High Sierra and Outlook 2016 Minimum Version Requirement.

[Look]

Just a warning about Outlook 2016 and High Sierra.
High Sierra requires a very late version of Outlook before it will allow it to run, all good just upgrade right? Maybe not...
If you have never run Outlook it will not be in the list of Office 2016 programs to upgrade so MAU will not detect the new version, you will need to reinstall a newer version to bring it up to the level High Sierra requires.
Not that hard to resolve, just worth noting I guess.

I wish I could remember where I grabbed this from to properly credit it, but we use a script found on jamfNation to register Office 2016 applications with MAU so even if they are not executed by the user they still receive updates

#!/bin/sh

#
# Create MAU trust Launch Agent and the Script using scripting method

A configuration profile can also be applied to force "Download and Install all Updates" to be the checked option in MAU.

You can also install just the latest Outlook client.
