no one has complained about this problem -- this forum shows the latter not to be true.
What is the problem?

Hi ErstwhileCreative,
I don't think I've ever checked the download speed but the installers are definitely large files, many several GB. It might seem longer because the download immediately progresses into the installation at 50%

Firefox 8.0.1 bypasses Windows software restriction policy and Windows UAC

With the release of Firefox 8.0.1, Firefox bypasses Windows Software Restriction Policy (SRP).
With Firefox 8.0.0 - (and previous), Firefox conformed to the policy set forth in SRP.
In addition to the fact that Firefox completely ignores Windows SRP, Firefox also ignores Windows User Account Control. Standard, non-admin, accounts are able to install Firefox without administrative privileges. When the user executes the Firefox installer, Windows UAC prompts the user to elevate to install the program. If the user clicks "no" the Firefox installer continues past UAC and installs the program in the user's %appdata%\local folder instead of the %programfiles% (if the user were to elevate). Any other program would have ceased the installation if not elevated.
I haven't seen any other software ignore SRP and continue to run and/or bypass UAC and continue to install.
Please advise on what software policy needs to be in place to prevent Firefox from being installed and ran on my domain.

UAC prevents software from making system-wide changes without an administrator's consent. It's purpose isn't for IT staff to control which software may run, though most installers try to make their software available to all users on the computer.
Are you checking the hash of the installer instead of the executable? Firefox get's updated frequently enough that maintaining hashes will be a lot of work.
I haven't tried this, but perhaps populating user profile folders with a read-only path will cause the Firefox installer to fail. You'll also need to consider [http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable portable firefox]

Perpetual license and creative cloud update popup window

I initially downloaded a 30 day free trial of lightroom from Adobe website which I guess is from the "cloud". I since have purchased a perpetual license that used a new serial #. When I log into my computer I keep getting an annoying creative cloud update window saying there is an update. Is this update window only for creative cloud downloaded software and not perpetual license owners? If it is, how do I disable or remove this annoying cloud update pop up feature from my Mac.

Hi Loveppro11,
Please let us know the version of Mac you are using.
Naviagte to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers and uninstall Creative cloud.
Run the Adobe Cleaner to remove any leftover ruminants: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
Download and Install CC desktop from:https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud .
If still the same issue then enable root account and check whether its working there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11331 .

Unable to install Creative Cloud Updates

Adobe Illustrator CS6 Update (version 16.2.0)
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1P34
DW CS6 12.1.1 Creative Cloud update
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1P34
Photoshop Camera Raw 7.3
There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1P34
That enough information? After chasing around the Adobe Help system for an hour and a half today and not being able to contact anyone at all yesterday when this forst started occuring, I'm kinda getting annoyed
Then getting on here and finding that my screen name (my own name, registered with Adobe and on the forums) isn't available, one could be excused for an excess of peevishness, I hope.

I finally found a solution that worked!
I had to find the adobe logs to understand what happened, and found this error "information not found in Media_db".
Here's the location of the solution: Re: Getting fatal Exit Code 34 when installing an app
And here's the answer copied and pasted from the page. I have windows 8 64 bit, but this solution worked for me. The downside was that it said many of my applications weren't installed in the CC app, so I had to hit reinstall on many of them, but everything installed and updated correctly after this.
I had the very same problem, and I am using windows 7 too. After chat with the adobe tech support. He showed me how to fix the problem.
Also, I tried the clean tool already. That didn't help.
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe if you use 32bit system I think it would be C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
Change 3 folder name.
Adobe PCD -> Adobe PCDold
backup -> backupold
caps -> capsold
Then run the setup file again.
This method worked for me. Hope that would work for you also and save you some time.

Creative Cloud update to version 2.7.1.418 killed my Windows 8.1 system!

Earlier tonight, I saw the balloon from Creative Cloud stating that an update was available. So I installed it. Half-way during the installation, my windows desktop disappeared.
I started the task manager and restarted "Explorer.exe". That made the background reappear, but the taskbar was blank with just the lone Windows 8.1 icon on the very left. Hovering over the taskbar showed the wait cursor.
The task manager showed everything was running normally but the desktop was clearly broken. I checked the directories and everything was as expected.
So I held my breath and rebooted. After logging in, the desktop slowly appeared over about 10 minutes, but all the desktop icons were still missing, as were the taskbar icons. Only a few of the notification icons appeared.
I then managed to bring up a command window with the task manager (fortunately, Ctrl+Alt+Esc still worked) and launched System Restore (rstrui.exe). It showed me the Adobe Creative Cloud was the most recent restore point (below); the previous restore point after that was a Microsoft Windows update from 2 days ago. When I asked for the list of files that were affected by the Creative Cloud update and would be reverted, it showed this:
I again held my breath and restored my machine to before the above CC update; after about 20 minutes of shucking and jiving and a reboot, everything was working properly again.
So there is clearly something out of kilter with this latest update. Adobe the Time Vampire has once again stolen 2 hours of my life, but this time, at least it wasn't a license server issue. I think.

Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required. I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud. Now I get the famous white screen:
It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now).
Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work. I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

How to apply Software Restriction policy for specific user in local group policy object ?

