Thank you

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
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
}
Remediation:
#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
Note: Before running the script, please read and validate on your end.
