Looks like the auto update feature in this program is saturating some of our wan links at remote sites.
I’ll look at writing something next week to turn off the updates based on this…

Just wondering if the BigFix gang is looking at incorporating this into their content. It looks like it is a user based setting in the application data again…
(Excerpt from the link) To manually edit the AdobeUpdaterPreferences.dat file, do the following:
Start the AdobeUpdater.exe application from …\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Updater 5
When the Adobe Updater dialog appears stating that there is no Internet connection, click Cancel
Navigate to …\Documents and Settings[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Updater5 on Windows XP or …[username]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Updater5 on Vista and open AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat in Notepad.
If the 1 tag already exists, then change the value from 1 to 0. Otherwise, add the line 0 anywhere between the tags.
Close and save the AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat file.
