Q: manage microsoft office updates via terminal

Probably via Munki or maybe Casper/JAMF, and FWIW here some management-related details, though check with the folks at Microsoft for how they'd recommend doing this via the command line — the operation itself, and not pushing out the commands — FWIW, here in the ARD forum is probably not the best spot for this question, as this is not where the folks that know Microsoft Office update details on OS X lurk.  ARD pushes out the commands, but this forum isn't very busy otherwise.
