Is there a reason why BigFix dosen’t supply the Flash Player updates for Mac workstations like they do for the Windows platform? I was under the impression that flash player updates would be available for Mac since they are for Windows as well.

Any update on this? Before we purchased Bigfix, I specifically made it a point to get it in writing that Adobe Flash Player is supported by Bigfix on the Mac. Our sales person guaranteed that Adobe Flash player was covered by Bigfix. I am disappointed if what murtasma says is true.

It’s pretty straightforward to roll your own.
Here’s the Action Script I’m using to update Flash Player on Macs.
This is for 10.1.102.64. You can adjust the sha1 and size for future versions.
// download the disk image file download http:
//fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_osx_ub.dmg
continue
if
{(size of it = 7967541 AND sha1 of it =
"0b7bf020721aca927fea4fddd64c8b4f71bf06ef") of file
"install_flash_player_osx_ub.dmg" of folder
"__Download"
}
// move the DMG file to a temp directory move
"{posix path of file "install_flash_player_osx_ub.dmg
" of folder "__Download
" of client folder of current site}"
"/tmp/install_flash_player_osx_ub.dmg"
// mount the disk image wait hdiutil attach -quiet -nobrowse -mountpoint
"/tmp/FlashPlayer"
"/tmp/install_flash_player_osx_ub.dmg"
// run the installer wait installer -pkg
"/tmp/FlashPlayer/Install Adobe Flash Player.app/Contents/Resources/Adobe Flash Player.pkg" -target /
// unmount the volume wait /bin/sh -c
"hdiutil detach -force `mount | grep /tmp/FlashPlayer | cut -f 1 -d \ | cut -f 3 -d /`"
// delete the disk image file wait sh -c
"rm '/tmp/install_flash_player_osx_ub.dmg' "(imported comment written by murtasma91)
This is great amelgares thanks for the action script! I’ll try testing it out with some of our Mac users here.
