1
00:00:03,030 --> 00:00:03,810
Okay.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,540
So now what scenario I'm going to deal with is I get a patch of Acrobat reader from Adobe.

3
00:00:10,390 --> 00:00:15,400
And I want to deploy that patch or that update to reader, to all my systems that have gotten Acrobat

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,440
Reader installed via group policy.

5
00:00:18,370 --> 00:00:24,070
So the first thing I need to do is I need to patch my administrative install on my DFC share and that's

6
00:00:24,070 --> 00:00:25,360
what this command is doing.

7
00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:31,150
So I'm running message exec with that slash of or administrative install parameter.

8
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:37,930
I'm giving it the path to the MSI file up on my DFS share and then I'm giving it a slash P and the name

9
00:00:37,930 --> 00:00:41,200
of the Microsoft Installer Patch file that I want to execute.

10
00:00:42,130 --> 00:00:44,560
So I'm going to go ahead and run this command.

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,120
And what it is going to do is it is going to go ahead and walk me through patching this install.

12
00:00:50,030 --> 00:00:55,070
And essentially it's going to apply that patch to the existing installation that I have up there, and

13
00:00:55,070 --> 00:00:59,630
that will be the first part of what I need to do to make this to get this deployed to all my systems.

14
00:01:00,530 --> 00:01:02,000
So once that's done.

15
00:01:02,870 --> 00:01:09,050
I'm going to go ahead and go into my GPO where that package has been deployed, and I'm going to select

16
00:01:09,050 --> 00:01:10,880
to redeploy the application.

17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,850
And what this does is it sends a sets of flag in the GPO that triggers all of the clients that have

18
00:01:16,850 --> 00:01:21,380
deployed this application to know that they have something else that they want to do with that application.

19
00:01:22,250 --> 00:01:23,780
They want reinstall it.

20
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,140
And you'll see here that the warning is redeploying.

21
00:01:27,140 --> 00:01:30,230
This application will reinstall the application everywhere.

22
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:31,460
It is always installed.

23
00:01:32,330 --> 00:01:33,890
Do you want to continue?

24
00:01:34,790 --> 00:01:36,800
So yes, I want to continue.

25
00:01:37,610 --> 00:01:42,380
And now essentially what it's going to do is set that trigger for my entire environment.

26
00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:48,830
Now what I'm going to do is come to my Windows seven client and go ahead and run update again just to

27
00:01:48,830 --> 00:01:51,680
make sure that I get all of those updates from the policy.

28
00:01:52,530 --> 00:01:57,810
And it's telling me that the group policy client side extension software installation needs to essentially

29
00:01:57,810 --> 00:01:58,500
be processed.

30
00:01:58,500 --> 00:01:59,300
Ad log on.

31
00:01:59,310 --> 00:02:00,570
So I need to log off.

32
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:03,720
So I'm going to go ahead and do that.

33
00:02:04,590 --> 00:02:07,050
And now I'm logging back onto my system.

34
00:02:07,860 --> 00:02:09,810
And what you'll see here is that log on.

35
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:11,850
It's Reinstalling Adobe Reader.

36
00:02:12,780 --> 00:02:18,360
So instead of waiting for me to do something, it's actually patching Adobe Reader at the log on cycle.

37
00:02:19,230 --> 00:02:25,350
So essentially I'm getting the update before I even get to my desktop, which is a great thing.

38
00:02:26,190 --> 00:02:31,290
It ensures that the user is always using that new version of Adobe Reader that they've been deployed,

39
00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:37,320
and it makes sure that I get my patch as soon as I, as my administrator, has made it available to

40
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:37,590
me.

41
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:43,250
Now that that's completed, what I can do is I can go in here and fire up Adobe Reader.

42
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:51,030
And what you'll notice is if I go into the about Adobe Reader 11, I now have that 11.0.09 version,

43
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:54,420
which is the version that I had patched up to on my administrative share.

44
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,960
So group policy has done its job and manage that lifecycle of getting me that patch that my administrator

45
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:01,950
has delivered to me.
