    I have SCCM R2 installed, and am able to distribute all of my APP-V packages except for one, which will not download into the cache. It hangs at 0% in the download phase, but a few files in the cache show a file size instead of zero bytes. The virtual app has been resequenced several times, and I have also tried updating the DP. I have tried it on several different computers with the same result. The log files do not show any errors, just that the download has started but it does not make any progress.
      
    Last few lines in ContentTransferManager.log:

    So as a test, I took the directory where the Virtual Application package was installed and made it a regular SCCM package just to see if it would download into the cache. The result is the same; no progress past 0%.

    Has anyone ever seen this behavior before, or is there something that I am missing?

    ;-) You beat me to my punchline.



    To modify the requestFiltering section on BITS-enabled distribution point computers:

    1. Open the applicationHost.config file located in the %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config\ directory on the BITS-enabled distribution point site system.

    2. Search for the <requestFiltering> section.

    3. Determine the file extensions that you will have in the packages on that distribution point. For each file extension that you require, change allowed to true.

      For example, if your package will contain a file with an .mdb extension, change the line <add fileExtension=".mdb" allowed="false" /> to <add fileExtension=".mdb" allowed="true" />.

      Allow only the file extensions required for your packages.

    4. Save and close the applicationHost.config file.

    Is the server running IIS Server 2008?

    As John mentioned if you are running IIS on WIndows Server 2008 there are certain file extensions and directories that are inherently blocked by IIS. You should run the bitsadmin tool to see what jobs are running and what is the error associated with those jobs. Please take a look at the following thread for more troubleshooting details:

    The SCCM server is running on Server 2008, so this is probably the issue. I will test it this morning and let you know how it goes!

    Thanks!

    Yep, that's what the problem was. I removed <add segment="bin" /> from the applicationhost.config file and it started downloading.

    Thank you both for your help!!

    OK, I spoke too soon. I was able to get past a couple of files that were causing issues, but now I can't figure out why this one is blocked:
     
    ERROR FILE:    http://XXXXXX:80/SMS_DP_SMSPKGD$/NCM00034/Java/jre6/lib/zi/Etc/GMT+12 -> C:\WINDOWS\system32\CCM\Cache\ABC00034.2.S-1-5-21-1336516185-864474826-1564958905-17019\Java/jre6/lib/zi/Etc/GMT+12
    ERROR CODE:    0x80190194 - The requested URL does not exist on the server.
    ERROR CONTEXT: 0x00000005 - The error occurred while the remote file was being processed.

    In the applicationhost.config file, there are no restrictions for java, jre6, lib, zi, or etc. I am wondering if it has something to do with the plus in the file name?

    Also, I have Windows set to show protected operating system files and to not hide file extensions, and IIS is configured to allow any unspecified MIME types.

    I'm stumped on this one, any ideas?

    Hi,

    Can you try running the following bitsadmin command directly to download that particular file and see if this also stalls with the same error?

    bitsadmin /transfer myDownloadJob /download /priority normal "http://[File Url]"/file c:\test

    Thanks,

    Bhaskar
