SCCM 2012R2 CU2
Single Primary with multiple secondaries
Single upstream WSUS/SUS server at the Primary
Multiple downstream SUS servers at the secondaries

Noticing over time that clients at secondary sites are slowly repointing to
the upstream server, and causing bandwidth issues as it's pulling update
scan metadata from this WSUS.  It also seems that it may be pulling updates
directly from the WSUS server itself and not from the SUP and not from the
DP.

Does anyone know how to repoint the SCCM clients back to their local SUP
and not failover to the upstream server?  What I have done in the past is
stop the WSUSPOOL on the upstream server. This will result in the SCCM
client timing out and reverted back to the local WSUS.  But once I restart
the WSUSPOOL, SCCM clients start to slowly repoint to the upstream server.
Really frustrating.

Also why would an SCCM client pull directly from a SUP [WSUS] and not from
the DP?

The only thing I believe I can do is use SCCM to update the registry
settings based on boundary collections to ensure that it doesn't change the
settings.  I'm loath to use GPOs as we may inadvertently repoint a client
that is no longer located in the appropriate location OU.

Ideas anyone?

George
