Flash won't update via Policy

I use a script to update flash automatically in the background, works great! I can find it for you if you'd like, but I just searched here for a flash update script and then edited what I found for my environment and deployed the script via policy. I have it check every 2 weeks since flash likes to update often.

Not entirely clear from the OP, but do you have the smart group set to "Not: 'latest version'?" If so, you can't scope the install policy that way due to constraints.. you have to manually set the specific version each time you're upgrading. Sounds like they're hoping to do away with that approach in v10.

@Taylor.Armstrong I did have the policy scoped that way! I just changed it and we'll see how well it works (although with the amount of people not here today, I might not know how successful it is until next week).

@adeetz If you can find it, I'd love to see it, if for no other reason than I'm just learning how to script and I could see what you changed from the base script.

@duffcalifornia Here is the thread I got the script from: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/7658/flash-update-script

And here is what i have in use now, it may not be altered a whole lot. I may be thinking of another script I found on here.
