Adobe Updates & Terminal Server

Ideally with Adobe what you normally do is to use their own customization tool (available for free on their website) and then create a TRANSFORM file (MST) that you would use when installing the product so all the customizations are done at installation time for you and all users.
As I assume you did not use that and just want to know how to create/apply registry changes to a GPO, here you go.
What you want to do, assuming there is no ADM template for this setting you want to change, is to create an ADM template file and then import using the Group Policy Management Console so you can apply it.
To convert a registry file to an ADM template just use REGTOADM. All you need is explained/available here:

Thanks so much for the information; I have the NUTS app and understand the instructions, however I do not have the registry key referenced in the other Question:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Updater

What do you suggest?

Thank you,

Create it on a test machine so you can test what this key does. If it works as advertised by Adobe then simply create it on a machine, export it and convert to an ADM template.

This question is not abandoned, promise!  I'm working on following the Expert's advice, I'm just the only deck hand on this ship.  Sorry for the delay.  SS

Interesting, I did not realize you could simply create registry keys manually.  After creating the registry key it occured to me that perhaps it wasn't the right key...we've never installed Reader 7.0 on this machine.  Version 8.0 was installed and later Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro was installed.  How / where can I find Adobe's advertised functionality for this particular key?  

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Updater

Thank you, SS

All that is required, transform files included, are here:

My last post was pending a response until this recent Admin Comment.  I am still working this issue and have need of additional information.  I would appreciate it if the action to delete would be rescinded.

Thank you,

Thanks for the link to stealthpuppy.com tsmvp.  I've successfully created the ADM file but I'm struggling with using it within the GPMC.  I followed the directions to modify the filtering so the template can be seen, and even exited the GP editor and opened it up again but I still can't see it.  What am I missing?
