Modify your 10.5 Software Update Server to serve 10.6 Clients

Not applicable

A colleague of mine at another office pointed me to this discussion on the
Apple boards which contains instructions for modifying a Mac OS X Server
10.5.x Software Update Server to host 10.6.x updates. The best part is that
if you are using Casper 7.2 I believe you can skip step 9 and not modify the
client-side plist file as Casper 7.2 sets all the correct info in the
CatalogURL. I'm still running Casper 7.1 due to hardware incompatibility on
my JSS, so I have to deploy a custom plist to my clients so they get the
10.6-specific updates.

Not sure how helpful this will be to others, but I'm excited to not upgrade
my SUS at this time!

We did this and it worked out great. We did have to mod the client side
plist though.
