Otherwise you are probably safe to go ahead and install the latest Adobe Reader. Hope that helps. ☺ Jamie Nelson | Systems Engineer | Systems Support, Information Technology | I N T E G R I S Health | Phone 405.552.0903 | Fax 405.553.5687 | http://www.integrisok.com From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Latham, Mark Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 5:11 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Install Acrobat Reader via Group Policy UNLESS already installed I would like to install Adobe Reader on all of our Domains PC's unless any version is already installed. I have some users that have the full version and do not want to effect that. Does anybody have a GPO Script or startup script to do this?
