Any requirements?  Like reboots, or browsers need to be closed? Have to 
uninstall previous version first?

These seem to be the challenges around flash…

I always used the exe instead of the msi. No need to create mms.cfg, 100% 
success rate.
Command line:  install_flash_player_xx_active_x.exe -install -au 2 (au 2=all 
updates disabled)

Are you patching both plug-in and activex browsers? I suspect that Adobe's 
rules are not correct and machines are trying to install both plugin and 
activex when they don't all actually need both. I've messed around some with 
PatchMyPC catalog but honestly I just haven't had time to try to figure out 
what the deal is. Once I get all my computers reimaged over the next couple 
months I'm going to spend some time on this.

50% failure?  wow--flashplayer via SCUP for us isn't an issue at all.  Seems to 
work just fine.

Wow, I use SCUP via Shavlik along with SCCM 2007 and I am nearly 100% on 3000

I use SCUP for Adobe flash updates. I get at least 50% failure rate each month. 
I hate Adobe!

Subject: [mssms] Adobe Updates and SCUP question

Currently we are poised to use Secunia for Adobe updates, but because they have 
no uninstall or upgrade feature because the vendor does not, I was wondering if 
anyone uses SCUP for Adobe updates (Flash, Reader, Shockwave) and are able to 
update these products without having to run an uninstaller first, then reboot 
then install the latest version.

We use SCCM 2012 R2 now, and I could just create a package that includes 
running the Flash uninstaller first then run the latest installer created by 
Secunia and then copy over the proper mms.cfg file, but I was hoping for a more 
automated feature. I know Adobe does not make their products fun or easy.

I believe I read that using the Adobe MSI does in fact uninstall flash as part 
of it’s install…


Thanks,

Kevin Johnston
