How to upgrade Acrobat Reader across the network.

[kennysarmy]

I've followed the thread here to create a new Admin install folder and I've created a new Group Policy Object ready to go to install the most up-to date version of Reader DC.

However, I already push out Adobe Acrobat Reader DC using an existing GPO, what's the best way to test that the new GPO will remove the old version of Acrobat Reader, install the new version and work correctly before I commit to letting this happen on all the domain joined PC's?

 

Is it a case of creating a test OU - apply original GPO - remove and apply new GPO and if that works do the same at my top level?

You can have multiple versions in one GPO, so if you want to test: clone the GPO, deploy to the test group, then add the new version, tell it to upgrade the old versions (probably happen automatically if the MSI is well written)
