VBS Script to update Acrobat via SCCM (SMS)

I posted this on the wrong forum so I was sent over here...
Good day everyone. So I found the following script and have tested it manually on a computer of computers, but somewhat failes via SCCM:

As you can see, I am locating all different versions and then installing the correct patch. When I run it manually it works just fine, but via SCCM it updates some but not with all patches, just some patches. Any idea what is wrong? Thanks

Not possible to update Acrobat

I installed Acrobat XI through Adobe Creative Cloud Packager.
Unfortunately, with the option that the user is not able to update the Creative Cloud programs.
For InDesign and Photoshop could be solved by creating a new package with the proper permission.
But it did not solve the problem for Acrobat.
What can I do to give the user the ability to update Acrobat via Adobe Update.

You didn't say much about your system specs besides the HD space you have.
What version of OS X are you using?
What model of Mac are you using (including time period it was built)?
Processors/Processor speed/Processor brand?
Which CS3 suite are you using? Is this a problem for people who use CS4 or CS5?
I'm a windows user but I do have a Mac and downloaded a trial version of CS5 Master Collection to compare. My license has since expired but I did use the updater a couple of times. Since I didn't use the suite very often it is hard to tell whether the updater caused any problems.

Trying to deploy a VB Script via sccm 2012 R2

Hello All
This is my first attempt at deploying a script via SCCM 2012 R2 and I seem to be stuck. Essentially what this script does is map a printer. The script on its own works fine. Meaning it works when I double click it and also running it from the command
line. Its when I try to use in sccm things go down hill. I have tried the following from the command line in the package properties.
\\my-sccm-server\Sources\Applications\VBSripts\cscript.exe Impact.vbs
\\my-sccm-server\Sources\Applications\VBSripts\Impact.vbs
Phil Balderos

looks good :)
You can check execmgr.log on the client to monitor the install as it is running.
Thank Richk,
Still no luck. Here is the output from execmgr.log. Its saying that is completed but nothing ever happens. I am about ready to throw in the towel on this one but I just feel like that is should work because its such a simple script.
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\srv-gtt-papercut\followme"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\srv-gtt-papercut\followme"
Phil Balderos
Is the script running as an Admin ,if so then you likely set the printer up for the local system user account and not anyone else.

Load an Advanced Print Setting in Acrobat via Java-Script

Hi there,
I'd like to know, if there's a way to load an advanced print setting in the Acrobat via Java Script or some other way? (See Screenshot)
Or is it possible to set an created setting as default-setting? (also via Java or something)
Or can somebody tell me, where these created print settings are saved? (in Acrobat X)
Thank you very much for your help and sorry for my english, I hope you understand me. :-)
Kind regards
Mankro

Why wouldn't you want to set itas part of an input/output parameter?
This is really the right way ofdoing this. Otherwise you'll end up with hardcoded variable name in your customcomponent and that not ideal.
If you're trying to define a default value for it coming from a properties file, you can just make it a "Configuration" variable and set the value from adminui.

SCCM VBS Script Program Package Deployment

I'm trying to get this VBS script to run from a package to run but its not working as planned.
It works fine from an Administrator command propmt locally, but not as an sccm package/program.
Its a script to remove a SCOM management group. No matter what I try this doesn't run remotely. Even with administrative rights configured. Runs fine locally as administrator. Any ideas? Using a command line program of "cscript removescom.vbs"
Option Explicit
Dim objMSConfig
Set objMSConfig = CreateObject("AgentConfigManager.MgmtSvcCfg")
Call objMSConfig.RemoveManagementGroup ("SCOMManagementGroupNameHere")

This could also be a permissions issue. When you deploy a package with ConfigMgr, it runs as SYSTEM, which may not have SCOM rights.
You can easily test this by running your script manually with psexec -s
to emulate running as SYSTEM account.

Deploying Lync 2010 client via SCCM

I am trying to distribute the new Lync client via SCCM (SCCM is not the problem here, this related to any software distribution product).
I am getting frustrated at the way the new client has been packaged - LyncSetupEval.exe in particular. Why can't Microsoft provide a simple MSI file?
I can run the LyncSetupEval.exe file with /Install /Silent, but this managed to crash OUTLOOK.exe when it runs. Also when it completes, it automatically starts communicator.exe in the SYSTEM context, meaning that unless you restart your machine, you
cannot run the Lync client in the user context.
Is anyone else having the same frustrations? I've played around with the files in the OCSetup directory, but there are of no use.

