Not working for me. Running Office for Mac version 15.20 (which I downloaded using a direct link - autoupdated would not work), and now the Microsoft Autoupdate 3.4.0. Update, released, 2,1MB in size, is offered every time I run Microsoft AutoUpdate, but never installs. The direct links offered above donĀ“t work either.

Applies to:Office for Mac, Office 2019 for Mac, Office 2016 for Mac
Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) version 3.18 and later includes the msupdate command-line tool. This can be used to start the update process for Microsoft applications produced for Mac, such as Office. The tool is primarily designed for IT administrators so that they have more precise control over when updates are applied. You can download the latest version of MAU from this link.
msupdate works by sending Apple Events to the MAU daemon. On macOS 10.14 Mojave and later, you may see a privacy prompt when running msupdate for the first time. If you are using an enterprise management tool such as Jamf Pro, you should deploy a Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) payload to pre-approve access. Samples of such a payload can be downloaded from here.
Use the following steps to start using the tool:
- Open the Terminal application
- Enter
cd /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app/Contents/MacOS
- Run
./msupdate --help
The following options are displayed:
Examples of how to use msupdate
- Display the current configuration parameters for AutoUpdate:
./msupdate --config
- Display the current configuration parameters in machine-readable format:
./msupdate --config --format plist
- List all available updates:
./msupdate --list
- Download and install all available updates:
./msupdate --install
- Download and install the latest updates for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint:
./msupdate --install --apps MSWD2019 XCEL2019 PPT32019
- Download and install a version-specific update for Outlook:
./msupdate --install --apps OPIM2019 --version 16.17.180090901
