This is a problem we have. We have a banking app that is very Java version specific, and we have to run it at a lower patch level or it won’t run at all. Unfortunately the business is highly reliant on it.
This app is provide by one of the biggest UK banks, and even they cannot keep the application up to date ☹ Gavin Wilby IT Support Engineer From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Rankin Sent: 16 November 2015 14:27 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Blocking Java, Google, Adobe automagic updaters Unfortunately there are myriad apps out there that either a) won’t work, or b) won’t be supported by their half-assed vendors on the latest version of Java Browsium and FSLogix both have solutions that can run specific Java versions for specific URLs or web apps. Neither of these products would exist if the vendors of these awful Java apps got their collective fingers out.

If you've got Internet-connected PCs running these applications, you're just asking to get bitten if you don't keep them up to date. A managed strategy with reporting is best, but auto-updating is better than nothing (and certainly better than willfully keeping them out of date.) </> On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 8:57 AM, David McSpadden <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I have put in place the GPO’s for these but apparently I don’t have the right settings.
