Monthly Updates

[ictjpc]

Hi,

Within our organisation I am responsible for the monthly patching. I am looking to understand better if our current method is correct.

We have SCCM Current Branch 1910 and SCUP 5.00. Monthly I:

Import from the SCUP catalogue and publish full content the latest Adobe Acrobat DC, Reader DC and Flash updates.

These are then Syncronised with SCCM and added to the monthly deployment package.

At the end of the month we have a Master Patch package for Adobe Acrobat DC and Reader DC. the patches are then mandatory installs.

However I have been seeing a number of failures recently, around older versions being an issue and not installing.

What I would like to know is if the monthly Adobe updates are cumulative, so I can simply update the deployed update monthly, rather than having each version having to install in order, which seems to be causing us an issue at present.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

"All updates, including out of cycle patches, are cumulative to the base release. Chaining updates is never required. For all products and tracks, install the base release and the last update."
