Deploy updates for Office 2016 for mac?

[xlandhenry]

The guide on TechNet says updates of Office 2016 for Mac are provided as individual app bundles but where are we supposed to download these to our local network for distributing? The updates are all huge and I don't want the users to fecth them directly from Microsoft. And does it mean that the updates are cumulative and I can skip older ones and only install the latest for each app? Thanks.

If managed desktops, download to a machine and user Apple Remote Desktop to distribute.

 

If lightly managed or byod, cache server will save your bandwidth and client devices can download and install automatically.

Thanks for your reply. But what I meant to ask was where Microsoft AutoUpdate stores the downloaded packages? Do I just update one of my clients and copy those .app files from Application folder?

where Microsoft AutoUpdate stores the downloaded packages?

It's probably easier to download the updates directly from Microsoft and then deploy them via ARD etc.

Thanks Arthur, that will also do the job. Had never been used to downloading updates directly from MS Support sites.

Microsoft released new updates yesterday.
