This week I got fed up and looked into other ways to install Adobe Reader and found you can sign up for an Adobe Reader distribution license and obtain an installer from a separate link. To fix this, I've had to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and install Adobe Reader from while the server is running and users are logged in, which makes the users understandably annoyed as they've been kicked off all of their PDFs for the 5th time in a month! 'Product: Adobe Acrobat DC (64-bit) - Installation operation completed successfully.' This will sometimes happen once in two weeks, or twice in two days! It seems sporadic and happens on all of the server in the farm.Īs soon as I receive a report that Adobe is asking a user to sign in, I check the Application log in Event Viewer on that server for event 11707 and lo and behold, there's an event in there from a few minutes ago saying something like: We use Adobe Reader on our terminal servers and it had been working perfectly fine up until recently.įor the last couple of months Adobe Reader has decided to automatically upgrade itself to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC every once in a while, asking all currently logged in users to sign into Adobe Reader with their Adobe ID, which they don't have because our company doesn't have any Acrobat Pro licenses.
