Control Background Intelligent Transfer Service using VBScript

[John Greble]

Anyone know if BITS objects are scriptable and any if any documentation is
available?

Thanks!

Hi

Fyi, there is a separate newsgroup for BITS:

microsoft.public.windows.backgroundtransfer

I can't find any references that BITS can be used from vbscript (using COM).

BITS 1.5 has a command line interface you can use from a script:

Hi John,
BITS provides COM API intended for C/C++ programs and are not scriptable.

See: "Using Windows XP Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) with
Visual
Studio .NET" @
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/
WinXP_BITS.asp

This is an article in MSDN describing how to wrap BITS API into managed
classes that you can then script against.

Another alternative may be to use the BITS command line tool called
bitsadmin.exe that you can find in your XP CD under the "support" directory
in the "support.cab" file. This tool exposes some of the core BITS API
through command line and you can then write scripts against this tool.

We are planning to have managed API for BITS in our next release.

thanks.
