Hello JAMF Nation,



My ASUS is now throwing a hissy fit and refuses to load SUS data. Everything worked just fine last Friday and no updates occurred over the weekend.



We have our clients pointed our SUS using either a config profile or command line. We've also tried the direct URL



"http://serverDNS:8088/index.sucatalog".



and



sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://serverDNS:8088/content/catalogs/others/index-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog


The computers have the correct SUS URL according to 



defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL


The error:



softwareupdate -l

Software Update Tool

Copyright 2002-2015 Apple Inc.



Finding available software

Can't load data from the Apple Software Update server.


We've tried re-doing the Server setup using "sudo rm /var/db/.ServerSetupDone" and killing cfprefsd, "killall cfprefsd".



We've tried deleting the Server.app, deleting /Library/Server and re-installing the Server.app. No dice.



Any help would be appreciated!

Where I'd start:



On the server:



sudo swupd_syncd -listCatalogs



To see what is available (or it thinks is available), and



sudo swupd_syncd -sync



To force a re-sync with the prime ASUS

@yellow



The catalogs were correct, re-syncing now.

The catalogs were all correct, re-syncing now.

Thanks @yellow Looks like ASUS was just missing some updates, re-syncing worked.

Cool beans!

Throw apples sus in the trash and use reposado

Found this discussion on MacRumours forum:

But basically THIS worked to get AppStore Software updates to start.
