UPDATE JANUARY 2020: SOLVED: Setup Office365ProPlus To Using Windows 10 Delivery Optimization
____________
There are three ways to patch Office 2016 from Office365 :
- Automatically from Microsoft through their 'Content Delivery Network' (default)
- Using a distribution point that you update periodically
- Using System Center that pulls its updates from the Microsoft Content Network
What you can't do is control Office365 updates through WSUS. Wait a minute, you say you saw a WSUS category named OFFICE365 CLIENT and the research says that it is the Office 2016 updates. That is true, but shockingly it does not work in WSUS. That category was added for System Center:
…Deploying these updates without Configuration Manager is not supported, so the content described above is essentially useless to a WSUS standalone administrator… we recommend that you… deselect the Office 365 Client product so that WSUS does not sync this content from Microsoft Update…
…There are no plans to support this via WSUS standalone at this time. My preference would be to support this scenario without the use of this workaround, which is not possible with the current implementation.
Also, how can it be that Windows Update does not handle the updates for Office365 versions of Office 2016? Windows Update does not push updates to Click to Run software which is what Office 365 Office 2016 is. Click-to-Run is a Microsoft technology that virtualizes programs (like a Virtual Machine, but a Virtual App). For more information on Click to Run, read THIS.
