Re: BITS Problem with WSUS

["Narayana Mahankali [MSFT]" <narayanm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The bitsadmin output indicates the problem is transient and hence it should 
be automatically corrected. When you tried the URL with IE did you set the 
same proxy? I would like to see BITS logs to find out more about this 
problem. Please run the following instructions from a command prompt:
    set BitsRegKey=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\BITS
    reg add %BitsRegKey% /v LogFileFlags /t REG_DWORD /d 0xfbcf /f
    reg add %BitsRegKey% /v LogFileSize /t REG_DWORD /d 0x100 /f
    reg add %BitsRegKey% /v LogFileMinMemory /t REG_DWORD /d 0x30 /f
    net stop bits
    net start bits

After this reproduce the problem. Once you get the error stop the BITS 
service using the following command
    net stop bits

Send me the following files %windir%\system32\bits.log and
%windir%\system32\bits.bak (if it exists). You can send it directly to me by
removing "online" in my email address.
