Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, OneNote need blocking applications array

@rtrouton Can you add the blocking applications array to each of these apps?

Munki just starts the install, regardless if the app is running. I observed incomplete installs when apps are running.

Thank you!

I don’t use Munki and the relevant .munki recipes were written by others, so I don’t have the relevant knowledge to add this information correctly.

Pull requests to update the relevant recipes would be accepted.

@opus-nbo DataJar (an Apple partner) have written their own Munki recipes for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote but not it appears OneDrive. These call @rtrouton download recipes. The DataJar Munki recipes do have blocking apps defined. Therefore one solution is to use the DataJar versions.

Alternatively you can add or copy/paste the blocking apps in to your own override recipes.

@jelockwood Thanks, you are right! I overlooked that. I switched to the DataJar recipes.
