SMS 2003 - BITS Installation Error...

[Legazy]

Hi everyone, I was hoping you guys could help me out with this, I can't seem to get past this installation error for some reason and I have no idea on how to go about correcting this. I'm installing SMS 2003 on a Windows 2003 Standard Enterprise server with SQL 2000 Enterprise edition.

Message ID: 4957
Process ID: 4000
Thread ID: 2764
Component: SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER

SMS Site Component Manager failed to install this component, because it either can't find or configure Internet Information Services Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) Server Extensions.

Possible cause: Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is not installed or running.
Solution: Use Add/Remove Programs to install Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) .

Possible cause: SMS Site Component Manager does not have sufficient access rights to administer and configure Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) on this site system.
Solution: Verify that the Site System Connection accounts are properly configured to allow SMS to administer the site system.

SMS Site Component Manager cannot install component SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER until Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is installed and configured correctly. Refer to your SMS documentation or the Microsoft Knowledge Base for further information.

Have you installed bits on the server? (its installed by defaualt in 2003 server

That is its NOT installed by default

 

[tbrennans]

On Windows Server 2003 family, use the Windows Components Wizard to install the BITS server extension. From Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs. Then, select Add/Remove Windows Components to display the Windows Components Wizard. The BITS server extension is a subcomponent of Internet Information Services (IIS) which is a sub-component of Web Application Server.


SO you'll need IIS6 on this box too, if its not there.