Hi Ryan,
Happy to share. I do a simple messy batch file / VB Script combination like this:
@echo off
ECHO Set wshShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" ) >> usermessages.vbs
echo wshShell.Popup "The Microsoft Lync 2010 client is about to be installed. Please close Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer before clicking OK to continue.", 300, "Microsoft Lync 2010 installation" >> usermessages.vbs
ECHO WScript.Sleep(5000) >> usermessages.vbs
WSCRIPT.EXE usermessages.vbs
DEL usermessages.vbs /q
ECHO Installing Microsoft Lync 2010...
taskkill /F /IM communicator.exe
taskkill /F /IM outlook.exe
taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe
LyncSetup.exe /Install /Silent
taskkill /F /IM communicator.exe
msiexec.exe /p OUTLOOK.msp /qb-!
office2007-kb936864-fullfile-x86-en-us.exe /passive /norestart
msiexec.exe /update Lync.msp /qb-!
ECHO Set wshShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" ) >> usermessages.vbs
echo wshShell.Popup "The Microsoft Lync 2010 client installation was successful and can now be run from the Start Menu.", 300, "Microsoft Lync 2010 installation" >> usermessages.vbs
WSCRIPT.EXE usermessages.vbs
DEL usermessages.vbs /q
I'm sure it could be a lot nicer, there is no error passing or anything but it has served me well.

Silent install of Photoshop Elements 10 via SCCM fails

Hi all, hoping someone can help. I'm trying to push out deployment of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 via SCCM. From Adobe's site I found details on adding an XML file to preconfigure various default settings and perform a silent install. I can push out
the package to my test PC's cache folder no problem, but the advertisement fails with "Failed (bad environment)" message ID 10003. The system cannot find the file specified."
However, I can install the program manually, running the same code from the command line. So, on my test PC, if I go to c:\windows\system32\cache\(package) from the command line, I can type the following "start /wait Setup.exe /UL1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"
(as per Adobe's instructions) and Photoshop Elements 10 will silently install just fine.
I've read elsewhere that SCCM can have issues with server paths and making use of the %~dp0 variable but I'm unsure if that applies here. In SCCM, in the program properties for PE10, the drive mode is set to "Runs with UNC name." I tried changing to 'requires
drive letter" but it still failed. I'm guessing I'm dealing with some sort of environment issue but I'm stuck as to how to fix. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Sir_Timbit

I used "start /wait" as that was what was listed on Adobe's silent install instructions at http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/silent-install-instructions-photoshop-elements-1.html
Again, it installs fine manually, *if* I point a command prompt to c:\windows\system32\ccm\cache\(cache folder)\ and run the start /wait setup.exe line below. But through SCCM, the advertisement report shows:
Message ID:10003. Failed (bad environment)
An error occurred while preparing to run the program for advertisement "ABC20074" ("ABC00041" - "Install Photoshop Elements 10"). The operating system reported error -2147024894: The system cannot find the file specified. Additional program properties: Command
line: start /wait Setup.exe /UL1033 /V"SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" Working directory: Drive letter (? = any): Possible cause: This message most commonly occurs when the program's command-line executable file could not be found, when a required
drive letter connection to a distribution point could not be established, or when the program is configured to use the SMS Software Installation Account but the account is not specified, could not be found, or does not have the appropriate permissions. Solution:
Check each of the items listed above.
Execmgr.log on the client shows the following:

Installing SAPgui 720 using Microsoft SCCM (sms)

Microsoft System Center Config Manager.
On workstations that we installed the SAPgui update using MS SCCM 2007 we are not able to uninstall sapgui.
SAP has recommended that we use SAPgui installation server to install the updates (instead of a tool such as SCCM).
Please let me know if you have used MS SCCM (config manager) 2007 to install SAPgui 720, and if so, are you able to uninstall the sapgui from the control panel sucesfully?
Thanks.

