[Casper] 10.5.5 SUS hitting a brick wall

[Miles Leacy]

Thank you for that.  I deleted the client from WGM, deleted the managed
prefs, and rebooted.  Then I made sure my "enforce management framework"
policy ran.  After that, I ran "softwareupdate -l", and I no longer get the
error.  Unfortunately, it seems that my client is looking to Apple instead
of my internal SUS as specified in the JSS.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?  It appears that the client
isn't taking the setting from the JSS.  Can anyone refresh my memory - does
the JSS write to com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist, or does it use some other
mechanism?

There is a /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist file, but it
does not contain an UpdateURL key.  There is no
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist file.

And just to rule out the "did you plug it in" level of troubleshooting - I
am remembering correctly that the "enforce management framework" policy will
configure the client's SUS setting as specified in the JSS, aren't I?
