Here's another script I set up with logging as well going after the other approach of renaming AdobeCollabsync.exe.
It has a couple of Checkers as renaming will only work until Adobe re-inserts that file, so my script will rectify that:
#########################################################################################
###Check AdobeCollabSync.exe for rename, if exists = rename to AdobeCollabSync-OLD.exe###
###Created 07/14/2025 #########
#########################################################################################
$FilePath = "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\AdobeCollabsync.exe"
$NewName = "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\AdobeCollabsync-OLD.exe"
$Test = Test-Path "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\AdobeCollabsync.exe"
$TestRename = Test-Path "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\AdobeCollabsync-OLD.exe"
$Date = Get-Date -Format "dd:MM:yyyy_hh:mm"
if ((($test) -and ($TestRename)) -eq 'true'){
Write-Host "Both Original and renamed files exist"
Add-Content -Path "C:\%WorkingRepo%\Log\ScriptLog.txt" -Value "$Date Both files exist, removing original"
taskkill /IM 'AdobeCollabsync.exe' /F
Remove-Item "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\AdobeCollabsync.exe" -force
}
if (($test) -eq 'true') {
taskkill /IM 'AdobeCollabsync.exe' /F
Set-Location "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat"
Rename-Item "AdobeCollabsync.exe" "AdobeCollabsync-OLD.exe"
Add-Content -Path "C:\%WorkingRepo%\Log\ScriptLog.txt" -Value "$Date File Name changed"
}
else {
write-host "File Name is unchanged"
Add-Content -path "C:\%WorkingRepo%\Log\ScriptLog.txt" -Value "$Date File Name Unchanged"
}
