I've deployed Office 365 Pro Plus using ODT at the beginning of the year. At first I expected O365 updates to flow through WSUS as there are options for Office 2016/2019/365 client products. But after doing some reading it appears WSUS does NOT push out O365 Pro Plus client updates.
I spoke to someone who is under the impression that I in order for me to update my existing O365 client installations I need to reconfigure my ODT setup and ask each of my users to re-run this install. But I'd rather not get the users involved if at all possible. They also mentioned I could ask everyone to manually request updates from within the O365 client. But, again, this requires user intervention.
So my questions, that I can't seem to find concrete answers to.:
1. WSUS no longer can be used to facilitate Office client updates?
2. We're on O365 1902 (build 11328.20146). I manually run updates and am now on 1902 (build 11328.20392). The latest version is 1906 (build 11727.20230). Is 11328.20146 the equivalent of 11727.20230? If not how can I move to the latest 1906 (11727.20320)?
3. Is there anyway to get any of these updates done without user intervention? Is there possibly a setting I can change in the installed client via GPO, powershell or registry to remotely and silently kickoff an update inquiry?
4. If not is there a silent way to modify the ODT settings on the client? My Org Profile is already set to Standard release - broadly. My ODT .xml file channel = broad and ForceUpgrade=True.
