Hi!

We've got multiple office versions 2019x86 standard and 2021x86 + 2021x64 std in domain env.

Now it's all configured as 3 different shares with setup.exe + config.xml, where the exact version and both setup and update path are specified.

Also, there are 3 different gpo's configured with wmi filters like 'SELECT * FROM CIM_DataFile WHERE path="\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\" AND filename="WINWORD" AND extension="exe" AND version LIKE "16.0.14%"' (for 2021x86 edition) with configured update path (\share\office2021x86std).

Is there any way to store (download) updates for all office versions at one path - unc share, and use 1 gpo to point at this path?

Or what is the best practice to update in the similar environment?
