On April 16, between 2:25 P.M. ET and 4:12 P.M. ET, the domain zoom.us was not available due to a server block by GoDaddy Registry. This block was the result of a communication error between Zoom’s domain registrar, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy Registry, which resulted in GoDaddy Registry mistakenly shutting down zoom.us domain. Zoom, Markmonitor, and GoDaddy worked quickly to identify and remove the block, which restored service to the domain zoom.us. There was no product, security or network failure at Zoom during the outage. GoDaddy and Markmonitor are working together to prevent this from happening again.

Zoom Workspace updates require admin permissions

Can someone help me understand how to get Zoom Workspace to auto-update without requiring local admin permissions?

 

I'm pushing out the Zoom Workspace 6 .msi installer with ZoomAutoUpdate=true ZConfig="AU2_EnableAutoUpdate=1". We find that users can update once without admin permissions, but subsequent version updates prompt for admin.

 

I didn't have this problem with the 5.x version of Zoom using the ZoomAutoUpdate=true ZConfig="EnableSilentAutoUpdate=1" parameter. In fact, users who have been auto-updating since version 5 still aren't having problems now.

I think I figured out the problem: Sophos Endpoint was blocking ZoomCptService from being created during an update. That's why users were able to update once: ZoomCptService was created as part of the original MSI install, but the antivirus blocked Zoom from creating a new ZoomCptService during an update.
