Where can I get the bitsadmin tool?

I do not have a XP install CD (I have recovery CDs instead). I have searched for bitsadmin.exe and support.cab in which it resides on the install CD without any joy.

Extracting '
bitsadmin.exe' from the 'support.cab' is the recommended procedure to get 'bitsadmin.exe'.

Since you cannot find '
support.cab' on your install CD, the following is a workaround that you can use.

Microsoft Software Updates Service (SUS) provides a diagnostic tool to troubleshoot issues related to SUS and this tool includes '
bitsadmin.exe'.  The following is the location of the tool:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd915706/MPSRPT_SUS.EXE

Please see the README file:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd915706/MPSRPT_SUS_Readme.txt

about what the tool does before downloading and running the tool.

Information about the tool is at

Since this is a SUS diagnostic tool, it will extract the binaries in '%SystemRoot%\MPSReports\MSUS\bin' and then runs the tools to collect the SUS related information. The tool collects the information and stores in files on the machine.

You will be able to copy '
bitsadmin.exe' from '%SystemRoot%\MPSReports\MSUS\bin' directory.

Once you copy '
bitsadmin.exe' to another location, you can remove the '%SystemRoot%\MPSReports' directory and this will remove all the other files that have been extracted and the information collected.
