BITS only looks at the IE proxy settings of the owner of the BITS jobs if no
explicit proxy settings have been specified on a per-job basis. If you
configure the IE proxy settings as autoproxy detection and the proxy
configuration file correctly returns the right proxy then BITS should be
able to use it. V5 version of WindowsUpdate required you to configure IE
proxy settings for LocalSystem to make WindowsUpdate work. But v6 of
WindowsUpdate should take the proxy settings configured via proxycfg tool
also.
But I would like to understand the exact problem you are facing. Please
download the bitsadmin.exe tool from the following website
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?amp;displaylang=en&familyid=49AE8576-9BB9-4126-9761-BA8011FABF38&displaylang=en
Run the following command from a command prompt and send me the output when
you get the error:
bitsadmin /list /allusers /verbose
If you want to try setting the proxy settings for the LocalSystem account
you can do the following
bitsadmin /util /setieproxy localsystem AUTODETECT
bitsadmin /util /? for more details.
