So this may be an odd request but we have our office 2013 install in a scmm task sequence and would like to have all the updates install afterwards. I tried to download all the updates with wsusoffline and then upload everything to the distribution point then trying to run update.cmd as the program but it never does anything in the task sequence just says installed.

Does anyone have any suggestions or maybe an alternate way to get office updates into sccm/task sequence?

I am not familiar with SCCM but I am quite familiar with MDT. I believe SCCM is a "MDT on Steroids"

assuming that the task sequence installs office once the OS is installed and you are at a desktop, like you would normally.

all you need to do is add the office updates from WSUSOU to you Office 2013 "Updates" folder. these would then install automatically when SCCM does its thing.

you can keep updating the updates folder to include new updates without changing SCCM task sequence.

I thought the same thing but the downloads from WSUSOU are cab files and when moved to my updates folder in office they do not install. Am I missing something?

Unpack the cab into the updates-folder of your Office installation media.
The .msp-files inside should be installed by the setup automatically.

Please do a wsusou installation on a test machine to find out, what files you have to copy, as their names aren't helpful, when trying to find out, what Office version they are for.

sorry I missed a step. you do need to extracts the update files.

the way I do it is use a .cmd file to automate the process

all you would need to do is change the variables to your values. if you need this for x64 office then change "FOR %%f IN (*x86*.exe)" to "FOR %%f IN (*x64*.exe)"

Also you will need to disable UAC to do this. UAC pops up on every update
