Adobe Flash can be a systems administrator\u2019s nemesis on a Microsoft Terminal Server.<\/p>\n
After installing the Adobe Flash ActiveX widget, you might notice that non-administrative users aren\u2019t able to browse sites utilizing flash. They\u2019ll be presented with a rather ambiguous message.<\/p>\n
The error: \u201cHello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe\u2019s Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. \u201d<\/p>\n
I must admit that I do like polite error messages, butbutbutbutbut I already have the latest Flash Player!<\/p>\n
This only happens in IE, Firefox is just fine. I\u2019d tell my users to just browse in Firefox, but of course we have some applications (IE: SharePoint, CRM and others) where IE is pretty much required.<\/p>\n
So, what\u2019s the fix?<\/p>\n
Open regedit and find these two keys:<\/p>\n
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\TypeLib\\{D27CDB6B-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} Right click -> Permissions -> Click Everyone -> Check the \u201cRead\u201d box -> No reboot needed. Now, with any luck, your users can get Flash goodness. I tend to test the fix out by going to YouTube and rewarding myself with a video.<\/p>\n Till next time\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adobe Flash can be a systems administrator\u2019s nemesis on a Microsoft Terminal Server.
