I'm installing Office 365 Pro Plus from a static source on my server. We do want Semi-Annual Updates, but want the dropdown to change that option to hidden.
I've found that I can hide the option only if the Updates are set to NO. Here is what I've found:
- DWORD: EnableAutomaticUpdates
Values:
0 = automatic updates are disabled
1 = automatic updates are enabled - DWORD: HideEnableDisableUpdates
Values:
1 = hide the menu option to enable or disable automatic updates
0 = show the menu option to enable or disable automatic updates
So I'd like to set Updates to Enabled, 1 in the reg, and Hide the option, 1 in the reg.
They're both set correctly but I still have the ability to change the option and it's not hidden.
My 2nd question related to this is: If I set my configuration XML to Semi Annualy does that control the frequency of the updates (making them only Semi Annualy)? And if I change that XML to Monthly, I will get them every month? Or is there something larger controlling when the Office Updates come through?
Lastly, if I turn off Office Updates during MDT using commands to change the registry (and set Updates to NO), does that mean the computer will Never get Semi Annual updates?
Just looking for some clarity.
