Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) version 3.18 and later includes the msupdate command-line tool. The msupdate tool can be used to start the update process for Microsoft applications produced for Mac, such as Office. The tool is primarily designed to give IT administrators more precise control over when updates are applied. You can download the latest version of MAU from this link.

Re: Attention Mac OS 10.6.8 users This was just posted by the good folks over at the EFI forum: Apple has posted a fix for the 'Paused' printer condition seen with some printers after installing the 10.6.8 update. It's time for those of us in the Mac community to start paying more attention to security issues—not because Apple is issuing a patch, but because, even if our Macs aren't the target, we are.

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 GitHub.

Aqua is the successor to Platinum, which was used in Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X Server 1.2. The appearance of Aqua has changed frequently over the years, most recently and drastically with the release of OS X Yosemite in 2014 which introduced a flatter look and did away with the gel-like controls and metal-like components. AnyConnect installs its kernel extension on macOS 11, too, as on previous OS versions. However, it is only installed as fallback in case of a critical system extension (or related OS framework) issue. As a last-resort temporary workaround, Cisco TAC may recommend switching from the system extension.

Use the following steps to start using the tool:

Examples of how to use msupdate

• Display the current configuration parameters for MAU:./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
• Download and install latest available updates for Excel, wait for 180 seconds (3 minutes) before closing Excel, and display 'Excel will close in 3 minutes to install updates.' on macOS banner notification to notify user:./msupdate --install --apps XCEL2019 -t 180 -m 'Excel will close in 3 minutes to install updates.'

Application identifiers

The following table lists the Microsoft applications for Mac supported by MAU. The identifier is used when specifying the --apps parameter. When specifying multiple applications on the command-line, separate identifiers with a space.

Note

• The identifiers for the Office apps, such as Word and Outlook, can be used for Office for Mac (from an Office 365 or Microsoft 365 subscription plan) or for Office 2019 for Mac (either a retail or a volume licensed version).
• If an update is pending for MAU itself, that update must be applied before any applications can be updated.
• Identifiers are not case-sensitive when run interactively from the command-line, but use the character casing in the table when running from a management tool such as Jamf Pro.
• Microsoft Teams might use MAU to provide updates in some scenarios, such as if the Teams updater fails. But, you can't use msupdate to have MAU manage updates for Teams, because Teams doesn't provide admins the ability to deploy and manage updates. Instead, Teams is updated automatically approximately every two weeks with new features and quality updates. For more information, see Teams update process.
