Setting for Auto Update #4

Closed mschroeder2 closed 8 years ago

mschroeder2 commented 8 years ago

Is it possible to add appropriate settings to manage auto updates? I need to be able to turn off updates via GPO. Thanks!

Thanks for your interest in this project.

Unfortunately this project has sat on the backburner for myself. There is now a somewhat official group policy available here: https://libreoffice-from-collabora.com/windows-group-policy-admx/ (This is mentioned in the README.md) that should supersede this one.

That said, from memory you could not control the auto update by registry settings (group policy). It is a hell of a lot easier to just not install the auto update feature in the first place. The flags to the msi that disable the auto update are documented in the wiki here: https://github.com/somedowntime/libreofficegrouppolicy/wiki#Discouraged_Scenarios

If you already have LibreOffice installed on your domain computers, you can use group policy to uninstall your current setup and reinstall the version with Auto Update disabled.

Thanks for your help Thomas. I didn't know you could set this via msi install. I've changed that around and it seems to be working perfect now.
