GPO Deployment of Adobe CC 2015

[dubravac_mgs]

Hi together,

can someone help me with the deployment of the Adobe CC2015 Suite?

We have Windows Server (2012 Std.) and Windows 7 Clients to deploy the software. We don't use SCCM or any other deployment tool. My goal is to deploy the  Software (x64 and x86) via GPO to the users. We don't want any Cloud usage by our users and have blocked the ports on our Firewall. Is there a best practice way of deploying the software without the creative cloud desktop app or is this mandatory for application start?

Thanks

If you are a Creative Cloud Enterprise customer you will have access to a CC serial number via the licensing website. You can build a package using the Creative Cloud Packager that omits the desktop application.

If you are deploying a named user installation then the desktop app is mandatory, however the 'Apps' panel can be switched off.
