Deploying Adobe Reader Updates Using SCCM 2012 R2 – In this post we will look at the steps for
deploying adobe reader updates using SCCM 2012 R2. Adobe reader updates are available as .msp files
and we will learn how to deploy the same using SCCM 2012 R2. One of the recommended ways to deploy
third-party software updates is by using
System Center Updates Publisher (SCUP).
System Center Updates
Publisher (SCUP) is a stand-alone tool that is used in conjunction with Microsoft’s System Center
Configuration Manager to allow administrators to more accurately and efficiently install and update software.
However in this post we will do it in simpler way i.e. by creating an update package and deploying it the
collections which already have the software installed.
First we will create a package for Adobe Reader 11.0.02 and deploy it to a collection. If you know how to
create a package and deploy you can skip the below step. In the SCCM console, click on
Software Library,
click
Application Management.
Right click on
Packages
and click
Create Package.
Provide the
Name,
Source Folder
for the package and click
Next.

Complete the
Create Package and Program Wizard
and click
Close.
The next step is to distribute the
Adobe Reader Program to the distribution point and deploy it to the collection. To distribute the program,
right click on the program and click
Distribute Content,
follow the wizard and wait till the content status
color shows green. After that right click the program and deploy it to the collection.

After you have deployed the Adobe Reader software to the collections, the next step is deploying adobe
reader updates using SCCM 2012 R2. In the above example we had deployed Adobe Reader 11.0.02 to
client systems, now what if there is a new version of Adobe Reader?.
We have the latest version of
Adobe reader 11.0.06
which can be downloaded from
here.
But since you
have already deployed Adobe Reader 11.0.02 to the client systems it makes no sense to deploy 11.0.06
over it again. So we will now deploy only the update patch which will update Adobe Reader 11.0.02 to
11.0.06.
Download the latest version of Adobe Reader from
here
and extract the executable using the command line
AdbeRdr11006_en_US.exe -nos_o”E:\Sources\Applications\Adobe_11″ -nos_ne
(where
AdbeRdr11006_en_US.exe
is the executable name,
E:\Sources\Applications\Adobe_11
is the path were
the executable is stored).
