Problem getting and setting proxy details

[Philip Fourie]

I am trying to configure a proxy server for BITS. Getting or setting a proxy
results in a 'The system cannot find the file specified' error message. (See
below)

Any ideas what are causing this?

What do you get if you use some more options?

bitsadmin /util /getieproxy localsystem /conn /?

Also what do you from

bitsadmin /util /version /verbose

If you're not getting enough clues from the standard diagnostics
I would try using ProcMon to supplement them. E.g. that could
help give a name to your "specified" file.

Good luck

Thanks Robert,

I have included the output of the two commands. I don't see anything wrong
and will explore the procmon route.

Your /conn /? response is a surprise, I think.

E.g. I don't have one; I get told that. You supposedly have one
but don't?

Oops. Serendipity? I pasted your truncated line... ; )

I suppose the initial target was to feed BITSadmin with proxy settings. I also got this error, and in my case following worked:

bitsadmin /SETPROXYSETTINGS yourJobName OVERRIDE http://yourproxyaurl.com:8080 NULL
bitsadmin.exe /SETCREDENTIALS yourJobName PROXY BASIC proxyUser proxyPass
