For SCCM:
For Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (Continuous track), Adobe pushes you toward Provisioning Packages (.prov files). While not purely a CMD string, you deploy them via CMD:
"ProvisioningTool.exe" /input "C:\Path\To\License.prov" /silent
This is the cleanest method for cloud-licensed users because the user never sees a login prompt.
For IT professionals, the standard GUI installer (AcroRdrDC.exe) is unacceptable for mass deployment. Adobe supports Customization Wizard and command-line parameters, but the documentation is fragmented.
The Standard Silent Command:
AcroRdrDC64_en_US.exe /sAll /rs /msi /norestart /quiet EULA_ACCEPT=YES
What works well:
What fails critically:
Check C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroRd32.exe exists, or run:
wmic product where "name like 'Adobe Acrobat Reader%%'" get name, version
That’s it for the free reader — no activation needed.
