Hi, former colleague deployed Office 365 Pro Plus to all Windows 10 1809 Enterprise clients (via SCCM) without specifying update channel so they all ended up having Semi-annual Channel. Security team might require all of them to be changed to Monthly Channel. I know there are two registry entries needed to be changed:
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration\ CDNBaseUrl to http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/492350f6-3a01-4f97-b9c0-c7c6ddf67d60
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration\ UpdateChannel to http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/492350f6-3a01-4f97-b9c0-c7c6ddf67d60
I am aware of the following scheduled task Office 365 related too:
Office Automatic Updates 2.0
Office ClickToRun Service Monitor
Office Feature Updates
Office Feature Updates Logon
OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerLogon
OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration
OfficeTelemetryAgentFallBack2016
OfficeTelemetryAgentLogOn2016
So I would like to know if the first one (in combination with some others) will modify update version (build number) along with update channel on client side (for instance in Word, Control Panel ...) to reflect changes made in registry? If answer is yes what would happen if any of Office 365 app is open at time when scheduled task runs? If answer is no is there any way of updating info on client side without forcing Office 365 client to check for updates (OfficeC2RClient.exe /update)?
I want this update channel change to be completely transparent to end user if doable.
Thank you in advance.
