Hi Dave,
Following your article on managing Office 365 update from CDN, I got started with preparatory work on how I can switch to managing update through GP but upon running some further tests I have observed that CDN actually downloads more data than what SCCM client does from distribution point.
In my environment, we have Office deployed in 3 product languages(en-us, pt-br, de-de) and additional proofing languages(french, spanish, russian, norwegian). When downloading the update from CDN for this configuration, office downloads 1.90 GB and software center downloads 1.08 GB
BTW, I ran the upgrade from 16.0.11328.20368 to 16.0.11929.20708
The whole reason we thought of switching to CDN is to reduce the network bandwidth and to direct more and more traffic to Internet. According to Microsoft, the update size should be approx 400MB and knowing that I've office in 3 main languages, this should exponentially grow to 1.2 GB which configMgr client complies to but Office do not.

Can you tell me why so much of size difference?
