update 100+ workstations from 2019 version apps to 2020

Hi all

I am looking for a way to mass upgrade our 100+ Win10 workstations from photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator 2019 versions to the latest version currently out.

For our current deployment, we created a package from Adobe's deployment tools and we deploy those to our workstations using PDQ Deploy.

I have first looked into the RUM tool but that seems to only update the latest updated version that you currently have installed but won't upgrade to a newer version (i.e cannot update photoshop 21 to 22 etc.)

Failing that, would AUSST be the way to go? is there a way to achieve this without setting up AUSST (Pls dont suggest creating a new Adobe Package, uninstalling the current one and re-installing the new one)

Are there any PS commands to remotely trigger the download of the newest apps and another to delete older ones?

Thanks,

Hello,

If the users do not have admin privileges, there are only two options that I can suggest to update the apps, and the first one is to use AUSST and the second one is to remove old version apps and install the updated package from the admin console. If the end-user can install or update apps then they can update these applications using the creative cloud desktop app.

You can create a managed package from the admin console by selecting the "Enable self-service install" and "Allow non-admin to update and install apps" which will allow the end-users to update the apps without needing any special admin rights.

Hi and thanks for your reply.

"...which will allow the end-users to update the apps without needing any special admin rights."

We need to ensure all staff are on the same versions to ensure consistency so this wont be something we would want to do, hence the reason for updating all workstations.

I will look further into AUSST.

Thanks!
