[Casper] CS4

[Ernst, Craig S.]

The way that I've worked my patching for Adobe CS3, since some of those patches appeared to need to have a login active, is what I'll use to install CS4. I haven't had a few minutes to set it up.

But basically after imaging I have a script for At Reboot that triggers a policy that does these things:

 *   Creates a new local user
 *   Applies an autologon package for that user
 *   Places a local copy of the JAMFhelper
 *   Restarts the computer

At restart the user account logs in in which there is a policy that is set for that particular user that does:

 *   Calls the local JAMF Helper
 *   Applies all of the CS3 patches I make available
 *   Uninstalls autologon package for that user
 *   Restores the default LoginWindow prefs
 *   Installs a startup item for cleanup
 *   Restarts the computer

At restart the cleanup package does:

 *   Deletes the local account that was created for patching
 *   Deletes the startup item
 *   Runs a recon cycle
 *   Triggers a final policy mainly for logging that the patching process completed

Essentially I'll use the same process, instead of patching installing CS4. Not sure if this is the best way to deal with it, but that's what I came up with.

Might get to this this week for testing. I can let you know...

Ok I got the package built for CS4 Web Premium.....

It does not work when I am not logged in. Looks like it is but sits for hours on end. If I reboot and then log in with admin ID and run it works fine and does the install. Has anyone had any luck running it on a machine that is not logged into? Is this something I will have to do? DO I need to create a script to log me in before I do this install? If so any ideas on what I need it to do?

Hope this all makes sense. So hate adobe installers.......wish they could get their act together like the everyone else.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated from anyone that has CS4 installer working.

Thanks!
