Enabling BITS Logging for Web Site & Services MP Troubleshooting

I've seen several folks in recent months with issues related to background intelligent transfer service (BITS) when using the Web Site & Services MP. Below are instructions for enabling BITS debug logging to gather additional error data.
 

To turn on logging:

Open a command prompt and run the following commands:

logman.exe start trace BITS -ets -o %windir%\System32\bits.log -nb 16 256
-bs 64 -max 256 -f bincirc -p {4A8AAA94-CFC4-46A7-8E4E-17BC45608F0A} 0xfbcf
0xff
net.exe start bits

Then reproduce the error encountered:

Turn off BITS logging:

Logman.exe update bits -fd -ets
Logman.exe stop bits -ets

Errors will be located in the following directory\file:

 %windir%\system32\bits.log and %windir%\system32\bits.bak.
