Launch Microsoft Autoupdate On Mac Os X

The Microsoft Office for Mac Team is on a roll and bring new features for the new year. One of the cool new features is Full-Screen View for Outlook.

  1. Apr 16, 2015 Microsoft AutoUpdate for Mac is provided together with Office. It automatically keeps Microsoft software up-to-date. To use AutoUpdate, start a Microsoft Office program, and then click Check for Updates on the Help menu.
  2. The Microsoft AutoUpdate application appeared this morning and told me that the Office 2008 12.1.1 Update was available. I told it to retrieve it and, after it did, it tried to install.
  3. Automatically uninstall Microsoft AutoUpdate with MacRemover (recommended): No doubt that uninstalling programs in Mac system has been much simpler than in Windows system. But it still may seem a little tedious and time-consuming for those OS X beginners to manually remove Microsoft AutoUpdate and totally clean out all its remnants.
  4. How to Fix Microsoft Office AutoUpdate for Mac not working. Either it’s a compatibility issue with the version of OS X Yosemite or Microsoft is not aware of the problem yet.

The Office for Mac Team is on a roll, ringing in the New Year with new features for the 2016 revision launched in mid-2015. One of the neat new features is Full-Screen View support in Outlook 2016 for Mac. It’s a native feature of OS X, but some programs have taken a bit of time to catch up. Now that it has arrived in Outlook with the new updates, here’s a look at how to use it and what to expect.

The Microsoft AutoUpdate application appeared this morning and told me that the Office 2008 12.1.1 Update was available. I told it to retrieve it and, after it did, it tried to install.

Activate Full-Screen View in Outlook 2016 for Mac

First, you need to ensure you have the latest updates for Office 2016 installed. Check out our article for instructions about the new updates and how you can get them. Once you have those updates installed, launch Outlook 2016 for Mac. Then maximize the window to get the full-screen view feature.

Full screen is more than just an immersive experience. When you open a message background distractions are removed placing a clear focus on the content. When you want to exit focus view, just click outside the message window, to return to the main Outlook screen.

You can also multi-task, when in full-screen view. To display more than one message at a time, open a message, then minimize it. Open another message, and then click the message tab for the message you had previously minimized.

Outlook 2016 will automatically split the screen between both messages.

I initially experienced difficulty activating focus view with two messages on the screen. It turns out if your Mac uses a default resolution 1440 x 900, it will instead toggle the messages. If you happen to own a Mac with a Retina display, do the following: Open System Preferences then click Display

Select the Scaled radio box then click the third option. Do note, this might limit the performance of your Mac. I find it really strange I had to do this to get the feature working in Outlook 2016 for Mac.

OS X El Capitan Split View Support

Outlook 2016 for Mac also takes advantage of the new OS X El Capitan feature, Split View. This one calls for an even higher resolution, minimum 1550 pixels. To activate it, click File > New > Main window. Split View with Outlook 2016, lets you set up an additional main window, which you can use for managing your calendar, tasks or another inbox. I could not get it to work because of the limitation of my resolution.

The Outlook for Mac Team notes these are early days; more work is being done to refine the feature. Hopefully, we will see better support for older Macs with lower resolution. Let us know what you think of the new feature.

Enroll your macOS device with the Intune Company Portal app to gain secure access to your work or school email, files, and apps.

Organizations typically require you to enroll your device before you can access proprietary data. After your device is enrolled, it becomes managed. Your organization can assign policies and apps to the device through a mobile device management (MDM) provider, such as Intune.

What to expect from the Company Portal app

During initial setup, the Company Portal app requires you to sign in and authenticate yourself with your organization. Company Portal then informs you of any device settings you need to configure to meet your organization's requirements. For example, organizations often set minimum or maximum character password requirements that you'll be required to meet.

After you enroll your device, Company Portal will always make sure that your device is protected according to your organization's requirements. For example, if you install an app from an untrusted source, Company Portal will alert you and might restrict access to your organization's resources. App protection policies like this one are common. To regain access, you'll likely need uninstall the untrusted app.

If after enrollment your organization enforces a new security requirement, such as multi-factor authentication, Company Portal will notify you. You'll have the chance to adjust your settings so that you can continue to work from your device.

Unverified profiles

When you view the installed mobile device management (MDM) profiles in System Preferences > Profiles, some profiles might show an unverified status. As long as the management profile shows a verified status, you don’t need to be concerned.

The management profile is what defines the MDM channel connection. As long as the management profile is verified, any other profiles delivered to the machine via that channel inherit the security traits of the management profile.
