Yes, the BITS configuration in CM is very basic – but it had to be as it uses the old BITS policy which is the only one that supports XP..
The other crazy thing that CM does is for user initiated downloads (from Software Center etc), where it sets the BITS job priority to ‘Foreground’, which roughly translates to ‘Put the pedal to the metal and hope everyone gets out of your way’ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roland Janus Sent: 02 June 2015 19:59 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] BITS Don’t use BITS config in CM, that’s what I’ve taken. I’ve configured values in the GPO’s but I guess it is basically either set to low or too high, never right. Brings me back to QoS. Give me lowest priority, but if the road is clear, give me everything. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Leuthold Sent: Dienstag, 2.

I assume that's documented on TechNet :). I'm also not certain to what extent ConfigMgr utilizes BITS from server-side CM components to client side. Or maybe CM today has superior technology than BITS? -Stephen On Jun 2, 2015, at 3:34 AM, Phil Wilcock <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: La la la… Yeah of course that is all true BUT.

This is a wet dream that will never come through. Gonna open up a can of worms with this but here it goes. The ONLY way (and the “other vendors” will tell you different with their mumbo-jumbo technology) you can tell how much bandwidth you got on a pipe is to try to cram as much data through as possible for a period of time. WAN software today is very sophisticated and will allow bursts etc. for periods of time depending on certain scenarios.

Or something that you never found the answer too? Anything accepted as long as it’s not in the form of “make it work”. ☺ Br, //Andreas ---------------------------------- Co-Founder +46727253995 http://2PintSoftware.com http://twitter.com/AndHammarskjold
