Hello, I am looking to automate the Office365 Application download for the latest version using ODT on my MDT server.
Where could I get the version number of monthly office365 release by api call from Microsoft (even graph api link will do)?

The idea is to get the version number from official monthly release, compare it with the one previously downloaded, and if it's greater then download the new version. The MDT will be ready to deploy it for the machine build. My plan to implement it by using invoke-webrequest/invoke-restmethod

Can someone send me to the right direction please?

Thanks

    Hi @Naw
    About through automated methods to update, install Office products, etc. are not supported in the forum.
    And I suggest you refer to this support article, as the articel said the scheduled task called Office Automatic Updates 2.0 is created automatically, in my opinion you don't need to repeat the automatic update behavior：

    @Emi Zhang-MSFT Thanks for the reply. Google also gave me the link you sent me whenever I searched for it haha.
    My plan was to run ODT tool setup.exe /download <ofice-config.xml> on MDT server if there is a newer version.
