Kevin79 Posted October 30, 2017 Report post Posted October 30, 2017 Does the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) need to run on my DPs? I installed a new 2016 server to configure as a distribution point. By default, the BITS service is installed and set to Automatic (Delayed). The service won't stay running though and I'm wondering if that is an issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jepeto 46 Posted November 8, 2017 Report post Posted November 8, 2017 From the MS Page, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/plan-design/configs/site-and-site-system-prerequisites The distribution point site system role doesn't require Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS). When BITS is configured on the distribution point computer, BITS on the distribution point computer isn't used to facilitate the download of content by clients that use BITS.
