Disable the AI Assistant on all Organization

Hi @Marco5E4C,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

You can roll it out in Active Directory by creating a GPO to add the registry key below and running gpupdate/force on the user machines.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown

• Create new D Word key: bEnableGentech
• Value: 0
• Setting the value to 1 will enable generative AI features.

If you are using Intune solely for device management, you can disable it via a remediation using two scripts.

Detection:

$path = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown"
$name = "bEnableGentech"
$type = "DWORD"
$value = 0

Try { 
    $Registry = Get-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name $Name -ErrorAction Stop | Select-Object -ExpandProperty $Name
    If ($Registry -eq $Value)
    { 
    Write-Output "Compliant"
    Exit 0
    } 
    else 
 {
    Write-Warning "Not Compliant"
    Exit 1
    }
} 
Catch {
    Write-Warning "Not Compliant"
    Exit 1
}

#Fileext
$regkey="HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown"
$name="bEnableGentech"
$value=0

#Registry Template
If (!(Test-Path $regkey))
{
    New-Item -Path $regkey -ErrorAction stop
}
if (!(Get-ItemProperty -Path $regkey -Name $name -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{
    New-ItemProperty -Path $regkey -Name $name -Value $value -PropertyType DWORD -ErrorAction stop
    write-output "remediation complete"
    exit 0
}
set-ItemProperty -Path $regkey -Name $name -Value $value -ErrorAction stop
write-output "remediation complete"
exit 0
