BITS fails to launch with "general access denied" error
We're currently having an issue with a Windows Server 2012 R2 box with 57 missing updates. So far, we've narrowed it down to a failure of BITS to launch, but there's very little information that we can find about what is causing the issue.
Every time I try to launch BITS, I get the error, "Windows could not start the Background Intelligent Transfer Service on Local Computer." It also refers to a service-specific error code of -2147024891.
Within the System Event Log, I see, "The Background Intelligent Transfer Service terminated with the following service-specific error: General access denied error."
I don't see anything aside from that.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
