Edit - Never mind, this works great with 15.22 and 10.11.4. I was only doing the first if, as I assumed recursive (-R) meant fully recursive...


Is this still working for you with Office 2016 15.22 and OS X 10.11.4? I have tried this and still get the popup when I click Check for Updates in one of the apps for the first time.

MAU 4.15 renamed Microsoft AU Daemon.app to Microsoft Update Assistant.app so the script will need to be updated starting with that version.
