Update Office 365 apps from a local location
Use the Office Deployment Tool to download the latest source files from Microsoft. Modify the configuration file by adding the products and architecture that you want. Example:
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath=”C:\office2016″” OfficeClientEdition=”32″>
<Product ID=”O365ProPlusRetail”>
<Language ID=”en-us” />
</Product>
<Product ID=”VisioProRetail”>
<Language ID=”en-us” />
</Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
After the files download, upload them to a network share on your network. When you install Office 365, use a similar configuration file with the UpdatePath parameter. Example:
<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition=”32″>
<Product ID=”O365ProPlusRetail”>
<Language ID=”en-us” />
</Product>
<Product ID=”VisioProRetail”>
<Language ID=”en-us” />
</Product>
</Add>
<Updates Enabled=”True” UpdatePath=”\\server\share\folder”
</Configuration>
This will force Office to update from your on-premises location.
