How to Deploy the Acrobat MIP Plug-in via SCCM Updates
Question details
The user is looking for a third-party SCCM catalog URL to automatically update the Acrobat Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) plug-in for simplified enterprise deployment.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat MIP Plug-in
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Enterprise software deployment and update management via SCCM.
- Observed behavior
- The organization currently relies on manual MSI downloads and wants to streamline deployment through SCCM catalog integration or standard application packaging.
Ensure you have administrative access to your SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) environment and the latest official Acrobat MIP plug-in MSI installer downloaded from Adobe.
Manually Create an SCCM Application for the MIP Plug-in
If an approved third-party catalog is unavailable, standard SCCM application packaging using the official MSI is the most reliable deployment method.
Since a direct third-party SCCM catalog URL is not natively provided for the MIP plug-in by the vendor, deploying the standalone MSI using SCCM's application management ensures proper detection, silent installation, and supersedence.
Obtain the latest Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) plug-in MSI directly from the official Adobe enterprise download portal.
In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to Software Library > Application Management > Applications. Click 'Create Application', select 'Automatically detect information about this application from installation files', and browse to your downloaded MSI.
Allow SCCM to automatically populate the MSI product code for the detection method. Set the installation program parameters to perform a silent install by adding the argument: msiexec /i "AcrobatMIP.msi" /qn
Distribute the content to your distribution points and deploy the application to a small pilot device collection to verify the installation succeeds before rolling it out to the entire organization.
Consider WPS Office for Simplified Enterprise Deployment
Struggling with complex deployments and plug-in management? WPS Office offers a lightweight, easy-to-deploy enterprise suite that includes powerful PDF management, word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations without the hassle of heavy configurations.
- 1. Download the Installer: Get the official offline installer from the WPS Enterprise or main website.
- 2. Deploy via SCCM: Easily package the lightweight WPS Office installer in SCCM just like any standard MSI or EXE deployment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use SCCM Software Updates to deploy the Acrobat MIP plug-in?
Currently, a direct third-party catalog specifically for the MIP plug-in in SCCM is often unavailable. Administrators generally must use SCCM Application Management with the standalone MSI to deploy and update it effectively.
What is the silent install command for the Acrobat MIP MSI?
You can typically use standard Windows Installer parameters, such as 'msiexec.exe /i "AcrobatMIP.msi" /qn /norestart', to ensure a silent, hands-free installation on end-user machines.
How do I ensure the old version is removed when updating the MIP plug-in?
When configuring the Application in SCCM, use the Supersedence tab to specify the previous version of the application. Select the option to uninstall the superseded application before the new version is installed.
