re: BITS, IAS, VSS and RRAS May Stop Responding on SBS 2008 With a Particular NIC Driver

I really appreciate this information, but this should be made a LOT more public, and easier to search for.

On the last two SBS installs I've done, I have spent at least 24 hours solid without sleep trying to determine why WSUS3 seems to stop working and also break the backup functionality (through Symantec or the microsft offering). In the end, I removed WSUS on both occasions which cured the problem, but obviously left me without updates.

After all the research, it became clearer that it was BITS and VSS that caused the problem, and a quick search on that took me straight to this page.

Unfortunately, there are an awful lot of people who will only search for Backup or WSUS. I'm hoping that these comments might make it easier to find!!

Now that I have found this, I am off to bed and will deal with it later on this afternoon!!

Thanks again for the info - I'll pass it on to my supplier too.
