To configure these specific Adobe settings in Microsoft Intune using the Administrative Templates profile type, you must utilize the Imported Administrative Templates feature. By default, Intune only contains settings for Microsoft products (Office, Edge, Windows). To manage Adobe Reader/Acrobat, you must first import the Adobe ADMX files.

Here is the step-by-step configuration guide.

Phase 1: Preparation (Import Adobe ADMX)

If you have already imported the Adobe ADMX files into your tenant, skip to Phase 2.

1. Download: Download the Enterprise ADMX templates for Adobe Acrobat and Reader from the official Adobe website.
2. Import:
   • Go to Intune Admin Center > Devices > Configuration > Import ADMX.
   • Click Import.
   • Upload the Acrobat.admx and Reader.admx files along with their corresponding .adml language files (e.g., en-US/Acrobat.adml).
   • Wait for the status to show Available.

Phase 2: Create the Profile

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center.
2. Navigate to Devices > Windows > Configuration profiles.
3. Click + Create profile.
4. Select the following:
   • Platform: Windows 10 and later
   • Profile type: Templates > Imported Administrative templates (Preview)
5. Click Create.

Phase 3: Configure Settings

1. Basics Tab

Enter the details exactly as requested:

• Name: GCN | Adobe Acrobat DC & Reader DC | Device | Baseline | v2022.10.14
• Description: No Description
• Click Next.

2. Configuration Settings Tab

You will need to navigate through the folder tree on the left (Computer Configuration > Adobe…) to find each setting. Because these settings apply to both “Reader” and “Acrobat”, you may need to set them in both folders if you manage both applications.

Note: The exact path depends on the version of the ADMX file you imported, but typically follows the structure below.

Setting Name in Request	Value	Typical ADMX Path
Enable Protected Mode at startup	Enabled	Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC > Security > Sandbox Protections
Show messages when I launch Acrobat	Disabled	Adobe Acrobat DC > Preferences > General
Show messages when I launch Reader	Disabled	Adobe Reader DC > Preferences > General
Don’t show messages while viewing a document	Enabled	Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC > Preferences > General
Turn off user participation in the feedback program	Enabled	Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC > Preferences > General
Disable automatic updates	Enabled	Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC > Preferences > Updater
Protected View (Acrobat)	Enabled	Adobe Acrobat DC > Security > Protected View

• Tip: Since your request lists “Disable automatic updates” and “Feedback program” twice, ensure you configure these in both the Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader folders if they exist separately in your ADMX template.

3. Assignments Tab

• Included groups: Select the device group you wish to target (e.g., “All Corporate Windows Devices” or a specific testing group).
• Click Next.

4. Review + Create

• Review your settings to ensure they match the requirement.
• Click Create
