Does anyone know where in Mojave I can do a "Defaults read/write" to manipulate the address for the Software Update Server? I have a situation where only if I whitelist a machine through my firewall am I able to do OS updates. App Store updates work beautifully. It seems that Apple has changed the way that this works in Mojave. Thanks.

I have still an Internal Apple SUS and not NetSUS yet.

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate SUDisableEVCheck -bool TRUE
exit 0NetSUS URL - generic URL

“It also performs extended validation of TLS certificates.
To disable this, use a policy or Jamf Remote to execute the above command on managed computers:
This preference may also be set using a Configuration Profile.
Note: For macOS Mojave clients the Base URL should be set to https
My note
Try both in your URL (http and https, I am using the former in the URL)
Hope it helps