Hello,
We have a problem on deployment with SCCM/SMS centralized mode about the spalogon.ini file location :
We are preparing a deployment package to deploy SAPGUI v7.20 centralized and silent mode by SCCM on XP AND Windows 7.
This deployment should be accompanied by the deployment of customized saplogon.ini to give the path to the production server.
Currently, we encounter on Windows 7, the problem of the location of the saplogon.ini in a directory that allows use by all users who connect to the station.
As we have packaged for the moment, the installation is done via a user type admin, saplogon.ini is placed in a file specific to the user (on windows 7, it is a directory type X : \ Users \ <UserName> \ AppData \ Roaming \ SAP \ Common).
So, the user need manually reconfigure its SAP GUI session to point to the production server.
What we want is that the installation package performs all the operations:
* Installation of SAP GUI (that it works)
* Deposit of saplogon.ini in a directory accessible by any user connecting to the position
* Configuration of SAP GUI for that point on the saplogon.ini.
As sayed before, this installation package must be used both in Windows XP on Windows 7.
Thank you for your help
PS : We will try the Jose Pietri’s solution up and tell you if its works.

Updating Acrobat X when Office-Apps are running

We want to update our clients, which already have installed an older version of Acrobat Professional 9.x with ADOBE Acrobat Professional X (10.1.0). This action must run silent with no user interaction.
I have written a script which kills all running processes using acrobat.exe and close all open PDF-files, also in IE. Then the Acrobat-MSI is started using a customized MST (including Serialnumber) with the parameter /qn. This script is mandatory launched by SCCM where the program-option “Allow users to interact with this program” is NOT set.
If a Office-application like PowerPoint or Word (with the Acrobat Plug-in) is running, the script fails (with 9.x of Acrobat the same worked fine and without any errors…).
Any ideas how to silent update an existing installation of Acrobat with Acrobat X when Office-Apps are open (won’t kill them)?

Hi Vinod
Thank's very much for your answer. In the meantime I found the article
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/868930?tstart=0
too. It's pity that's no more possible to do a silent install of Acrobat even Office Apps.are running. Therefore I have to kill all of them and to disturbe all users by there daily work.

Is it possible to read the contents of an Excel cell in DIAdem and assign its value to a variable in a VBS script.

Hi All,
Initially I thought this little problem would be relatively straight forward but now I’m not so sure. I am familiar with the mechanism by which DIAdem communicates with Excel and how to change the contents of a cell via a VBS script. In my task the contents of the cell in the first row, first column of MyProblem.xls contains the text “DIAdem”. I would like to be able to read this value and assign it to the variable MyString. I originally thought of doing something simple like this:
Dim MyString
Dim Excel, ExcelSheet
Set Excel = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)
Excel.Workbooks.Open(“C\MyProblem.xls”)
Set ExcelSheet = Excel.Workbooks(“MyProblem.xls”).Sheets(“Sheet1”)
MyString = ExcelSheet.Cells(1,1)
At this point I would have hoped that MyString would have been set equal to “DIAdem” and I could have used MyString to change the name of a channel in the data portal if I desired using the following code:
Data.Root.ChannelGroups(1).Channels(1).Name = MyString
Doesn’t seem to work though. I’m guessing it is because MyString has not picked up the value of the contents of the cell? Can anybody propose a solution to my problem or indeed confirm whether what I am proposing to do is technically feasible.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hi Matthew,
Just staring at your ActiveX code, it looks fine to me. My first thought is that this should work as you outlined it, and I've done this sort of thing many times, so I know it can work. My second thought though, is that what you probably really want is a DataPlugin and not a VBScript. Then you could just drag&drop the Excel file into the Data Portal and load all the properties and channels you want from the Excel file. If you have DIAdem 2010 or later you can use the SpreadSheet reader object in the DataPlugin to avoid the Excel ActiveX functions (and Excel's jealously with other applications trying to read a file it has open already).
Feel free to send me a few sample Excel files and describe what you want to load from the various cells, and I'd be happy to help you get a DataPlugin written to load your data. You can also email me at [email protected]

Cannot update Acrobat Pro to 9.3.2 from 9.3.1

I am attempting to update Acrobat Pro to 9.3.2 from 9.3.1. Downloading the update, I am met with this:
The patch has failed because the application has been modified since it was originally installed (for example, plug-ins may have been disabled).
Please go to the Adobe support website for more information regarding how to re-enable disabled components prior to installing the patch. Or, you can uninstall and reinstall the application, and then reinstall the patch.
Where do I find this "information" on the Adobe website? If Vague is an island, Abobe must be on it.
Any solutions others have found?
Uninstall and reinstall is a solution? Been down this road 16 months ago and it was a full afternoon on the phone with tech support in India. If this is the only solution offered, I am fine at the current crap unsafe version from Adobe. Unless of course Adobe is prepared to pay me for my time.

