I work in an enterprise environment that supports around 1200 computers. I have about 80 users that have various versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro installed on their office computers.
When we upgraded our reader product to DC and deployed it, all of the computers with Acrobat Pro installed had their default viewer changed from Acrobat Pro to Reader DC. I have not had this issue with other previous versions of Adobe Reader.
I have the Adobe Customization Tool set to "Installer will decide which product will be the default."
It is my understanding that with this selection, the installer will set the default .PDF viewer to the most secure version. (of course this is going to be the new Reader DC program)
I have already found a registry change that removed the welcome screen. Are there any other fixes, flag, switches that I can take advantage of to have the installer not change the users default viewer?
I have a lot of users that work only with Acrobat Pro and get a bit upset when their default viewer changes. Our technicians have to remote into the individual computers and switch the default viewer manually. If we had to do this each time Adobe releases an update, it would not be a sufficient use of resources. I would like more control over this. What are my options?