I am working on implementing user based software restriction policy programmatically for local group policy object.
If i create a policy through Domain Controller,i do have option for software restriction policy in user configuration but in local group policy editor i don't have option for that.
When i look for the changes made by policy applied from Domain Controller in registry, they modifies registry values for specific users on path HKEY_USERS\(SID of User)\Softwares\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\Codeidentifiers
They also have registry.pol stored in SYSvol folder in Domain Controller. When i make the same changes in registry to block any other application, application is getting blocked.
I achieved what i wanted but is it right to modify registry values ?
PS:- I am using Igrouppolicyobject API

I achieved what I wanted but is it right to modify registry values ?
You also can modify a registry programmatically based policy. Check this:

Creative Cloud Update

Creative Cloud Update made it disappear and never came back tried other downloads etc. etc. but nothing even my add/remove programs had a blank icon for it and said it was gone and deleted the icon
!

Hi elfelm,
We ask windows to reload explorer during update to load our latest dll. Sometimes, windows does quit the explorer but for some reason fails to start the explorer again. A simple workaround would be to press Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys simultaneously. This should launch task manager. Click on File and then New task. Type in explorer and press enter. This should run explorer again. Alternatively do a hard reboot of the system.

Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall

Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall. The IT guys have opened up the ports and URL's specified in the Adobe documentation. I have also captured the network traffic of both the failed and successful downloads for IT to examine (using Little Snitch), however they can find nothing to account for the problem. Adobe just seems to "give up and die" after about 2-3 minutes. Why is this? How can I or IT fix this?
Can I send the above log files to someone familiar with these issues for examination?

Hi Gveo,
Please follow the article: Creative Cloud Help | About Creative Cloud Packager which will help you to get your issue fixed.

Is there any software in Adobe Creative Cloud which will let me generate barcodes?

Hi
Is there any software in Adobe Creative Cloud which will let me generate barcodes?

- Do I have 40 10-second clips each with 1.9 GB of unwanted video behind it??
Not to worry. When we Copy and Paste within a project, iMovie HD creates a new clip thumbnail for the Timeline/Clips pane, then simply adds a new pointer to the source video. The source material is not duplicated.
When you Copy a clip and Paste a clip to a DIFFERENT project then Yes, the clip's entire source video file is duplicated. (When Copying between projects, be sure to Copy and Paste all the clips together so iMovie duplicates the source files just one time.)
Next time, you might consider setting your iMovie 6 preferences to limit the length of imported clips to 3 minutes — or whatever duration you want. Then each imported clip will have its own source file. When you discard an entire clip its file will be discarded too, shrinking the size of the project.
If you have no need to preserve the clips as clips you could export the project to a Full Quality movie that you import to a new project. Everything will arrive as a single clip, which may be okay here. Then discard your old project. The project will be smaller, containing just the stuff on the Timeline.
If the Timeline contains most of the source material — just split into small clips — there may not be a lot of "extra" material in the project. To get an estimate of how large the Timeline really is, open the "Timeline Movie.mov" that's inside the Cache folder of the project in QuickTime Player. QT Player's Show Movie Info window will show the size of the material it represents.

Windows Media Center - wont launch...due to Software Restriction Policy???

Current system:
Windows Vista x64 Ultimate RETAIL installed onto clean system.
UAC disabled
Using full administrator account w/ no restrictions
Problem:
Anytime I attempt to launch Windows Media Center or Media Center Extender I receive the following popup error and the program does not attempt to to even start:
Error:
[Windows Media Center
"Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. For more information contact your system administrator."
Summary:
When I initialy installed the OS, this problem did not exist. I was able to launch WMC just fine. Only after a couple month of reinstalling necessary base applications do I now get this error. My family cannot even use it as an extender for the XBOX360 anymore.
From what i can tell there are a lot of people with this issue and NO SOLUTION from MS as yet. I did see in one post that someone else had this error and was able to correct it by setting WMC as the default application in "Default Programs --> Set Program Access and Computer Defaults" This did not work for me at all. At this point I am at a complete loss. Any insight would be appreciated.

For Windows 8 here was the solution that FIXED it for us:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/set-program-access-computer-defaults
To start, open the Set Program access and computer defaults page:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then clickSearch.)
Enter control panel in the search box, and then tap or click Control
Panel.
Under View by:, select Large
Icons, and then tap or click Default Programs.
Tap or click Set program access and computer defaults.
Set program access
If you want to make a program inaccessible without uninstalling it, you can set it so it doesn't appear where programs are typically listed.
On the Set Program access and computer defaults page, under Choose
a configuration, tap or click Custom.
Clear the Enable access to this program check box next to the programs you want to make inaccessible,
and then tap or click OK.

When Creative Cloud updated a few days ago (Win7) it reported no installed apps. In Lightroom I keep getting messages that a new version is available. Installed it from CC and it installed without error, CC shows I installed it, but it simply fails to run

When Creative Cloud updated a few days ago (Win7) it reported I had no installed apps.
In Lightroom I keep getting messages that a new version is available. Installed it from CC and it installed without error, CC shows I installed it, but it simply fails to run.
How do I get CC to find apps installed under the previous version?
And how do I get Lightroom CC to run?
Peter

I still don't know how to get CC to find that I have Photoshop CC installed, but running Creative Cloud, going to Preferences and signing out, then signing in again got Lightroom CC to work.
Since Photoshop CC is still working despite apparently not being installed things are now OK, at least for the moment. But I'm not feeling at all happy with Adobe.
