It's normally set as a managed pref through WGM in the form:

But you can also do it via terminal:
defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http:// yourserverfqdn:8088/index.sucatalog"

In my experience, that will only set it for the user that runs the 'defaults' command. To set it for all users:


defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://server:8088/";

To set it for the root user, which will enable you to use the softwareupdate command-line tool (which must be run as root):

sudo defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http:// server:8088/"

Putting the "index.sucatalog" on the end is completely unnecessary.
