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 (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!

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

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
