MicrosoftProblem/Question with Update Channel in GPO for O365 and Office 2019
We have a mixed deployment with Office 365 and Office 2019 clients. In GPO we configured the https://admx.help/?Category=Office2016&Policy=office16.Office.Microsoft.Policies.Windows::L_UpdateBranch setting to "Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel".
This works fine for the O365 clients. But it breaks the update function for Office 2019. They never install any updates. After manually click on "Update Now" button, it says "You're up to date" and shows an older build nr. which doesn't include the current security- and bugfixes.
After changing the "Update Channel" setting in GPO to "Not configured" it works fine on the Office 2019 installations. I was able to update them without a problem.
But I don't understand why this is not working with "Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel"? The O365 installations has configured this setting additionally in configuration.xml which is used during installation, therefore we don't have to set this in GPO. But if we would change it later eg to "Monthly Enterprise Channel" we can not do this anymore by GPO because it breaks the Office 2019 installations.
Do someone has an idea how to manage this Channel settings by GPO for both Office versions?
