Anyone see any issues with deploying Flash Player 27.x, using management logic/pieces you have in place for Flash Player 26.x? Suppression, etc.

Guide updated today: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide/pdf/flash_player_27_0_admin_guide.pdf

The new guide mentions the first two settings AutoUpdateDisable and AutoUpdateDisable, so no apparent changes there.

The third setting DisableAnalytics was not in the 26 guide, and not in the 27 guide, so gonna assume it still works but is not documented (sneaky Adobe!).

#!/bin/bash 

# Create folder if it doesn't exist
/bin/mkdir -p /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/

# Disable auto updates
echo "AutoUpdateDisable=1" > /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg

# Disable silent auto updates
echo "SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0" >> /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg

# Disable analytics (undocumented)
echo "DisableAnalytics=1" >> /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg

exit 0

Script working well to turn of Flash AutoUpdate prompts.
