Managing Office 365 Updates?

Question

I use WSUS and/or System Center Configuration Manager 2012 to manage Office updates today.  Can I continue to use these products to update Office 365 ProPlus?  Plz Suggest? What is the best way?
Thanks

No.  Unfortunately you cannot.  There's a new update system for the Click To Run software.  CTR is a whole nother animal.   This document goes over the limitations: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624360.aspx
If you want to control which updates are applied and distribute those internally, then it works something like this:
Deploy Office with configuration.xml (and/or GPO) configured for an internal update location
Write and schedule a script to regular run setup.exe with another configuration.xml to download the updates to a shared location
Microsoft just finally gave us a few more customization and some limited GPO control in April.  Here's some information on that:

Here's the references you'll need:

Yes the documentation is spread out all over and is not all up to date.  We haven't found the updates to be reliable either and are still frustrated with the lack of any central management or troubleshooting.  It's like they released the software
but are still working on the tools to manage it.  Good luck.