I am a sys admin and have always had problems with Acrobat for many many year. I have spent 3 hours on the phone with tech support. Pushed out a new build with nothing else on except the base OS and still fails in the update and tried everything and yes im not a standard user, this is my job i build macs day in day out in 30 minutes flat, scripting, packaging the lot.
You can see in the log it tries to download an update with an incorrect url http:/ when it should be http:// this is really terrible and just shows there is no UAT at all. Yesterday another tech support just told me for another full suite that just dragging the apps to the Trash is a normal uninstall method. The tech support guy today told me Acrobat comes with all CS5 product but thats incorrect because it doesn't come with Production Premium!
Adobe i believe your Acrobat team is separate from other teams and i understand why you have had to break it off from the suite but come on this has been going on for so many years now its beyond a joke. You should fix it once and for all or at least get version x working with combined updaters like other vendor and offer free upgrades from 9 to 10.
What is the point going on about all these extra features and security fixes if no one can even update the product! Spend hours on the phone with untrained staff with poor product knowledge and waste every ones time because i am a very experienced sys admin and get sick to death of Acrobat updates which rarely ever work!
Also the system requirements for the update only goes to OS 10.6.3 and even the latest 9.4.1 only goes to OS 10.6.4 So even if every one can some how get i working its not even going to work on a 10.6.5 OS... pathetic so stuck no one listening, tech support don't listen. We just need an alternative good competitor then i am not buying or dealing with Adobe ever again!

I just updated Acrobat Pro and now I am unable rotate and save .PDFs - Help!

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I updated this via the Adobe site on Friday. Now I am unable to do two very important editing tasks that I was previously able to do. I am unable to rotate individual pdf pages within a larger set. I am also unable to rotate a pdf sheet and save it. Please help!

I uninstalled the update completely and reinstalled 9 Pro. I don't remember the version number of the update. I updated it on Friday so I assume it was whichever is the latest.
I am unable to save the file after I rotate the sheet. I can do a save-as, but it does not save the sheet as I rotated it. I am also unable to select and rotate an individual sheet within a larger set.

Lync 2013 x64 silent client deployment via SCCM 2012 SP1

Greetings everyone!
I ran into a problem with Lync 2013 x64 silent deployment.
I need to provide every workstation with Lync 2013 client, so i decided to use deployment via SCCM 2012 sp1.
I created 2 msp files with OCT, one based on x86 Office 2013 Proplus, and other based on x64 Office 2013 Proplus.
Added them as applications to sccm software library.
Deployment of Lync 2013 x86 application was a success with over than 80% compliance.
But all Lync 2013 x64 automatic installations finish with different errors.
I created special device collection for workstations with office 2010 x64 and 2013 x64, because i can't install other architecture products once it has x64 product installed.
My membership query-rules for this collection:
Office 2013 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90150000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
Office 2010 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90140000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
My application deployment type points to setup.exe in office 2013 x64 installation folder, where i created msp file in updates folder via OCT and edited config.xml file in proplus.ww folder.
So my installation program looks like this setup.exe /adminfile updates\1lync.msp /config proplus.ww\config.xml
The same configuration works with Lync 2013 x86 deployment, except other setup folders.
When i try running installation program setup.exe with /adminfile and /config parameters locally, it installs successfully without errors or warnings.
I'm trying to find out problem source, does anyone have ideas what I am doing wrong?
Also i'm trying to reduce office 2013 installation folder size, what subfolders are necessary for Office 2013 proplus installation (still installing only lync with common files and tools)? Because now 3.5 GB package is quite hard to distribute to sccm secondary
sites with deployment point.
Thanks in advance.
