Error processing BITs job

[Ann Thomas]

Hi All

Would appreciate some help with the following issue.

We have about 1000 clients assigned to a site, the site server is a DP
too. In order to improve performance we enabled IIS bandwith
throttling on the server (IIS 6 on windows 2003 SP1). Since then we
are seeing issues with BITs download of packages. The DP is BITs
enabled, the clients are mostly XP SP2. Any body else having the same
issue?
The error I am seeing while deploying packages on some of the
machines is the following
CTM job encountered error 0x80070057 during download ('Error
processing BITS JobError notification.')

Trying to understand how bandwidth throtting on IIS can affect BITs
downloads. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
Ann

You shouldn't need to turn on BW throttling, since this is what BITS is doing
for your downloads. The problem is that since the client is pulling through
bits it is getting crushed by your bandwith throttling settings.


MS recommends:

Implement one of the following bandwidth throttling mechanisms if you need
to control the maximum bandwidth...

• Limit the ... maximum bandwidth served on IIS server

• Limit the maximum bandwidth ... by configuring BITS (Background
Intelligent Transfer Service) accordingly

If you need to do throtteling then modify BITS

Are you using the BitsAdmin tool to watch the clients?

might be a really simple issue

According to this http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/22c0533b-927a-4ace-9f5a-815879446c991033.mspx?mfr=true

0x80070057 = bad proxy setting or you are logging in with NULLS

INVALIDARG
0x80070057
An incorrect proxy server name was specified in the user's Internet Explorer proxy settings. This error is also seen when credentials are supplied for authentication schemes that are not NTLM/Negotiate, but the user name or password is null. Change the user's IE settings to be a valid proxy server or Change the credentials not to be NULL user name/password for schemes other than NTLM/Negotiate.

hit send to soon - did you change any of the authentication settings on IIS when you changed the bandwidth settings? maybe possibly?
