Status: offline 		I incorrectly configured the SUP on one of my remote sites and so all these clients are looking at the parent site for Software Updates. I've checked the WUAHandler.log and have seen the settings there. Now that I've got things correctly configured, I'm wondering how I can 'force' the clients to re-home to their local SUP instead. Do I need to reinstall the clients to apply the SCCM local policies for this?

Status: offline 		No you do not need to reinstall the clients. If clients are able to connect to the assigned MP, clients will automatically pick up the new WSUS URL and use it. Default ConfigMgr Site Policy interval is one hour. So after one hour your clients should re-home.

Also, if you wanted to ensure your clients use a WSUS URL of choice, you can use Active Directory GPO and apply the WSUS URL via policy. This will keep that clients homed to your WSUS server.
If you turn on WSUS/SUP Client Installation, This can also be automated so the client will auto re install if the client is uninstalled. WSUS will put the client back on the system by treating the client like a critical update.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the help and insight. I gave it enough time and voila they are all rehomed again. I'd rather let SCCM apply the policies than use a domain GPO in this case.
