Thanks to Dom Adobe in the MacAdmins Slack for this tip! Unfortunately, in my brief testing, I couldnвЂ™t get it to detect Flash Player, so it wouldnвЂ™t generate the necessary entries in its XML file.ДЄlternatively, you could just run this command (as root): '/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Flash Player Install Manager.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Flash Player Install Manager' -uninstall With this, you could generate an XML file for it to use, then comment out everything except the entry for Flash Player, then package it all up with a script to run it silently. As well as it being available as a standalone download you can also find it in /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Flash Player Install Manager.appДЄdobe also provide the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool. If your users are admins, and you can rely on them to do the needful, then thatвЂ™s fine and thereвЂ™s nothing else for you to do. And there are a few ways to do the deedвЂ¦ДЄdobe provide a GUI uninstaller for Flash. Because the slow realisation dawns on you how are you going to automate the removal of this on all the computers you manage? Since it wonвЂ™t get any more updates, that means any as-yet-undiscovered security vulnerabilities will remain unpatched. Then, as the serotonin wears off, the pain sets in. Pleasure, in that you wonвЂ™t have to manage the deployment of updates for one of the most frequently updated software titles ever (werenвЂ™t you using Autopkg so you didnвЂ™t have to anyway?). As we enter a new decade, we say goodbye to this venerable piece of the interwebs, as it goes End of Life later this year.ДЄs an admin, the announcement of Flash PlayerвЂ™s demise a mixed bag. All good things must come to an end and love it or hate it, AdobeвЂ™s Flash Player is no exception. So, weвЂ™re approaching a milestone in computing history. IвЂ™m learning a huge amount from a fantastic team of wonderful people as I settle into the new role.

ItвЂ™s been a huge change and IвЂ™m loving every minute. ThatвЂ™s because I joined dataJAR as a Systems Engineer in October after 15 years of working at the University of East London.
