What's going on, guys? It is Bernardo and today is all about deploying
Microsoft 365 apps updates using SCCM, so let's get right into it. All right,
so the first thing that we need to do is open up our Microsoft configuration endpoint manager.
I know I'm constantly saying SCCM, but I'm old school because I just like the way you know,
you say it, S C C M why not, right? Go for it. So once you open it up,
first thing that we need to do is get into administration.
We are going to go to overview. Within overview we are going
to go to site configuration. We're going to click on sites,
within sites we are going to highlight your site. I only have one site which is BTN,
and from here I'm going to right click on it and we are going to go to configure site components
and we are going to pick on software update point. Now within here we're
going to go to classifications and a couple of things that we need to do.
We got to make sure we have updates, upgrades and all this other stuff.
Now this is what I have within my environment. You
might change it depending on how you want to configure it within your, you know,
within your infrastructure. Once you pick your classifications, we are going to head to the
products tab and we're going to go all the way to the bottom until we see the option to select
Microsoft 365 Apps, Office 2019 and then Office LTSC. We're going
to give it a checkmark. We're going to click Apply and we're going to okay,
now the next thing that we need to do is go inside software, go to overview.
Within overview, we're going to expand the Office 365 client management folder
and we're going to select on Office 365 updates. Now, I don't have anything in here.
We just configured SCCM to actually pull Microsoft Office 365 updates.
So at the very top on the left hand side,
we're going to click on Synchronize Software Updates, so click on that and you should get
a nice little dialog box. We're going to click Yes here and just give it some time.
You know, if you're don't have any patience like me,
you're able to go inside the log folder and within the log folder there's a particular
log that you're able to double click on, which is called the W Sync MGR for Manage.
And if you double click on that, you go all the way to
the bottom. You should see that your WSUS synchronizing updates. Right now
it is updating about 4108 updates on to my SCCM server. Holy crap.
Crazy, right? Eventually you should see some updates pop up, which is always a good thing.
Now let's head back into administration. Go to overview. And within here, we're going to
click on client settings. Now I'm going to select my client settings for workstations.
There's a couple of things that we need to do to set up our workstations to push
Office 365 updates to, so we're going to double click on that,
open it up, and we're going to go into the software update section.
On your right hand side, we need to locate enable management of the
office 365 Client Agent By default it is configured to not configure,
so click on the dropdown menu and then select. Yes. And then okay, now we need to go back
inside Software Overview Inside Office 365 Client Management in Office 365 Updates.
You should see a crapload of updates pulled down from the Microsoft server online into your system,
which is a good thing. Now automatically they're not downloaded. Everything is no,
so don't freak out. It's not locally downloaded into your SCCM server, so I won't take any space.
Now from here I'm going to click on Add criteria and I'm going to pick expired
and I'm also going to pick date released. And those two options I'm going to configure if
you click on is on or after I am going to do is between and I'm going to pick a nice date range.
So I'm going to pick an entire month and then for an expired. Just click on the dropdown menu for
you know, by default it's set to no, so just make sure it's no and then just hit enter and
it's going to narrow everything down to the range that I selected on the date released.
So that's a good thing. So from here I'm basically going to select two updates,
hold the control key, select whatever updates you want to push out to your infrastructure.
I picked these two. I'm going to right click and we're going to pick on Download.
Within Download, we are going to create a new deployment package. We're going to
give it a new name. Now for the package source, I actually created a new folder
within sources called Microsoft 365 updates. And that's where I'm going to drop these
updates into copy that UNC path into that particular text box and then click on next
We're going to click on add and we are going to pick on distribution point and
pick your DP. Once you pick your DP. click okay. And then we're going to
click next here. I left the distribution settings for this package as the default.
So just click next here. Download Location Default next here for the update language for the product
default click next. A lot of next, next, next, right now summary click next. It's going to
start pulling everything from the Microsoft Online server down into your SCCM server.
It's actually going to download it into that folder that we provided and give it
some time it should process depending on how many updates you select it. For me,
I only did two, so it didn't take too much.
And then you should get a green checkmark that is completed and
then click on close. Now from here what you could do is basically go
inside add criteria and I'm going to select downloaded and I'm just going to hit Enter.
And then once you do enter, it's going to basically narrow it down to the two updates
or several updates that you download it. And I'm just going to select them and I'm
going to right click on them and I'm going to select on deploy.
Now you're going to get the Deploy Software Updates Wizard from here. All you need to
do is click on the Browse button and then select your collection. Now for this video,
I picked all workstations and then click okay and then we are going to click next here.
I left the default deployment settings as is click next for
scheduling it's up to you change it but I left everything as the default click
next user experience. If you want to hide this from the software center, go for it.
I left it as the default to display it. Click Next Alerts Default Next for the
download settings. The only thing I did here is make sure the first
deployment option you select download software updates from the DP and install
and if you want, I like the option at the very bottom where it says if the updates are
not available on to your DP or the neighbor DP or the boundary groups, you're able to download
the content within the Microsoft Update server if you want that's optional depends on you and then
click next. Nice little summary, click next and all green check marks and then you're good to go.
And that's it guys, that is how we deploy Microsoft 365 apps update
to your, you know workstations using SCCM or MCEM Microsoft Configuration Endpoint Manager,
who cares, SCCM for me. Hopefully guys enjoy and I catch you guys on the next one.
Peace out.
