With the recent Adoble Flash vulnerability, I want to make sure all clients
have the latest Flash installed. Is there a straightforward way to push a
query out to do that?
 
Hello Kenneth,

I do it this way, check if installed, if not install directly the version
i like to have. For this i run a small batch file like this as a startup
script:

Copy this into fp.bat:
Start of script
install FlashPlayer 90124 in silent mode and creates logfile to prevent
loop on install

if not exist %systemroot%\fp90124.log \\domain.com\SysVol\domain.com\Policies\{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\Machine\Scripts\Startup\fp.exe
/s

if not exist %systemroot%\fp90124.log copy \\domain.com\SysVol\domain.com\Policies\{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\Machine\Scripts\Startup\fp.txt
c:\winnt\fp90124.log /y

End of script

The xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx will be the policy you create.

So i have 3 files located in this policy. fp.exe (flash player redistributable),
fp90124.log (with whatever text or empty) and fp.bat which is the file for
the startup script.

Best regards
