Office 365 ProPlus update from local CDN site

We can use a network, local, or HTTP path for the UpdatePath Office 365 proplus. UNC path is perfectly fine for desktop users but incase of  laptop users who are not in office network UNC path not accessible. So planning to test with local CDN(http site) so that if users in office or client location update not impact.

For laptop users we can host a local CDN network, which is accessible from outside of  office network as well. Can someone suggest how to configure CDN(content delivery network) for our client systems. Similar like Microsoft has for publicly for all.

You can use Group Policy to configure the Update Source Location:

e.g.: for computers located in the corporate network, use this to configure the update source as your on-premises repository, and, for computers which are located outside your corporate network, leave the defaults in place/configure for MSFT CDN.

Or perhaps another alternative might be this: if you have content-caching appliances/services available within your corporate network/DMZ/edge, those content-caches could serve the MSFT CDN content efficiently to your corporate computers (in this case, all of your computers could be configured as default for MSFT CDN. This would mean that laptops which may come-and-go could "automatically" reach the most effective/efficient "copy" of the MSFT content)

Another alternative might be to consider some "clever" internal DNS/proxy logic, again this would allow you to leave the computers configured for MSFT CDN default and allow your network/DNS/proxy to resolve "internal" requests to your on-premises repository.

[just a few thoughts...]
