How to set BITS for Forground with WSUS 3.0 Boswell 5/22/2007 2:03:02 PM I recently uninstalled WSUS 3.0 Beta and installed the full version. The installation process went well. I am having the same issue that I had with version 2.0, downloading from Microsoft. I tried to follow the following instructions like last time, but the osql.exe program was not there. So I copied it from another server and tried it, but it did not work: WORKAROUND Try these steps as a workaround on the WSUS server, if you unable resolve this issue from the proxy/firewall side. 1. net stop WSusService 2. CD "%programfiles%\Update Services\tools\osql\osql.exe" -S <SQL instance name -E -b -n -Q "USE SUSDB update tbConfigurationC set BitsDownloadPriorityForeground=1" 3. net start WSusService [Replace <SQL instance name with your SQL server or %computername%\WSUS if you are using WMSDE] I am currently running Windows 2K3, SP2. If I am missing or you need futher information, please let me know where to find it and I will post it as soon as possible.
