Description

In here https://mosen.github.io/profiledocs/custom/microsoft-autoupdate2.html

Microsoft changed this property's values in Q4 of 2020. Referenced here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-apps-for/microsoft-365-apps-update-channel-name-changes-ios-mac-and/m-p/1869539

Also, when inspecting, I noticed they renamed the property from Channel to ChannelName

Example:

% "/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app/Contents/MacOS"/msupdate --config
