How do I remediate the Secure Score recommendation to enable automatic updates in office now that admin templates are deprecated in intune?

Question

This information is incorrect:

1. Go to the Devices-> Configuration profiles
2. To update an existing policy:
   • Click on the policy name in the list
   • In the navigation bar, click on Properties
   • Next to Configuration settings click on Edit
   • Go to step #4
3. If you’d like to create a new policy, click on the Create Policy button
   • in the side panel, choose:
   • Platform: Windows 10 and later
   • Profile Type: Administrative Templates!!!!!!!
   • Click on Create button
   • Proceed to step #4
4. In the Configuration settings wizard step, set the following:
   • Set Computer Configuration-> Microsoft Office 2016 (Machine)-> Updates-> Enable Automatic Updates to Enabled

---

Solution: You can no longer create administrative template based policies within Intune.

Instead, use a settings catalogue entry based on those

• Microsoft Office 2016 (Machine)-> Updates-> Enable Automatic Updates to Enabled

I put the solution in here, because in order to report an inaccuracy in the defender system I need a url with the solution :)
