Migrating product from SCUP to PMPC

Hi.  We've published Adobe Reader/Acrobat manually via Adobe's catalogs and SCUP for years, before we ever had PatchMyPC.  Since PatchMyPC can handle Adobe's products, and now that SCUP is deprecated, we'd like to switch to using PMPC for the Adobe stuff just like we do for all our other third party patching.

What's the best/smoothest way to accomplish this?

My idea here was do do the following, but I'm not sure if I'm overthinking it or missing anything:
1. Expire and republish the last stuff that's still current in SCUP.
2. Sync the Config Manager update point and make sure those updates are showing as expired
3. Add the appropriate Adobe items in the PMPC Publisher settings
4. Modify our ADRs as needed
5. Check in SCCM first thing in the morning, to make sure everything automated overnight as expected
6. Address any issues

Sound good?

Hi JC-WH,

Yes, those are the steps I'd start with.
You already have all the groundwork for getting the PMPC updates into ConfigMgr.
It would just be a matter of modifying your ADRs to account for Title = Adobe and Vendor = "Patch My PC"

Let us know how things go.

In the Configuration Manager console, synchronize the software update point to ensure the expired SCUP updates are marked as expired.
