No access to flash. shockwave flash objects and manage add-ons

[Guest Jay Goins]

Windows 2003 sp2 and Terminal Server 2003 on 2003 domain. All non-admin users

share the same GPO. All terminal servers are in the same GPO. If the

administrator logs into any terminal server he can access any website with

flash and it works fine. On two terminal servers, the users cannot get any

flash to work (http://www.holmefunds.com and others) but on one terminal server it

does work. The difference I found was in IE tools managed add-ons. On the one

that works for everybody, there is a shockwave flash object from Adobe

enabled ActiveX control named flash9e.ocx . The latest flash has already been

installed on all three. When the administrator logs in to any terminal server

and accesses a flash web site, his add-ons show the flash9e.ocx but

non-admins only get it on the one terminal server. What do I need to do to

install this on the other 2 terminal servers?

Already tried "change user /install" uninstalling Adobe Reader, Shockwave,

and Flash then reboot, then reinstall Adobe reader 8.1.1 with update,

Shockwave and Flash "change user /execute".

Thanks!

Fixed!

 

1. Proxy - Firewall was partially blocking access to macromedia.com

 

2. On terminal server:

All users logged off (worked with users logged in -- just keep hitting

continue)

change user /install

add / remove programs

removed all instances of Adobe flash (there were 2 or 3)

change user /execute

change user /install

"install_flash_player_active_x.msi" (NOTE: THIS IS THE STANDALONE VERSION

- FREE LICENSE FROM ADOBE FOR RE-DISTRIBUTION)

Change user /execute

 

All is now working
