Yes you can set to check for updates automatically in the XML. See here

Look at update attribute :D

Hi Chris,
you dont understand me and I didn't explain it right :)
We update the sources on a central server with the configuration.xml and all clients check the updates automatically.
The problem now is that the server check daily if a new version is online. We use Powershell and and use the MRO.cab to check the actually released version.
If the MRO.cab contains a newer Version we start the download (setup.exe /download configuration.xml). Now we have updated sources and the clients can update the Office Suite.
Now we have to change the configuration.xml manually with the newest build in the version 1803. And download them indipendence of the MRO.cab. Because the MRO.cab retruns only the latest version (1808)
We check the MRO.cab from this site: http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/7ffbc6bf-bc32-4f92-8982-f9dd17fd3114/Office/Data/MRO.cab
- Ah I see. I think I understand
In that case, I would recommend you use multiple XML's for specific users
> You would have one XML for 1803 with no updates applied
> You would have one Versionless XML for users which you want updates (Optional)
It is really a case of your use scenarios
