With the release of Adobe Reader X I needed to roll this out to a number of systems. There seems to be a mass of complex information regarding something as simple as a silent install at login on the client PCs.

Below is a list of reference material to help make this process easier! There are a number of methods, so no right and wrong way of doing it! I’m in the process of deployment so building up a list of information to get it right (will update here later)

Silent Install switch (could be added to login script) then via GP:

\\server\Software-Distribution\AdbeRdr1000_en_US.exe /msi EULA_ACCEPT=YES /qn

Installation via software deployment in GP (old guide but the same principle)
