Does RemoteUpdateManager work with Suite installations?

Report · Nov 18, 2013

Hi all,

I recently discovered Remote Update Manager, and I've found it works quite well for updating individual CS programs that were installed individually. However, on Windows machines it does not seem to update installations that are installed as the entire suite. For instance, when Programs and Features inclues "Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard" instead of "Adobe Photoshop CS5.5". I've tried it with and without individual --channelIds.

Is this by design? Are there unpublished --channelIDs for the entire suite?

These were not AMEE-managed installations, so I'm catching up on past history. We use Tivoli Endpoint Manager (nee BigFix). I've deployed RUM to the machines that need it, and then am executing RUM via TEM fixlets.

Thanks,

Andrew
