SCCM: Content Download to Cache Issues – 2008 / 2008 r2 / IIS 7 and IIS 7.5 and Webdav Issues

Issue

The issue that was reported to me was that the content was not downloading. My datatransferservice.log, my CAS.log, and ContentTransferManager.log all looked good. The client found a local DP to download the content from. However when I looked at my cache folder, I saw that only a couple of MB of data was downloaded and it never increased in size.

 

BITS was the culprit here !!!

 

In order to see what jobs are currently downloading, type in:

bitsadmin /list /allusers

This will give you output similar to the following:

BITSADMIN version 3.0 [ 7.5.7600 ]
BITS administration utility.

BITSAdmin is deprecated and is not guaranteed to be available in future versions of Windows.
Administrative tools for the BITS service are now provided by BITS PowerShell cmdlets.

{19A1D938-E1E9-437F-882E-1BFAABB707CB} ‘CCMDTS Job’ ERROR 146 / 3805 4752558 / UNKNOWN
Listed 1 job(s).

Notice how in this picture I have the following line:

{19A1D938-E1E9-437F-882E-1BFAABB707CB} ‘CCMDTS Job’ ERROR 146 / 3805 4752558 / UNKNOWN

This is no good. This basically means there’s an error somewhere in the transfer job.

Before we get into the next step of the solution, you must first understand what an SCCM distribution point is. An SCCM DP is simply a glorified web server. If you look at the Datatransferservice.log file on any of your SCCM clients, you’ll see a lot of URLs that look like the following:

http://DOMAIN:80/SMS_DP_SMSPKGF$/CEN00119/System32/Redist/MS/System/msvcrt.dll

What your client is basically doing is grabbing the files from these URLs and storing them into your local cache directory underneath the package ID.

So back to BITS. Since we saw an error in our bitsadmin /list /allusers, we need to find out exactly what that error is. The following command will show just that:

bitsadmin /info {19A1D938-E1E9-437F-882E-1BFAABB707CB} /verbose > c:bits2.txt

So what this command is doing is giving us the information about the failed BITS job that we saw before. The verbose command gives us the status of each file in the job. We then pipe this out to a file. Inside of that file, we see the following:

BITSADMIN version 3.0 [ 7.5.7600 ]
