How to Disable Updates in Adobe Acrobat Standard

[aderse02]

About 8 months ago we installed about 40+ Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 installations throughout our environment.  We then have had the time to create a completely hands free installation .msi that disables the AutoUpdate feature and a configures a few more items.

My question is:

How can I disable the AutoUpdate feature on Adobe Acrobat Standard 9.0 without having to go into the Edit>Preferences Menu and deselect it?

Thanks for your time.

The Updater guide has your needed information.

If you get the AIM AIR app, you'll get a database of other configurable preferences.

That gave me enough information to find out that I needed to add the following reg key.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\FeatureLockDown]
"bUpdater"=dword:00000000

It's just slightly different that 7.0 and 8.0, but generally the same step.  I just needed to find the right location to place the bUpdater dword value.

Thanks!
