Microsoft has announced that Flash will be removed started in Edge v88. It's also anticipated that Google will remove Flash entirely from distributions of Chrome starting in early 2021. In versions of Google Chrome that still run Flash Player, the following image will appear in place of the Flash object.Ĭlicking on the image will bring you to this Adobe EOL webpage.īecause the code to disable flash is built into Flash itself and not the Chrome browser, downgrading Google Chrome to an earlier version will not resolve this issue. You can experience this head of time by setting your clock forward to the end of January and restarting your browser. Nested into the Flash Player for Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Google Chrome are clocks that are ready to stop loading flash content beginning in January of 2021. Unlike most products that go end of life (EOL), Adobe Flash won't just be unsupported or unpatched, it will stop functioning entirely. In this post, I'm going to share what your experience is going to be like with Flash once it goes end of life, what the supported (read: not free) options you have are, and what the quasi-supported option available is. It's one of those truisms that you learn when you've been in IT long enough. Since I am strictly Windows here, am thinking Kace could deploy Chocolatey, then choco could install the applications, then Kace could patch? Or maybe have a VM somewhere that has choco (or Ninite?) running an update task every few hours, then push the cached packages to a network share (and strips version number), then have Kace use those packages for installation? Seems like a lot of potential points of failure on that though.It really didn't matter how much notice that Adobe gave organizations, there were always going to be applications that were going to live beyond the end of life. I know on Mac there is the autopkg/r tools that pull the latest versions of apps and then when an install is called, the most current versions are served. Of course, the current versions will be patched by Kace once they hit a deployment window, but looking to increase the efficiency. We are doing a big desktop deployment/refresh and looking for a better way of deploying the most current version of common software. Anyone have any good workflows on consistently installing the latest versions of applications with Kace SMA/K1000?Ĭurrent workflow involves having a calendar reminder go off to get the latest common installers (browsers, VLC, etc.) and then update our managed installs that scheduled deployments, techs, and end users use to install.
