WSUS updates NEVER slow down/clog up the circuits. Now, on the other hand... we do use this anitivirus application called Vipre which is not so nice with bandwidth restrictions (I wish it used BITS!!!!) ;-P ________________________________ From: David Lum [mailto:david....@nwea.org] Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2009 9:19 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: BITS question Question about Microsoft BITS: If a machine is on a fast LAN link locally but connected to a remote office via slow link, how does BITS determine network bandwidth for throttling? IE remote office grabbing Windows Updates via WSUS – does the application using BITS do some end-to-end test? My network guy is telling me WSUS updates for 17 PC’s is killing T1 bandwidth (we have VoIP on the same link). I know I can throttle BITS via GPO but would like to know if I *need* to make the change or not. Any links to MS articles on BITS would be helpful. I already found this one and downloaded the Word doc: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/bits.mspx Thanks, David Lum // SYSTEMS ENGINEER NORTHWEST EVALUATION ASSOCIATION (Desk) 971.222.1025 // (Cell) 503.267.9764 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
