ToolTip: Bits GUI Admin

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:23:13 +0000

In an earlier post [Using BITS for file downloads](Using BITS for file downloads) I wrote about how to use BITS for file transfers. Today I had a BITS related topic at work, so needed a brief refresher and found some additional interesting things.

First I came across a TechNet Utility Spotlight article Scripting Trouble-Free downloads with BITS. If you are interested in creating your own BITS based download scripts, read this article and download the provided bitsjob.vbs and bitsjob.cmd files. Note that the article is dated back from 2006, so no mention about Windows 7 here, but no worries bitsadmin.exe is included in Vista and Windows 7 already.

Some of you might now this already, I just came across this today :-) Although i prefer command lines, I must admit that i like this tool, as it allows you to either run the command immediately or save it as a script. And for some reasons I have always had a bit of a “typo” issue using robocoy. .
