Does anyone have a script I can send out so Adobe products specifically
Acrobat doesn't prompt the users that a update is available?

we don't use a script necessarily... but we accomplish this a different way.
We package up the Acrobat preferences as their own .dmg and FEU and FUT with that setting in the prefs.

We end up doing it this same way. We preconfigure the users settings with an FEU and FUT pack. Sucks, but it is what it is. I have yet to escape the making of some form of this page for different things with Acrobat Pro and Reader.

Looks like there is an easy way:

I am testing a simple deployment of com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist with:

<dict> <key>11</key> <dict> <key>FeatureLockdown</key> <dict> <key>bUpdater</key> <false/> </dict> </dict> </dict>

To: <machine root>/Library/Preferences.

I will post back in a day or two.
