My Flash Player Settings panel looks like this:
Mms.cfg contains: (encoded w/ UTF-8)
AutoUpdateDisable=1
AutoUpdateInterval=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
Explain to me why users are now receiving prompts that there is a flash update available? Our users do not have local administrator and updates cannot be installed by the user.

Not sure, but I believe this old Flash Player version (11.1) may not use the mmf.cfg settings, but the Flash Player Settings Panel (which is set to check for updates).
Install or deploy the latest Flash Player, and it should use the mmf.cfg setting.

The mms.cfg settings should disable the update notification, though your setting of
AutoUpdateInterval=0
tells Flash Player to check for updates every time it starts. However, this should be overridden by AutoUpdateDisable=1. Can you double check the location of the mms.cfg file on an effected system? Could send me a copy (ccampbel@adobe.com) and let me know what OS/browser combination is being used?
Thanks,
Chris

The OS, Flash version(s), and file locations are as follows:
Windows 7 x64
Internet Explorer 9
Flash Player 11.1.102.55 - 32-bit Active X
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
Flash Player 11.1.102.55 - 64-bit Active X
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
So far I can recreate the scenario easily. Initially, after installing Flash (via SCCM) I don't have updates disabled. After I deploy the mms.cfg to a system, I restart. After the restart the user is prompted to install the latest Flash update. I saw this consistently on 26 machines yesterday.

Thank you. Replied by email with a request for your mms.cfg file.
