Q: Software Update Server (SUS) - default server address

I was wondering what the "Default" address to Apple's SUS.
I have used the app "Set Software Update Server" to set the computers to our local SUS, but I am having issues returning them to apples SUS.

I have done the following:

*To undo the change and point all users back to the Apple Software Update server:*

*defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL*
*Note: Replace "[URL]" with the URL of the Software Update server, including the port number and the name of catalog file (index.sucatalog). For example, http://su.domain_name.com:8088/index.sucatalog*

Any other suggestions would be welcomed, I have also deleted the same prefs on all accounts, and restarted the machines.

Apple..., Mac OS X (10.5.5)

    The appropriate command is probably going to be:
    sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL

    CatalogURL is the key you want deleted, and should not be modified in the manner described in the "Note". "root" access will be required to write changes to com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.
