Automatic updates for flash, acrobat, Java

[MobileGeeks]

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question, how would you go about an automatic way for users to be updated with latest updates from Acrobat/flash/Java on desktops.

My client has a Windows 2003 Domain controller.


THanks,

I use the Dell KBox/KAce Appliance with Windows Server 2008 R2 Domain Controllers.

you could also use ninite pro

Or you could create your own script: I believe all those programs have fixed download links available so you could use wget to download the setup packages, and all of them have silent install parameters so you could take advantages of that too

What if the user doesn't have local admin rights? This is the one thats been puzzling me for the longest, and I'd prefer not to pay for licensing on MSP software if we don't need it. Happen to have a script handy that we can take a look at?

I created a tool for myself to use during computer repairs which updates flash:

Currently it prompts the user to ensure all browsers are closed - you could automate this and just kill all the browser processes if you wished. It also pauses on finish to show you it's completed - you may want to get rid of that too. If using it on workstations you may also want to hide it from the users screen, they are vbs scripts you could invoke which will hide the cmd window.

Thanks so much for the replys, sorry im late.

I ended up rewriting the login script, its a pain in the ass but the client didnt want to spend much.


THanks heaps for the good suggestions.
