Hello,

I'm using the Adobe Flash Player Distribution Catalog located here:

[moderator: deleted links, posting links to distribution license resources is not allowed as per the distribution license]

This catalog is using an expired certificate since march 19 2019. IS there a new URL to import Flash Player into WSUS/SCUP/SUP/SCCM? I haven't found any documentation on this.

Thank you

Hello Maria,

thanks for your post - now I get the updates, but they are meta-data only and cannot be downloaded via Third-Party Software Update Catalogs in SCCM - is there maybe another URL to full content updates or another way to get these into SCCM software updates?

This is a big mess,

I've been fighting this for a few days and have insecure clients on my network, Adobe peeps, please provide steps to get through this issue, I've removed this subscription, synced, subscribed numerous times and am still unable to publish the content.

I had no issue publishing this months Acrobat and Reader updates, it's just Flash that is giving me problems.

P.S. I am authorized to redistribute Flash, Reader, and Acrobat updates.

Thanks in advance!

Here's the latest from my SMS_ISVUPDATES_SYNCAGENT.log when I try to publish the Adobe flash player 32.0.0.171 updates in my SCCM console.

Please note I've changed the Publisher ID to match the certificate ID: Adobe Inc.

I've unsubscribed, unchecked, synced WSUS, used WSUS cleanup tools to purge unused updates, etc

Added the 3rd party published Flash update, pointed it to: https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/distribution/win/AdobeFlashPlayerCatalog_SCUP.cab resubscribed, synced, synced WSUS, resynced 3rd party, re-synced WSUS then tried to publish the plugin and PPAPI Flash 32.0.0.171 updates I get:

Super annoying repeating error here:

Since the guid of the update that had the old cert remains unchanged,and I've re-synced the 3rd party update so many times trying to fix this issue I seem to be stuck with a record in SCCM that won't purge or update.

Perhaps Adobe could reissue the update with a new GUID?

Otherwise I seem to be stuck with a phantom update that shows up as available but I simply cannot publish and will have to wait until next month to patch this thing, since it does seem to be connecting properly and the correct cert is showing up in my system and is unblocked.

Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I'm done banging my head against the wall trying to fix the unfixable.

Can you try changing the PublisherID to just Adobe? While the certificate has Adobe, Inc, the VendorName in the SCUP catalog is just Adobe.

I am also experiencing an issue syncing new updates. We are trying to push the latest version in response to APSB19-19 but we are not getting the most recent version of the product. I see the previous versions have been expired but nothing new has ben synced.

For my particular issue, I think I'm missing updates because Adobe decided to change the publisher name from Adobe Systems, Inc. to Adobe. I just selected that in my SCCM Update Point and am currently re-syncing my catalogs.

Yes. This worked. If you're not seeing the new updates, since March 2019, make sure you've added the new publisher.

Ok everyone, I did find the solution. While adobe fix there certificate, we need to enable it. When you do the first sync, you will have an error in the third party sync view (I'm with SCCM SUP with Third Party Enabled on 1810).

Go to Administration ==> Certificate and unblock all Adobe Certificate

After, go sync all third party catalog again. If it still fail, unsubscribe and subscribe again to get a new certificate and be sure it's unblocked.

After the sync finish, initiate a software update sync. It's going to take sometime.

Now, adobe changed something again. The flash player are no more under Adobe Systems, Inc, but now under Adobe. Since it's a new entry only available after the succesfull sync, you need to add it to the sync. Go in administration ==> Sites ==> Manages Software Update Point ==> Products ==> Check the new Adobe / Adobe Flash Player.

Sync again, now they're present...

Thank you very much.

Checking the new Product category in SCCM for Flash Player, finally managed to make them available in All Software Updates.

That did the trick, thank you! I knew the name had changed, I just hadn't considered that it might have also changed in SUP. Appreciate the assist.

I have a valid distribution license and the new certificate. The update appears to publish successfully but when I synchronize the software updates in SCCM nothing ever shows up. I've deleted the certificate and re-imported the update but it is still not there.

Any ideas\help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Maria,

I have a valid distribution license, and I am also experiencing the same certificate expiration issue for Flash Player. Would you be able to share the solution?

Thanks!
