Hi

I am attempting to find a way to set the software update Server for Mac Pros only and wondered if anyone has successfully tried this via the JSS

Thanks

You could either

- create a Managed Preference Profile and scope it to a Smart Group containing your Mac Pros.
Then create an MCX for your SUS and assign it to your Mac Pro profile only.

- if you're not using Casper MCX, create a Smart Group for your Mac Pros and run a script on it following this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4069

If you use Reposado you have to be aware of the different URLs for each OS version.
