: An incorrect statement regarding the suite deltas has now been corrected.
new logic in MAU to apply suite delta updates (more below). the ability to update MAU itself with the same admin privileges and silent update behavior.
Now MAU 3.9, released in April 2017, has added:
MAU 3.8, released in October 2016, added controls over Caching, Manifest, and the ability to automatically download and install updates in the background. MAU 3.6, released in August 2016, added the ability for users to update apps without needing admin privileges. Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) has had two new features added. While the above MGMT200 training video from Paul goes into additional details. Eric Holtam has a sample profile location here if you would like to view it. At this time, not all keys are manageable via this method but the foundation is now built, meaning Microsoft can add additional keys as needed. Now with 15.33+ we get some of this control back. The above rational is great but it came as major disappointment from the community since we now had much less control over the applications. Solved a performance limitation that the team was hitting with CFPreferences due to how many preferences the Office apps have. Share code between all the platforms that office runs on: macOS, Window, iOS, etc. However this change allowed Office developers to: I remember hearing about this change at PSU MacAdmins Conference in 2015 from William Smith and thought it was a silly move. When Office 2016 for Mac was released it was found very early that the preferences back-end had moved from CFPreferences (Apple native) to a sqlite database.
Suite-Wide Pref SupportĪnother highly requested feature from macadmins, suite wide preferences is now available with the drop of 15.33. I have gone through both videos at this time and highly recommend them. You can view the first video for free while the second course currently has a nominal fee that helps cover the site costs. Paul Bowden has been hard at work once again and has created a few fantastic Mac IT training videos. Honestly, since I finished college in December I have not used a Microsoft product on my mac except for Microsoft Remote Desktop.Īnyways without further ado… Training Videos Many of these updates have been bug and feature related which is great…I just do not see them as I am not a user. Office 2016 has had a few updates since my last post on the topic however most of these simply don’t apply to me as an admin of the mac platform.
