Anyone able to get Adobe to update via self service? I have the command below in self service and it open the updater for adobe but when I try to click it I get the dialog box to authenticate as Admin. Trying to have non-admin users to update when ever they want.
Command:
/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Application Manager/core/Adobe Application Manager.app/Contents/MacOS/PDApp
Any thought anyone?

If your using Adobe Enterprise Packaging and have it installed you should use this guy. It's the command line implementation of Adobe Update.

Mac OS:
/usr/sbin/RemoteUpdateManager

Second for RUM. I have a trigger in Self Service for RUM. Just string to invoke that drunken sailor. No meaningful feed back but as long as it returns 0 it was successful.
Here is a link to some RUM documentation.

If you call it using a script use an if statement for results other than 0 and echo "error" then Casper will log them as failed policies (if you need this)

I enjoy RUM too! Although not a lot. It's worth the mention that it does not update everything that the utility can, Acrobat and DPS tools come to mind. If any app that's to be updated is running, it will fail silently.
With CS 5 and 6 you had to package and push the RUM binaries yourself, but with CC it's now included with the install.
