To prepare Acrobat Professional 9 for silent installation, you will need to obtain the Adobe Customization Wizard from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3993 so that you can prepare the package for deployment. Once you've installed and started the Customization Wizard, use File -> Copy Package to copy the package from the CD to a location where you can modify it.
You will probably need a volume license so that you can use the same key across multiple computers (but note that under certain circumstances (as set forth in section 2.4 of the EULA) you might legitimately have two computers with the same key even without using a volume license). The overhead of maintaining separate keys may not be worth the benefits of automated software deployment.
Use the Customization Wizard to enter your serial number and select the options you want. Consider:
- Installation Options
- Run Installation: silently
- If reboot required at end of installation: Suppress reboot
- Shortcuts
- Remove desktop icon
- EULA and Document Status
- Suppress display of End User License Agreement (EULA)
The customization wizard can produce a bare MST file or an MST and a modified setup.ini. If you use the both, you can launch setup.exe and have it do your silent installation for you; otherwise, you can use msiexec with the MST.
You should obtain security updates and patches from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows or from http://www.adobe.com/support/security/index.html
Note that patches don't always bump the version number in the main Acrobat.exe and Acrobat.dll files. It's important to figure out which files a particular patch touches and to check their version numbers; otherwise, patches apply and request a reboot but the check conditions won't be satisfied, leading to constant reboots.

Acrobat 9 as an administrative deployment
Some of the .msp files takes a very long time to install. You might want to make an administrative install, and apply the patches to the administrative install instead.
Please note: Adobe's update regime is that only quarterly updates can be updated with new quarterly updates. If you have made an administrative install, and apply a non-quarterly update, you cannot apply a new quarterly update to it. More info can be found at Adobe: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/498/cpsid_49880.html
To make an administrative deployment, run msiexec /a path_to_msi.msi TRANSFORMS="path_to_your_language_id.mst" and choose where you want the administrative deployment to reside.
Then you run msiexec /a path_to_administrative_deployment/acropro.msi /p path_to_quarterly_update.msp for each of the quarterly updates. You might want to snapshot this deployment, before applying non-quarterly updates, so you will not have to redo the whole process on a new quarterly update.
You can use Adobe Customization Wizard (ACW) on the administrative install, and make a wpkg package that installs the administrative install, applying the mst made from ACW.
For upgrades, you can run "msiexec /i <path of msi on AIP> REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus".
