AADC-CN-001295 - Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Continuous Repair Installation must be disabled.

Information

When Repair Installation is disabled the user does not have the option (Help Menu) or ability to repair an Adobe Acrobat Pro DC install. Ability to repair includes the risk that established security settings could be overwritten.

Solution

Configure the following registry value:

For 32 bit:
Registry Hive:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Registry Path:
\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\Installer

For 64 bit:
Registry Hive:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Registry Path:
\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\Installer

Value Name: DisableMaintenance
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration > Administrative Template > Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Continuous > Preferences > Help > 'Repair Installation on 32/64 bit' to 'Disabled'.

This policy setting requires the installation of the AcrobatProDCContinuous custom templates included with the STIG package. 'AcrobatProDCContinuous.admx' and 'AcrobatProDCContinuous.adml' must be copied to the \Windows\PolicyDefinitions and \Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US directories respectively.
