Hello everybody,
after setting up an Adobe Update Server that works fine with updates for CS6,I would like to use this update server for additional Adobe software like Flash Player and Reader.
I think I made every steps as mentioned in the administration guide of flash player: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/f lashplayer/pdfs/flash_player_11_6_admin_guide.pdf
Which means:
I can access the URL: "http://SERVERNAME/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/" with its 3 *.z files (install_all_mac_pl_sgn.z,install_all_win_ax_sgn.z,install_all_win_pl _sgn.z) and "http://SERVERNAME/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/" that contains the version.xml-file.
I've also added the mms.cfg file with UTF-8 and the content:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=SERVERNAME
SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
Unfortunately there aren't any updates for my test-client.I read something that with these options the "Update Section" in the "Advanced"-tab should be greyed out, but it isn't.And if I'm going to click "Check now" my browser is opening the Adobe homepage.
The problem is that we can't use any WSUS for this scenario.So we have to deploy the mms.cfg-file by copying it to the clients manually (maybe via batch-file later).
That's the first problem.
The second one is that we would like to update the Adobe Reader via the same update server.But I didn't find any guide on how to solve this.
Following information regarding our scenario:
AUSST is running on a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2 with IIS6
Created a new website "Adobe Update Server" and added the handlers for xml,sig,crl,dmg (I had to remove the handler for zip after having problems with it) and added these handlers in the <httpheader>-Section of the webconfig.
Created a new folder with the structure: pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/ install and xml.
Installed Flash Player 11.3 on my test-client
Allowed extensions: All unknown ISAPI-extensions,Active Server Pages,ASP.NET v1.1.4322,ASP.NET v2.0.50727,Front Page Server Extensions 2002,Serversided includes (SSI),WebDAV
I know that I maybe allowed too much extensions because my knowledge with Server 2003 isn't that well.
Sorry for my bad english,I've also tried to open a discussion in the german section but there wasn't any reply yet.
It would be great if there is anybody who could help me with my problems because this features are some kind of "must-have" and I would like to take this big step.
I appreciate every help and post in this discussion as I'm kinda stuck with these problems.
kind regards
