Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the progress of Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) jobs by measuring the total bytes transferred and the total files transferred. This script raises an event if the total number of bytes or files transferred exceeds the thresholds you set.
For Windows Sever 2008 and Windows 2008 R2 or later, you can run this script on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. For older versions of Windows, you can only run this script on 32-bit platforms.
This script requires version 2.0 or later of Windows .NET Framework on the computer you want to monitor.
