When we were doing this a month or so ago we just have totally random behaviour with this, we had a bunch of basically identical iMacs and a couple always get the full installer and a couple always get the small installer. Doesn't seem to matter what they are running or whether they had been upgraded before, so we just kept one of the ones that always worked to the side until we had what we needed. It's pretty annoying given you need the full installer to build any kind of NetBoot or NetInstall solution. That first linked blog post doesn't actually indicate you need your own software update server, just that if you did have one it needed to have the HS update cached for the App Store to find it.

You can force the softwareupdate tool to use Apple's servers by issuing the following command in Terminal: sudo softwareupdate -clear-catalog (may require 10.12) and that should allow the App Store to download the full installer. My Question to post above: Where. Do I have to put in Softwareupdate -clear-catalog. In which terminal?

For Mac Osx 10.13 High Sierra Full Free Version Dl Map View 2017

If I put inside of update terminal, nothing happens.
