Q: Software Update Server URL in 10.8 still the same?
Hello everybody,
I just upgraded my Mac Mini to 10.8 (Mountain Lion) from the previous OSX Lion Server version. So far I used the command
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://SERVER.local:8088/index.sucatalog
on all clients to point to the SUS on the OSX Server. I am wondering if the same link is still valid for Mountain Lion, as I don't get any updates advertised on the clients (e.g. MBA 2011 10.8), although the OSX 10.8 Server App shows today's updates as enabled.
Anybody successfully used the SUS on OSX 10.8 so far ?
Thanks

Hello every,
I just checked the logs on the OSX Server and found that that above URL causes errors, I used this here and now it works fine: http://SERVER.local:8088/index-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.su catalog
So I manually change the setting on each client with
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://SERVER.local:8088/index-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.su catalog
and the clients can download updates from the server. I always wonder why this isn't properly documented, or maybe I missed it somewhere.
