Just duplicate the 8.x section and change all the 8's to 9's.

 

To this adm file I added the following for the Launch Attachments
vulnerability that was recently addressed:

 

POLICY "Launch Reader 9.x"

KEYNAME "Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals"

EXPLAIN "Enable or Disable Launching Attachments in Acrobat Reader 9.x"

VALUENAME "bAllowOpenFile"

VALUEON NUMERIC 1

VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0

END POLICY

 

POLICY "Lock down Launch Reader 9.x"

KEYNAME "Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals"

EXPLAIN "Enable or Disable User Changes to Launch Attachments in Acrobat
Reader 9.x"

VALUENAME "bSecureOpenFile"

VALUEON NUMERIC 1

VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0

END POLICY

I've used this adm file with GPOs with great success.  Yes, people could
probable re-enable through the GUI if they wanted.  But it get's unchecked
again via gpo refresh.

The one I found on the web and pasted below is missing the pref for 9.x
Please advise.

Well locking the registry perms was effective and had no immediately obvios
side-effects on Acrobat Reader's function.  I'm not sure if that will hold
true through updates and patches though.  

 

The process gets kind of ugly considering we are dealing with HKCU too.  I
can have the users run a script to lock themselves out of the reg key, but
undoing it is a nightmare of finding the all the correct ids on the computer
for all the users and changing the perms in the HKU tree.  Much easier to
give away than to take back it seems.

 

Somehow, I think its best to persue another strategy.

Would be interested in the results. As Brian pointed out, the Reader
might not enjoy having its "private parts" locked ;-)

Shamefully, I never thought of locking down the perms on the reg key.  I'll
monkey with that and post back with my results.

   Have you tried changing the permissions of the reg key?

       Okay, I've figured out how to disable the /launch feature in
       Acrobat Reader, and make it so users can't easily undo it.  But
       I can't for the life of me turn of jscript and make it sticky.
                [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat
Reader\9.0\JSPrefs]
       "bEnableJS"=dword:00000000
        will turn off javascript within Acrobat Reader, but the user
       can just turn it back on,  In fact if a java enabled document is
       opened, the user is prompted to enable it.
        Does anybody have a good strategy for keeping javascript
       disabled in Acrobat Reader?
        Thanks,
