Acrobat DC Deployment via SCCM/Software Center - need a straight answer

Question

I've been spinning my wheels on this for a few days now.

It's particularly frustrating to find a different answer in every forum post on this topic.

Why is there no phone support from Adobe? I always get redirected back to Adobe Communities...

OK, complaining over.

My school has a site license for Adobe CC.

I have created a package containing Core Components and Acrobat DC. The License Serial Number was entered during package creation.

The only SCCM configuration (after 5 tries) that has successfully installed Acrobat DC on a test Windows 7 laptop is as follows:

SCCM Application 1 runs setup.exe in the Exceptions folder

SCCM Application 2 runs <PackageName>.msi in the Build folder, and is dependent on Application 1 to run

Application 2 is deployed to the test machine.

The issue with this installation is that when Acrobat DC is started on the test machine, the user is prompted to sign in with an Adobe ID. In a school environment we don't want the cloud features of the product.

I have tried editing the AcroPro.msi file in the Exceptions folder using Acrobat Customization Wizard DC. I don't know if setup.exe in the Exceptions folder runs AcroPro.msi with any transforms in the same folder...?

Am I installing this the right way? Can I turn off the cloud login/features?

Thanks!

Have you created a a license file for the package in CCP and deployed this along with the application? Just throw this all in a script that runs the "AdobeSerialization.exe" at the end..

You may also want to look at removing the Serialization files at the end of the script (If say you don't have locked down user profiles and people are able gain access to the distrib/ccmcache folder).
