| distribution server every month. | |
| Instructions: Update the linkID value to one of the corresponding | |
| Microsoft products in the list and run the script with elevated | |
| privileges. If using Jamf Pro, consider replacing the linkID value | |
| with "$4" and entering the ID as a script parameter in a policy. | |
