Adobe Flash Background Updates

Hi - it looks like the address for the Adobe Flash Background Updates CAB file moved from a publicly accessible URL to behind a login page.  A while ago I created a script and scheduled task that would run a WGET command, download the CAB file and then extract the CAB to an IIS directory and then allow the Flash player to self update using settings configured in the MMS.CFG file.  This worked great for us until last week when the URL changed.  Setting up this script and auto updates reduced my work overhead tremendously given the number of Flash vulnerabilities that need attention over the span of a year...

Any chance the CAB can move back to a publicly accessible link? 

I've been trying to get SCUP in the door, but entrenched processes around patching makes it a bit more difficult to get it in.
