What do you get if you use some more options?

bitsadmin /util /getieproxy localsystem /conn /?

Also what do you from

bitsadmin /util /version /verbose


If you're not getting enough clues from the standard diagnostics
I would try using ProcMon to supplement them. E.g. that could
help give a name to your "specified" file.


Good luck
