Command Line
Once you've used the Adobe Customization Wizard 10 to create a .mst, use the following for a silent install:

msiexec /i "FullPathToMSI\AcroPro.msi" TRANSFORMS="FullPathToMSI\AcroPro.mst" /qn

Make sure you put your serial number in the transform using the Customization Wizard first.

Note
You can also modify, the ABCPY.ini file with appropriate information to setup your silent installation:

[OEM Install]
ISX_SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
USERNAME=
COMPANYNAME=
INSTALLDIR=
ALLOW_LOCKDOWN_BROWSE=YES
ALLOW_LOCKDOWN_MEDIA=YES
ARPHELPLINK=
ARPHELPTELEPHONE=
ARPNOMODIFY=
;ARPNOMODIFY=YES disables the "Change" button in Add/Remove Programs

then you can launch the installer with msiexec /i AcroPro.msi /qn , without modifying the msi at all.

Security
To lock menuitems use the following way:

1. go to: http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/65.cfm
2. download the Menu/Toolbar Item Report
3. extract this file and copy the file PDFScript_MenuItemReport.js to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts
4. open one *.pdf file
5. use the menu item or the button "Customize Quick Tools" to load "Menu list" in your menu bar
6. now you can load this new menu item to create one menu item report

Here you'll find all menu items which can be lock. The lock code will be placed in the file "hidemenu.js" in the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts

see this example to lock "product registration":

//HideMenu.js

// [Help - Product Registration]
app.hideMenuItem("AMTDynamic1");

Thanks a lot

Note
Use DISABLEDESKTOPSHORTCUT property (set to anything you want) to, yes, disable desktop shortcuts.

DISABLE_CACHE (again, set to anything) to disable caching of the package.

ISX_SERIALNUMBER is (as mentioned previously) used for the serial number.

Check the property table for the various EULA properties and reset as required.

To get the full lockdown I had to use:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\FeatureLockDown
Rather than:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown

As noted in some articles online.

Note

Here is the command line that I used:

@echo off

 

msiexec.exe /i "\\servername\location\acropro.msi” EULA_ACCEPT=NO REGISTRATION_SUPPRESS=YES SUITEMODE=1 INSTALLLEVEL=101 AS_DISABLE_LEGACY_COLOR=1 IGNOREAAM=1 TRANSFORMS=en_GB.mst /qn

 

msiexec.exe /p “\\servername\location\AcrobatUpd1011.msp” /qn

 

This brings down the update too, also I did have problems when running with normal users as it writes to C:\Program Data so you need to relax the following permisisons:

C:\ProgramData\Adobe

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe

I gave them modify rights and it works, also you need to have a reboot for this to work.

Note
Using Adobe Customization Wizard X we can set the default PDF reader or We can use properties to set Adobe Acrobat not to take ownership of the default PDF file extension, by leaving Adobe Reader as the default PDF reader.

For version 10.0 & higher use the property LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=YES

YES - prevents the new installation from taking over PDF ownership. 
NO - allows the new install to own opening PDFs. 

For version 11.0 & higher use the property OWNERSHIP_STATE=0.

0: Do not take ownership.
1: Take ownership for the current user. 
2: Take ownership for all existing and new users.

Command Line
You can display and print a PDF file with Acrobat and Adobe Reader from the command line. These commands are unsupported, but have worked for some developers. There is no documentation for these commands other than what is listed below.

Note:All examples below use Adobe Reader, but apply to Acrobat as well. If you are using Acrobat, substitute Acrobat.exe for AcroRd32.exe on the command line.

AcroRd32.exe pathname — Start Adobe Reader and display the file. The full path must be provided.

This command can accept the following options.

/n Start a separate instance of Acrobat or Adobe Reader, even if one is currently open.
/s Suppress the splash screen.
/o Suppress the open file dialog box.
/h Start Acrobat or Adobe Reader in a minimized window.

AcroRd32.exe /p pathname — Start Adobe Reader and display the Print dialog box.

AcroRd32.exe /t path "printername" "drivername" "portname" — Start Adobe Reader and print a file while suppressing the Print dialog box. The path must be fully specified.

The four parameters of the /t option evaluate to path, printername, drivername, and portname (all strings).
printername — The name of your printer.
drivername — Your printer driver’s name, as it appears in your printer’s properties.
portname — The printer’s port. portname cannot contain any "/" characters; if it does, output is routed to the default port for that printer.
