Not possible to join Insider channel
Hi all, i try to join the insider channel on my new MacBookAir but i can´t to search for updates. In all office apps the Button "Search for new updates" are missing and in the MicrosoftAutoUpdate the apps also not listed. The Office Apps were distributed by Intune, is it possibly because of that? Do I still need to create a config that changes the plist? If so, which one or how should it look like?Re: Not possible to join Insider channel
Hi Evan_Bolin , I know the instructions but by reading them again I got a little hint. So far I have downloaded the apps from the AppStore, but the PLIST only works for apps that were installed via a pkg. Is there also a solution for the apps from the AppStore? So to get the AppStore Office Suite into the Insider Channel? For the pkg version I have done it now 🙂 Thanks, PatrickRe: Office 365 Plans/Download
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.cabRe: Office 365 Plans/Download
ChrisHoardMVP Thanks a lot for your information :) But this is really uncomfortable :( I was hoping there was another way, because i have to change monthly the version manually (after new Security Updates released). The testphase is still ongoing with the new version 1808. I think it would be a good idea if this could be set in the XML in the future, because we update the sources automatically.Office 365 Plans/Download
Hello, i have a question about the "Download" / "Delivery" from Office 365. We use a "normal" configuration.xml file to download the Office 365 source files. The settings in the XML File points to the "Semi-Annual-Channel". All clients use this downloaded sources as update source. Now MS has released the new Office Version 1808 in the Semi-Annual-Channel too and we actually wont update to the new 1808 version. The onliest way we guess to stay in the version 1803 is to configuere the explicite version in the configuration.xml file or isnt it? Is there any parameter to use the "second" Version in the Semi-Annual-Channel? Thanks in advance
