Starting with version 4.13 of Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU), you can set a deadline for when updates are required to be installed on a user's device. Version 4.13 was released on July 18, 2019.

Users will receive notifications about the upcoming deadline and can temporarily postpone the updates from being installed. But once the deadline is reached, any applications the user has open will be closed and the updates applied.

Options for setting a deadline

You can set a deadline for any of the following applications:

  • An individual application, such as just Word.
  • A group of applications, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
  • All Microsoft applications that are updated by MAU. For example, Skype for Business, Remote Desktop, and Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP).

The default is for the deadline to apply to all applications that receive updates from MAU.

When you specify a deadline, you can configure the deadline in either of these two ways:

  • A specific date and time
  • A certain number of days after the update is detected

If you use a specific date and time for the deadline, it's tied to a specific version that you're updating to. That means for the next set of updates that Microsoft releases, you would need to configure a new date and time for the deadline.

Stack download for pc. If you use a certain number of days for the deadline, you can re-use that deadline for future updates that Microsoft releases. The number of days is calculated from when an update is detected by MAU.

You can also configure how many days in advance of the deadline that Automatic Download and Install mode begins. This is optional and the default is 3 days (72 hours) before the deadline.

Preference settings for deadlines

The following are the preference settings for configuring a deadline. These keys are CFPreferences-compatible, which means that they can be set by using enterprise management software for Mac, such as Jamf Pro.

Note

A deadline can be set within the user configuration profile or the management configuration profile. Settings in the management configuration profile take precedence, because those settings are also written to the user configuration profile.

Configure a deadline for a certain number of days after the update is detected

To configure a deadline that is a certain number of days after the update is detected, use the following preference setting.

Domaincom.microsoft.autoupdate2
KeyUpdateDeadline.DaysBeforeForcedQuit
Data TypeInteger
Possible valuesvarious (example: 5)
CommentsThere is no default value.

For example, if you want to configure a deadline of 5 days after an update for Excel is detected, you can use the following:

If you want to configure a deadline of 4 days for Excel and 7 days for PowerPoint, you can use the following:

Microsoft Autoupdate Mac Virus

Microsoft autoupdate app

Configure a deadline for a specific date and time

To configure a deadline for a specific date and time, use the following preference setting.

Domaincom.microsoft.autoupdate2
KeyUpdateDeadline.ApplicationsForcedUpdateSchedule
Data TypeDictionary
Possible valuesvarious (see examples below)
CommentsThere is no default value.
The date and time value should be specified in UTC format.

For example, if you want to configure a specific date and time for a deadline for an Excel update, you can use the following:

Acrobat reader latest version for windows 8 1 free download. If you want to configure a specific date and time for a deadline for Word and Outlook, you can use the following:

Configure Automatic Download and Install mode

To configure how many days in advance of the deadline that Automatic Download and Install mode begins, use the following preference setting.

Domaincom.microsoft.autoupdate2
KeyUpdateDeadline.StartAutomaticUpdates
Data TypeInteger
Possible valuesvarious (example: 2)
CommentsThis is an optional setting.
The default value is 3.
Using this preference setting will enable Automatic Download and Install mode for MAU regardless of the current MAU setting on the device. After the deadline is reached, MAU will revert to the previous setting on the device.

For example, if you want to configure Automatic Download and Install mode to being 2 days before the deadline, you can use the following.

Deadline notifications for users

After Automatic Download and Install mode is turned on, MAU automatically updates any applications that are closed.

If applications are open and can't be updated, then users see a notification about the upcoming deadline. At that point, users can save their work, close their open applications, and have MAU apply the updates. If users do that, they won't see any more notifications about the deadline for those applications.

If users don't want to apply the updates at that time, they can postpone the updates. If they choose to postpone, they will receive other notifications at a later time reminding them about the deadline. For example, with the first notification, users can choose to be reminded again in a certain number of hours. But users can't postpone the updates beyond the deadline.

When the deadline is an hour away, users get a persistent notification along with a timer that counts down the minutes until the deadline. If the deadline arrives and users haven't saved their work and closed their applications, MAU will forcibly close the applications, without saving the data, and starts to apply the updates.

Turn off a deadline

If you have set a deadline in the management configuration profile, you should turn off the deadline by setting empty values in your management configuration profile, as shown in the following example.

If you just delete the management configuration profile, the deadline isn't actually turned off. That's because the deadline settings still exist in the user configuration profile, because the settings were originally written to the user configuration profile from the management configuration profile.

If you configured a deadline for a specific date and time, once that date and time have passed, MAU deletes those values from the relevant config profiles.

Additional information about MAU deadlines

  • Deadlines can be configured regardless of where MAU is looking for the updates. For example, deadlines work if MAU is getting updates directly from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) on the internet of if MAU is getting updates from a MAU caching server within your local network.
  • If you have configured the deadline to be a certain number of days after an update is detected, and then MAU detects a new update, the deadline will be reset to apply to the new update.
  • If you have specified a deadline for all applications, you can still configure a more specific deadline for one of the applications. For example, you can configure a deadline of 7 days for all applications, and then specify that the deadline for Excel is 4 days.
  • Instead of configuring a specific date and time for a deadline for a specific version, you can configure that deadline to be a certain number of days after that specific version is detected by MAU.
  • If no values are set for UpdateDeadline.DaysBeforeForcedQuit or UpdateDeadline.StartAutomaticUpdates in the user configuration profile or management configuration profile, macOS automatically generates and inserts empty values for those keys in the user configuration profile. This does not set any deadlines.

Symptoms

And they call it summer full movie download. By default, installations of Microsoft Office are configured to automatically update your Office installation when new updates are made publicly available. However, if you examine the Account section of the backstage, you may see that updates are disabled or that the command to manage updates is disabled or hidden. For example, the following figure indicates that updates are disabled in the backstage.

Cause

This issue occurs if updates have been manually disable or are managed through Group Policy settings.

Resolution

We recommend that you keep automatic updating enabled for Office installations because this configuration allows Office to automatically update with the latest fixes and security features. To re-enable automatic updates for Office, follow the steps below.

  • Manually configure automatic updates

    If your Office installation is not managed by Group Policy, you can manually re-enable automatic updates by following these steps. If you cannot follow these steps because the Update Options control is disabled or missing, your updates are being managed by Group Policy.

    1. Start any program.
    2. On the File tab, select Account.
      Note: In Outlook, select Office Account.
    3. On the right side, select Update Options, and then select Enable Updates.
    4. If you are asked whether you want to let Microsoft Office make changes to your computer, select Yes.
  • Automatic updates managed by Group Policy

    Warning

    Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.

    If you cannot follow the steps in the 'Manually configure automatic updates' section, this is because the Update Options control is disabled or missing due to a Group Policy. For example, the following figure shows the Update Options control when the Enable Updates option is hidden through a Group Policy:

    To examine the registry data that is associated with the Group Policy settings which control this feature, follow these steps:

    1. Start Registry Editor. To do this, take one of the following actions:
    • In Windows 10 or Windows 8, press the Windows key + X, select Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then press Enter.
    • In Windows 7 and Windows Vista, select Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or select Allow.
    1. Locate and then select the following registry key:
