Acrobat reader - UPDATE (port, address requirements)

[Guest]

Hi guys.
So far I haven't find information what to add on corporate network firewall to allow ACROBAT READER updates.

We have a group of isolated computers which we don't allow internet access but we would like to give Acrobat Reader allow access for pushing updates.

What to allow in corporate firewall for this devices (ports, urls?)?

For updating Adobe has a constant, ever changing, dynamic pool of systems all over the world, including many cloud providers with dynamic addresses. No static firewall setting is possible. You should instead manage updates yourself, perhaps with SCCM. Adobe have many tools to assist in enterprise deployment.

Thank you for the reply.

Just putting allow rule for any *.adobe.com would not do the trick I suppose?

I believe Adobe use lots of third parties to do this sort of thing, as well as having a whole bunch of domain names themselves... unfortunately software delivery from big companies who move millions or billions of items is a rapidly changing scene and you probably wouldn't even find anyone in Adobe who understands the whole picture, still less can give a list... on a busy day a thousand servers could suddenly come to life all over the world.

We wanted to avoid the approach of pushing SCCM/SCUM adobe updates as we have found out that Adobe reader creates a scheduled task (probably it uses system account) which covers the update process on the clients....

now the only problem is with users which have internet blocked... i guess we will be forced to use SCUM at the end 😕
