Deploy Adobe Premiere Pro Security Update

The Adobe Admin Console is the centralised management portal for all Adobe Creative Cloud licensing, packaging, and deployment. All deployment packages must be created here because Adobe signs them with your organisation's entitlement — a package from the Admin Console is tied to R&R's licence agreement and will activate correctly on endpoints. You cannot simply download an installer from adobe.com and deploy it enterprise-wide.

Adobe packages are built on demand — they combine the specific application, the exact version/build you select, and your organisation's licence serialisation into a deployable installer. Creating the package in the Admin Console ensures you get the correct patched build (addressing APSB25-87) with R&R's licence entitlements embedded, rather than a generic trial or unlicensed installer. The package type also determines whether IT controls the deployment or users self-install.

Once built, the package must be downloaded to your packaging workstation where it can be wrapped for Intune deployment. The download contains the installer executable and any supporting configuration files that Adobe bundled during the build process. This package is the source material that will be converted into a .intunewin file in Step 4.

Microsoft Intune requires applications to be wrapped in .intunewin format using the Win32 Content Prep Tool before they can be uploaded. This wrapping process compresses and encrypts the installer so Intune can manage the download, caching, installation, and detection lifecycle on each endpoint. Without wrapping, you cannot deploy a traditional setup.exe through Intune's Win32 app pipeline — and the Win32 pipeline is essential because it supports detection rules, requirements, dependencies, and supersedence that simple line-of-business app types do not.

Detection rules tell Intune how to verify whether the application is already installed on a device. Without a detection rule, Intune would re-install the application on every sync. The detection rule should check for the minimum required version — ensuring only devices running older (vulnerable) builds receive the update.

Validation confirms that the application installed correctly, activated under R&R's licence, and is running the patched version on real endpoints. Silent installations can sometimes fail without visible errors — the installer may complete but leave the application in a broken state, or the detection rule may incorrectly report success. Checking both end-user and endpoint-level validation catches these edge cases before production rollout.

Leaving old application packages assigned in Intune creates deployment conflicts — devices may try to install both the old and new version, or Intune may report compliance issues. Old versions also represent known security vulnerabilities (the reason for this update in the first place). Retiring superseded packages ensures a clean deployment estate, accurate compliance reporting, and prevents any device from reverting to the vulnerable build.
