Hello everyone,

I’m having trouble configuring Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU). I created a test profile, but the timer isn’t appearing. I suspect there might be an error in my configuration.

Here are the details:

Preference Domain: com.microsoft.autoupdate2

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>AcknowledgedDataCollectionPolicy</key>
<string>RequiredDataOnly</string>
<key>ChannelName</key>
<string>Current</string>
<key>DisableInsiderCheckbox</key>
<true/>
<key>EnableCheckForUpdatesButton</key>
<false/>
<key>HowToCheck</key>
<string>AutomaticDownload</string>
<key>IgnoreUIOpenAfterInstall</key>
<true/>
<key>UpdateCheckInterval</key>
<integer>5</integer>
<key>UpdateDeadline.DaysBeforeForcedQuit</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>UpdateDeadline.FinalCountDown</key>
<integer>5</integer>
<key>UpdateDeadline.StartAutomaticUpdates</key>
<integer>0</integer>
</dict>
</plist>

Notifications Preference Domain: com.microsoft.autoupdate.fba

If anyone has suggestions about what might be wrong, I’d really appreciate the help !

Instead of crafting your own plist, you might consider using the AutoUpdate manifest already added to computer configuration profiles > Application & Custom Settings > External Applications. You should find most of the keys and their available values there.
