Why does Microsoft AutoUpdate keep popping up?
If you check the activity monitor, you may find that the program is running in the background and is consuming a significant amount of CPU resources. Things continue to get worse.

Microsoft’s Paul Bowden announced Tuesday at Virtual JNUC 2021 that the company is now providing additional update channels that allow updates to be deferred for specific periods of timeand even pause updates for certain Microsoft Office for Mac settings.

Although most of these new options have been announced at JNUC, and Jamf Pro has its own save for its configuration, Mac administrators who choose a different MDM can also start using them with the most appropriate custom configuration profiles.
I’m increasingly reaching out to Paul for details and clarification on these exciting new features. Read on for more information.

MAUCacheAdmin had to upgrade to version 3.0 this afternoon due to changes to the CDN infrastructure that delivers updates to Microsoft Office for Mac. As reported yesterday in the #microsoft-autoupdate channel via MacAdmin Slack, version 2.9 flagged all packages as broken and re-downloaded them all at once.
Excerpt from notes by Paul Commit Bowden:
In the October 2021 update, Microsoft introduced a new CDN namespace (officecdnmac.microsoft.com) thatIt still supports HTTP/2
However, the previous version of MAUCacheAdmin relied on the HTTP/1.1 Content-Length header, which in HTTP/2 is almost entirely lowercase
So:
1. Changed awk search associated with -i grep as new CDN can still send HTTP/1.1 response in some cases
2. Changing the basic URL definitions to a different namespace from officecdnmac.microsoft.comSome new issues have also been fixed:
* Removed MAU definition 3.x
* Added 365/2021 to an already existing title from 2019 (visual change only)
* Brand year updated

Microsoft Office officially ended shipping macOS 10.12 Sierra last week with these 16.31 updates. For MacAdmins, it wasn’t Zap when Office, the Mac To Gain team, announced the macOS N-2 support plan on September 9, 2018. A brand new surprise is a new Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) alert urging users to upgrade to macOS Catalina.
This is obviously an issue in managed environments where users cannot update directly from the App Store. While most administrators should focus their specific efforts on updating computers to the best and latestth version of macOS, in places where computers must remain on Sierra or earlier, it may be desirable to remove this dialog box. This
Fortunately, this can be extended with a configuration profile, see below for details.

Microsoft Office 16.28, released on Tuesday, includes a new user privacy dialog and a number of settings changes that control privacy settings and telemetry. This new dialog cannot be directly hidden for Office 365 users, but it can be hidden for 2019 volume license users.
Microsoft provided documentation, wishes, and requirements for managing privacy controls for Office for Mac in response to these new trends, and Paul Bowden provided the main slide “Privacy and Consent” (PDF version) from the series of video conferences hosted by the last two or three. (Sorry, the frames with the dial are not available.)
Thanks to the hard work of the Office for Mac team, you can control most of these settings through configuration profiles. Read on for an overview of specific changes and highlights.

Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) version 4.13, released in mid-July, adds the ability to set update delays for Office applications. Am I one of my Mac admins giving feedback to Microsoft developers since last October, and am I really excited that this feature will be implemented?
This new feature even changes the way updates are handled for certain changes, as described in my “Combined Approach to Microsoft Office Update Management” article.
The documentation provided by Microsoft regarding this great feature is pretty good. But at this point, there has certainly been a lot of confusion among Slack Mac admins to get it to work, and there are usually a few quirks to be aware of. If you’re interested in the details, keep reading.
