Using SCCM 2007 to deploy Adobe Flash Updates

Posted: 4th April 2011 by Seth in SCCM
 
Here’s some instructions for updating staff computers to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007. These steps will allow you to silently deploy Flash and then I’ll cover how to disable automatic updates so users aren’t prompted when a new version is available.
1) Go to http://www.adobe.com/products/players/fpsh_distribution1.html and apply to distribute Flash Player
2) Once approved, follow the link to download the appropriate .msi file
3) On your SCCM server setup your software distribution package according to your environment.  As far as program parameters, make sure you specify the /qn switch for a quiet unattended installation
4) To disable future updates, navigate to %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Macromed\Flash and create a file called mms.cfg.  Inside this text file including the following line: AutoUpdateDisable=1
Going forward you can easily refresh the package as new versions are released.
  • First thing to check is if the advertisement was created with a mandatory schedule which hasn’t expired yet.
  • Select the package and launch the Manage Distribution Points wizard, select the option to Update Distribution Points and complete the wizard. Verify if the new version of the package and the updated files have reached the distribution point.
  • Now go to the advertisement and click the action to Rerun the advertisement.

If you have a blue screen on a ProLiant Server running Windows and you have Windows support with HP, or you want HP to determine if the blue screen is hardware related. It’s possible that the systems specialist who takes your call may request an HPS Report. Download Link http://update.external.hp.com/HPS/HPSreports/ Note that there are currently four different variants of the tool. 1.HPSRPT_Enhanced_v9.1.00-x86.EXE – ProLiant –x86 – Running Windows NT/2000/2003/2008 32bit 2.HPSRPT_Enhanced_v9.1.00-ia64.EXE – Integrety – Running Windows 2003/2008 64 bit Itanium 3.HPSRPT_Enhanced_v9.1.00-x64.EXE – AMD64/Intel EM64T or Intel64 – Running Windows 2003/2008 64 bit And finally.. 4.
