Auto updating Flash and Java

[Satvir]

Hi,

 

What is the best way that the rest of you install/auto-update the latest Flash and Java onto client PCs?

 

just checked and our image on our newest PCs were created in June and since then there have already been 4 Flash updates.

 

A real pain when Flash needs updating and staff are saying that websites don't work and once Flash has been installed it works fine.

We don't tend to allow Flash or Adobe to automatically update... we try to keep all versions across the site the same which makes it easier to uninstall the old version and push out updated versions when required (if something requires a new version etc).

 

We use SCCM 2012 to manage installation and uninstallation of programs (supersedance).

Thanks, but unfortunately we don't have SCCM.

 

What about GPO and deploying MSI packages this way? What experiences have you had with that?
