Software Update Server settings stuck.

Hey all, so we recently moved away from a pair of Reposado servers to point our clients back out to Apple for their Software Update needs.

I have a client that is stuck with the old setting and I can't get it to check Apple SUS.

So the preferences for the SUS settings were being set by Managed Preferences.

I removed the MCX, then ran a script that deleted the /Library/Managed Preferences/ directory and called jamf -mcx to rebuild another others that might be needed (none are being used now)

I've run the jamf removeSWUSettings command and the softwareupdate --clear-catalog commands and still when I check for Software Updates it tries to connect to the local reposado server (which doesn't exist anymore.)

From what I can tell this is working just fine on most computers, but a few are being stubborn.

Any help or fresh ideas are welcome.

So yeah, on a whim I created a new Managed Preference with the Software Update "level" set to Unmanaged, which worked perfectly.

Yay?
