@CoderDave To check if you are pointed at a custom software update server (SUS) run: defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist CatalogURL If the Terminal returns a value, that is your update server. If it returns something like: The domain/default pair of (/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist, CatalogURL) does not exist you are already pointed to Apple's servers. To delete a custom value run this command: sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist CatalogURL

| Oct 5, 2017 at 20:29 | comment | added | CoderDave | "to get a full High Sierra installer from the App Store, make sure softwareupdate is pointed at Apple’s softwareupdate servers or an internal server in which you have synced" - But how do you do that??? | |
