Disabling Auto Update for Adobe Reader MacOS Enterprise Wide

Question

Good Day,
At our company we have adobe reader available for use on MacOS, but the auto update funtion is causing problems with our security software. We want to disable the auto update feature enterprise wide, but Im having trouble figuring out the best way to do it on mac.

We have done it on windows using registry entries, trying to figure out if thiers a simmiliar approach we can take on Mac .

Reg entry fix script below:

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown" /v bUpdater /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Adobe ARM\Legacy\Reader\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AC0F074E4100}" /v Mode /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000 /f
sc stop "AdobeARMservice"
sc config "AdobeARMservice" start= disabled

@ASD_794 To disable the auto-update feature, you need to create a feature lockdown plist file. This file will override the default application settings and prevent the updater from running.DCFeatureLockdownbUpdater
