Patching Office 365 - Click2Run

Usage and Config Patch
1

Hello,

I am currently looking to Patch Office 365 in a similar fashion to what is seen here… http://blogs.technet.com/b/ouc1too/archive/2014/09/05/patching-office-365-with-configuration-manager-2012-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-click2rclient.aspx

Essentially, I am looking to use the officec2rclient.exe that the suite uses to update rather than actually load a package…completely new to Endpoint Manager and have no action/relevance language skills yet.

Any help creating a fixlet template to run the officec2rclient.exe would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jimmer

I suggest you check out the Endpoint Manager Action Guide, specifically the prefetch command, which downloads a file, and the wait command, which runs an executable.

After you’ve read through that, this action script will make sense:

prefetch office2rclient.exe sha1:<sha1> size:<size> sha256:<sha256> <url>
wait office2rclient.exe

I salute you on your journey to action and relevance mastery!

Just a slight correction… the format is:

prefetch office2rclient.exe sha1:<sha1> size:<size> <url> sha256:<sha256>

Thanks @AlanM , good catch. I’ll make sure we get our prefetch doc updated.

@Jimmer, you might also be interested in https://github.com/bigfix/make-prefetch, which will generate a prefetch line for you (including SHA calculations).
