Importance of same version of Flash on client & server
This is a two part question:
1. When using Flash Multi-Media Redirection (FMMR), how important is it for the version of Flash to be the same on both the TS/RDSH server and the end user access device?
2. What is the best practice for updating Flash on the clients/servers? Is it better to first upgrade the server, or should you upgrade the clients before upgrading the server? If there are multiple servers in the environment, how should the rolling update be handled?
Thanks!

1. They have to be the same version. In theory they should be at the same point release level, so 10.x at one side and 10.x on the other. In practice I would try to keep them exactly the same where I can.
2. I would update clients first so if something goes wrong you don’t impact everyone (TS)

OK, so what happens when they aren't the same version (either the end user updates independently of the enterprise or Adobe releases 11.x)? Does FMMR notify the user or the administrator? Does FMMR step aside and content gets rendered on the host?
Thanks!

I am nore sure. There might be no problem but we don’t notify the user. I think we will just attempt FMMR when it is enabled.

If you have mismatched versions of the Flash Player, or if there's any other reason Flash redirection can't work (e.g. non-supported access point) then you default back to rendering on the server and a stream of bitmaps.
