Allow a standard user to install software designated as updates of Adobe reader with group policy

Hello

I have the users configured as standard users to prevent them from installing unapproved software.

This causes problems with products such as java and adobe reader running automatic updates.  We then get cranky users because they are prompted to install the update and approval from the administrator.

Is it possible with group policy to allow pre-approved software to install as update of adobe reader?

Thank you
Andrew Andrew

  • Allow domain Standard users to install fonts

    Hello

    Several Standard domain users who are designers of Grphic often obliged to install fonts. I wish to white list the program which actually installs the police using the Microsoft application compatibility tool. To this effect, I need to know what program actually installs the fonts so I can add this program to the whitelist of the UAC.

    Anyone know what program it is?

    Hi rainwater63,

    This problem may occur if there is an incorrect setting in one of the following registry subkeys:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
     
    Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756 How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

    Check the Microsoft KB article below which talks about a similar issue with Microsoft programs. You can give it a try and check if it works.

    You receive an "Error 1606" error message when you try to install or remove a program from Microsoft
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/886549
     
    If the step above does not resolve the issue, I would say that you install the Windows install cleanup, then run the cleanup utility from the start menu and then remove the entries for the software, and then restart the computer for the changes to take effect and now try to reinstall the software and check.

    I have a MacPro. Recently, my computer was wiped out. I lost all my software. I bought CS2 years ago. I've updated by buying CS5 a few years later. My CS software is automatically updated by Adobe several months ago. Now, when I need to reinstall my software I can not do. I need to reinstall CS2 before I reinstall my CS5 update. However, my computer accepts no more CS2 software. How can I return my software?

    I need to reinstall CS2 before I reinstall my CS5 update.

    It is not necessary. You need only to re - install the latest version you have (full version or upgrade - all versions include the complete program code, it is the serial number that distinguishes plenty of upgrade)-even on a machine that has never had any installed Adobe software.

    The installation program will ask you to enter the serial number from a previous version to verify that you qualify to use the upgrade.

    Which is the last version that you own? CS5 or CS6? You have all your serial numbers?

    You can download the latest version of download and Installation Help | Download and Installation Help

    Install and enter your serial number.

  • Sa20-S103 can't install software designed for Windows XP

    Because I installed a service pack II - I had a problem with the installation of some software on my SA20.
    Even with software designed for Windows XP. We have several PC's desktop and my SA20 is a laptop. All PCs have the same XP version with the same updates.

    So in my widows case gives the following warning:
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG. NT. This file system is not appropriate to run MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows applications. Select a button 'Close' to terminate the application activity.

    Microsoft told me: Sorry, it's a problem with Toshiba Windows XP under System. They explained that in this case service pack II can work not properly in contact with the XP system redesigned for Toshiba. Who can help me?
