Hi all,



just testing with the latest release of Flash from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution5.html





I installed it on a test machine and ran recon but it doesn't show up in the Patch reporting, it still shows the previous version for this machine.



I've ;
deleted and re-added the Flash Player Patch
restarted MySQL on our JSS
tested on a 2nd machine and ran recon



If i take the Extension Attribute from the Flash Player Patch and run it locally it reports the correct version as 26.0.0.137



#!/usr/bin/env bash

##############################################################################

# A script to collect the version of Adobe Flash Player currently installed. #

# If flash is not installed "Not Installed" will return back                 #

##############################################################################

RESULT="Not Installed"





if [ -f "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/version.plist" ] ; then

    RESULT=$( /usr/bin/defaults read "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/version.plist" CFBundleVersion )

fi



echo "<result>$RESULT</result>"


am i missing something obvious here ? (probably!)

Have you tried just waiting? Seems like it usually takes ~5-10 mins after a recon before the patch compliance is re-calculated.



Patch Reporting for Flash Player NPAPI is working fine for us with 26.0.0.137, I packed it this morning and sent it out and the numbers are rising.

.

Thanks @calvins



It's fixed now



It had been reporting incorrectly for a few days. i'd also noticed that it wasn't reporting the installed version of Office but showing the earlier version.



I needed to restart the server for something else and it's all now reporting correctly, i suspect it may have been messed up in mysql.
