SCUP Acrobat/Reader Catalogs

Hi,

I added the catalogs indicated below on System Center Updates Publisher 2011:

http://armmf.adobe.com/arm-manifests/win/SCUP/Acrobat11_Catalog.cab

http://armmf.adobe.com/arm-manifests/win/SCUP/Acrobat10_Catalog.cab

http://armmf.adobe.com/arm-manifests/win/SCUP/Reader11_Catalog.cab

http://armmf.adobe.com/arm-manifests/win/SCUP/Reader10_Catalog.cab

Once I try to import through Updates - Import, I receive this error message for every single link:

Download file: http://armmf.adobe.com/arm-manifests/win/SCUP/Reader10_Catalog.cab failed with message "The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable."

Note: I also use http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/distribution/win/AdobeFlashPlayerCatalog_SCUP.cab to get updates, but I did not get any error for this link after the import.

Have you ever experienced an error like this one?

Best Regards.

Hi guys,

we have the same issue here, but the problem was caused by the German Telekom DNS Server.

They are not able to resolve the hostname "armdl.adobe.com".

Regards.

Stefan

Yes, it is a DNS issue. On two of my networks that use BIND, armdl.adobe.com does not resolve. It resolves if we do a lookup using google's free DNS.

We have created conditional forwarders for adobe.com in order to resolve armdl.adobe.com correctly. Still sucks that we have to do this, but at least it works.

Does anyone know how to resolve this? I'm experiencing the same issue, I'm currently using SCUP 2011.

It is a DNS issue (at least it was for us)

Try this in a command prompt to look it up with google's free DNS: nslookup 8.8.8.8 armdl.adobe.com

What we ended up having to do was use a conditional forwarder in our DNS server to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to look up all addresses on adobe.com

SCUP is working now.
