Issue/Introduction

Opened the Console > Actions > Software > Patch Remediation Center; highlighted Adobe Bulletin (Ex. APSB17-32), right-click > Download Packages; found the process fails.

Network tool shows the ftp.adobe.com site appears to use load balancing, for there are two IP's being accessed; either 193.104.215.67 or 192.147.130.111. Found the logs display errors every time the traffic is directed to use 193.104.215.67.

Failed to download Adobe Bulletin

Environment

Cause

Resolution

Please contact Adobe Support for further review of download management from the vendor.

Workaround: Found editing the host file on the SMP Server; forcing the download through IP 192.147.130.111 resolved the issue.
