Once Office is installed it will periodically check for updates from the location specified. I’m going to be using a local network path for this post.
When configuring your Office configuration XML file, you can specify the location that Office should get updates from. To manage updates, you can use SCCM, a local network path, or simply download the updates from the Office CDN (Content Distribution Network). Updates for Office 2019/Office 365 are handled completely differently due to the Click-to-Run installation. If you currently use WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) then you’ll see that there’s an entry for Office 2019 and Office 365 in the product list, however in my testing this doesn’t actually do anything. You can generate one on the Office 365 Client Configuration Service, however before you do you’ll need to be aware of some of the changes regarding how updates are handled in Office 2019/Office 365. Office 365 Client Configuration ServiceĬonfiguration of the Office 2019/Office 365 install is now done via an XML file.Download Office 2019/365/2016 ADMX files for Group Policy.Download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) from Microsoft here.Office 2019/Office 365 is now only available as a ‘Click-to-Run’ installation, which means we’ll need to change how we package, deploy and update Office 2019 or Office 365. If you’re familiar with deploying Office 2016 or any previous version, then the first big change when looking into Office 2019 or Office 365 is that there is no longer an MSI installer.
