I have 2 sccm servers 1 main server in domain A and the 2nd in domain B is configured as an MP, DP & SUP. Clients in domain B for some reason try to talk to the server in domain A when scanning for windows updates and as expected are failing to connect. Is there a way to force them to talk to the 2nd server in domain B? The WUAHandler.log has the following entries:
edit: looking further into it, this appears to come from the sccm client as there's nothing configured in the GPO and when I try to configure GPO to set a different wsus server, it's still pointing to the one in domain A
edit2: on the primary server in domain A the logs

I tried connecting from sccm server in domain A to the one in domain B using powershell on port 8530 and that worked fine

fixed the above by adding an wsus account in the sup settings. Hopefully it'll all work going forward
