Has anyone ever come across this error when running softwareupdate -l:

Software Update Tool
Copyright 2002-2012 Apple Inc.

Finding available software
Didn't get a response from the Software Update server (<SERVERNAME>).

The server name looks correct, and i'm setting it via a Configuration Profile with the Software Update Payload. It's in the "http://server.net:8088/index.sucatalog" format. SUS is 10.12.2 running Server 5.2 while the client is on 10.10.5. Not everyone is seeing that error and i can't reproduce it on two Sierra clients.

Hey

Did you get a fix for this?? I'm seeing the same on some of my clients.

Thanks
