Hello, I work for a large University and I'm having some issues with BITS as it relates to Windows Update. When the students come into our dorms at the start of the school year they are assigned to a restricted vlan on our network. This allows them get get software that the university provides before they get connected to the real network. Like most universities all of our address are in a public space. One of the thing that we want to do is allow people to run windows update before the connect to the real network to confirm they have all the necessary patches. So do do this we've setup a MS Internet Acceleration Server which seems to be working the way we expect it too. The problem I'm having is that BITS never seems to understand that there is a proxy server and it needs to use it. I can see from my packet captures that BITS is infact trying to directly connect. Here is what I have tried so far to get BITS to see the proxy 1. Setup a manual proxy config in IE 2. Setup a proxy.pac file and served it to the machine 3. Did a proxycfg -u to import the IE settings in proxycfg I've seen some other suggestions but they involved editing the registry and other hacks. I don't want to do with when student machines. Ideally I would like to push a proxy.pac config and have both IE and BITS work. Can anyone give me any suggestions. |
