SCCM- How do I deploy Java 8.40 Silently and remove the autoupdate

[djgreek]

Hi Everyone,

I have had to take on SCCM. Its set up.

 

Can some one please give me a few steps on how to create a package and deploy java 64 bit

 

I am a beginner with SCCM

Hi, there...

 

We don't use SCCM (yet), but our software deployment system basically just runs a command line as a remote user.

 

Here's the syntax for JRE 8U40. It's for the 32bit version, as we're predominantly 32bit (apparently, it's advised you go with the 32bit version even on 64bit OS?):

 

jre-8u40-windows-i586.exe INSTALL_SILENT=1 AUTO_UPDATE=0 WEB_JAVA_SECURITY_LEVEL=H WEB_ANALYTICS=0 EULA=0 REBOOT=0 SPONSORS=0 NOSTARTMENU=1

 

I'm also not sure if the following is needed, but we still have it in our script.. It's in AU3 syntax, as that's what I've used for our silent installer which silently kills earlier versions before installing the preferred version:

 

$key = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy"

RegWrite($key, "EnableAutoUpdateCheck", "REG_DWORD", "0")

RegWrite($key, "EnableJavaUpdate", "REG_DWORD", "0")

RegWrite($key, "NotifyDownload", "REG_DWORD", "0")

RegWrite($key, "NotifyInstall", "REG_DWORD", "0")

RegDelete("$Key", "PromptAutoUpdateCheck")

RegDelete("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "SunJavaUpdateSched")

 

Hope that helps?

The 64-bit version of Java is required if you need to use the Java plug-in with a 64-bit browser or to make Minecraft a bit faster.

 

I deploy both JREs since we have 32-bit and 64-bit browsers.

I always extract the MSI from the EXE file and use this command which appears to do the job:

 

msiexec /i jre1.8.0_40.msi JU=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 RebootYesNo=No WEB_JAVA=1 /q
