Wondering how to get the .msi file that I need to patch the domain workstations using Windows Group Policy. The only file Adobe provides is an .exe file for the latest update. v11.0.01

As an alternative to what Baigley has suggested, you can use the 11.0.00 MSI as released by Adobe and patch it using the latest 11.0.01 patch to create a GPO package to be deployed across your network as below.
1. Download the 11.0.00 MSI from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.00/en_US/AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi
2. Download the 11.0.01 MSP from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.01/misc/AdbeRdrUpd11001.msp
3. Create an AIP using the MSI downloaded in step 1 above by the following command:
msiexec /a <path to MSI downloaded>
In the subsequent dialogs provide a location wherein to create the AIP (for instance C:\AIP)
4. Once the AIP is created, patch it with the latest 11.0.01 installer by the below command.
msiexec /a C:\AIP\AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi /p <path to MSP downloaded in Step 2>
This will create the GPO Package for 11.0.01 Reader, ready to be deployed in your network.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
