This security update has been removed from the Microsoft Catalog site

Additional failure download causes:

1. Office 365 updates bundled into MS##-##-OFF Software Bulletin; unsupported versions, 7.5.x, 7.6.x up to HF6 and without Pointfix for HF7, and up through 8.0 HF5 as support was added in 8.0 HF6 out-of-box as outlined in INFO3521
2. Data corruption between the physical package, package snapshot.xml and the database resources associations

Primary issue was resolved in PMImport 7.2.85 released on 10/9/2017.

Secondary issue regarding additional errors downloading was resolved in PMImport 7.2.97. Additionally, the following workaround steps to resolve the additional failure were utilized prior to PMImport 7.2.97:

Clean-up the Office 365 updates for unsupported environments:

1. Open the Console > Home > Patch Management > Windows > Settings > MetaData Import Task:
   • Expand the Vendors and Software segment in the right-pane
     • Search in Filter: click
     • Disable the four items: Microsoft Office Click to Run 2016 as detailed in INFO3521
   • Enable the setting on the top of the right-pane: 
     • Delete previously downloaded data for vendors, software and languages that are now excluded
   • Save Changes
   • Select: Schedule Task > Now > Run
     • Or wait for the scheduled process to run as configured

​​Clean-up the corrupt resource associations from package to Bulletin:

1. Open the Console > Actions > Software > Patch Remediation Center:
   • Highlight MS17-09-OFF; right-click > Disable 
   • If that option is present: Removes the resource associations to the physical package in the database
   • If that option is not present: The associations were not created and move onto the next step
      
2. Delete the parent folder of MS17-09-OFF package:
   • Found on the SMP Server: C:\Program Files\Altiris\Patch Management\Packages\Updates
      
3. Open Patch Remediation Center:
   • Highlight MS17-09-OFF; right-click > Download:
   • This should recreate the resource associations and run a fresh download of the Bulletin
