On the SUS server:
If there is a problem with a particular update, I found the the best is to:
- stop swupdt service (using process viewer)
- manually delete corupted update
- start swupt service (using server manager)
The data is saved on this loction:
-
/usr/share/swupd/html
Useful commands:
-
sudo swupd graceful
-
swupdctl configtest
-
swupdctl restart
To point a client to another server:
-
softwareupdate -l
-
defaults delete com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
-
defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
-
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL \\
-
http://swupdate.example.com:8088

For managing a large network this is very useful - just to show you that Macs also have a software update service which is very similar to WSUS on Windows.
