For those whose CF server may be behind a firewall or has no outbound internet access, you can download the hotfix file via this URL: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/xml/updates.xml, and then you can place the file on the server and apply the hotfix either with the Admin interface or via the command-line.

Similarly, if you're behind a proxy and need to specify proxy info, you can do that by modifying the jvm.config for the CF server where the Admin will be used.

For more on both of these, as well as many (50) common or helpful questions and answers about the updater, see this blog entry from Adobe engineer Krishnap:

I downloaded the certificate hotfix JAR for Windows and wanting to check the contents, I doubleclicked on it. Well, rather than opening in my archive program as I expected, it extracted and produced a full blown setup program to install the update. Is this a valid way to install this hotfix for Windows??

Sure, mmatheny52, if that worked. Some find that when they do that, it saves as a jar (and then they have to run the java -jar command). Others find that downloading the file ends up saving as a zip rather than a jar (which is so odd). They need to rename that to a jar and then run the java-jar command. Of course, many don't have the java command on their path, so they try to run it and it fails. For them, they need to (at the command prompt) CD to the location where the java.exe lives (C:\ColdFusion10\jre\bin), and then point to the jar wherever they have saved it.

ColdFusion crafts the emails it sends as alerts using a FROM address of "ColdFusion" however this is not a valid email address so there are a good number of email servers that will block ColdFusion from sending these alerts. I went into the CFIDE/administrator/updates/task/checkupdates.cfm file that builds this information but it's a java byte compiled file so I can't update it to use a real address instead of the fake one.

As per technote at http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-10-mandatory-update.html, need to apply mandatory update for auto updater to work due to certificate revocation.
