Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0.1 MSI Information
Last Updated: 11.04.04 by Chad Dupuis, acis-windows@mit.edu

Using vendor supplied MSI and MST within a batch script as they do not support administrative installations and the MSI fails to validate if attempted to deploy via group policy.
Removed the desktop shortcut from the MSI.
To install use the install batch file as a startup script within group policy - Dfs\MSI\ACST\adobe_acrobat_professional_60\setup_acrobat_pro_60.bat
For reference: the install command is: C:\winnt\system32\msiexec.exe /i "\\win.mit.edu\dfs\MSI\ACST\adobe_acrobat_professional_60\adobe_acrobat_pro_60.msi" /qn ISX_SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx TRANSFORMS="\\win.mit.edu\dfs\MSI\ACST\adobe_acrobat_professional_60\adobe_acrobat_pro_60.mst" USERNAME="Pismere User" COMPANYNAME="MIT"
To uninstall use the remove batch file as a shutdown script within group policy - Dfs\MSI\ACST\adobe_acrobat_professional_60\remove_acrobat_pro_60.bat
For reference: the remove command is: C:\winnt\system32\msiexec.exe /x "\\win.mit.edu\dfs\MSI\ACST\adobe_acrobat_professional_60\adobe_acrobat_pro_60.msi" /qn and it requires a restart.
Update to 6.0.1: As of 11.04.04 there is an additional startup script which will reinstall adobe acrobat with the 6.0.1 patch that was extracted from the Adobe 6.0.1 patch executable. You must place this startup script after the 6.0 setup script.

Our system startup batch script install the product a places a file (C:\install_acrobat.txt) on the drive. If you want to reinstall the product, remove this file.
The first time a user starts an Office product after this is installed they will get a security warning saying asking to enable or disable macros from Adobe. They should check "Always trust" and then click enable.
