undoing a SUS assignment

I have assigned an in house SUS to my users but now I want to change to a caching server. Apple says I can't have end users utilize a coaching server if they are pointed at a SUS. How do I undo that assignment?

I would think the following would work:

sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist

Since the SUS is directed from that file. Deleting it reverts the machine to look for the Apple servers...which should go through your caching server first.

@kyoung this should do it:

sudo jamf -removeSWUSettings

Or

sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Softwareupdate.plist CatalogURL

since you only want to delete the reference to your internal SUS
