I discovered that the problem is the Microsoft AutoUpdate app, and I had to replace it on all Macs, located here:
/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app
It seemed to have gotten corrupted in the last MS update, and I had the same issue.
1. Created a script to delete the existing install
!/bin/bash
consoleuser=$(ls -l /dev/console | awk '{ print $3 }')
echo "logged in user is" $consoleuser
pkill -f "Microsoft AutoUpdate"
folders=(
"/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/"
"/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.autoupdate2.plist"
# "/Users/$consoleuser/Library/Application Support/Microsoft AU Daemon"
"/Users/$consoleuser/Library/Application Support/Microsoft AutoUpdate"
"/Users/$consoleuser/Library/Application Support/com.microsoft.OneDriveStandaloneUpdater/"
"/Users/$consoleuser/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Update Assistant/"
)
search="*"
for i in "${folders[@]}"
do
echo "removing folder ${i}"
rm -rf "${i}"
done
2. Created a new policy to run the script and included the "Microsoft_AutoUpdate_4.33.21031401_Updater.pkg" package installer to reinstall MS Update.
