MAU 3[edit]
MAU Channels[edit]
Starting with the release of MAU 3.3 in December 2015, MAU understands 4 channels:
- Internal
- External
- Production
- Custom
Internal[edit]
The Internal channel will be builds 2 weeks prior to production. The Internal channel will remain undocumented with no GUI but you can set it via a plist pref 'ChannelName'
defaults write com.microsoft.autoupdate2 ChannelName -string 'Internal'
External[edit]
The External channel will be a week prior to production. In MAU 3.4 which will release in January, there will be a checkbox to opt into the Insiders program which will set the channel to External.
defaults write com.microsoft.autoupdate2 ChannelName -string 'External'
To disable the checkbox and prevent end users from subscribing to the Office Insider program:
defaults write com.microsoft.autoupdate2 DisableInsiderCheckbox -bool TRUE
Production[edit]
(self explanitory, more info to come later about release cycle?)
Custom[edit]
Setting the ChannelName to 'Custom' will enable another pref called 'ManifestServer' where you can point to your own server.
