Hi guys.

I am trying to serve the Adobe CS6 Updates in Casper Suites Self Service.

At the moment i have the clients poining to my AUSST server and a simple script that open the

/Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Application\ Manager/core/Adobe\ Application\ Manager.app

Under CS5 this works fine

Under CS6 this launch the app manager, asks my to sign in and asks me if i want to try Adobes' products!!!

I did find /Applications/Utilities/Adobe/Adobe\ Application\ Manager/UWA/AAM\ Updaters\ Notifier.app

if you double click it then it will put the notifier in your menu bar when you can select Open Updater...

If i do this then my client machine points to my AUSST Server.

The overall outcome is i want to out of hours use RUM to update clients but also allow user through Self Service to run and check for updates!

Does anyone know how to do this

Thanks

    According to this the Adobe Applucation Manager launched directly should look for updates

    Actually it's the complete opposite!

    Yes erm... i am tkimpton and actively in the JAMF community

    did you see https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=5311

    we have RUM for silent out of hours update which is good

    we need a working way to run Adobe Application Manager as root for the end users to install updates from our AUSST using self service.

    *Note not all updates are being recognised by RUM
