Hello All,

I am looking for a solution to update MS Office using terminal Command or from a Script.
Is it possible to run AutoUpdate.app from the following location i.e. /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app using terminal command or Script? Is there any silent parameter to invoke the AutoUpdate.app using CLI. and then look for available updates. If updates available then is it possible to update them using command line or Script?
Kindly Advice.

Regards,
SonuW

    1. Be more patient. A lot of your posts have the initial post and then a follow up merely an hour later asking again.
    2. The Office updater is not scriptable. Thus, if you want a silent or automated installation, download the updater packages themselves and deploy through a Casper policy.
