Cause:

BITS is used for Connector auto-update and according to Microsoft the installation package will be transferred only when the job owner is logged on and a network connection is established. Job owner is the service account used to launch the Connector service on the Windows machine. 



By default this Log on as account is Local System which is always logged on so BITS can download the update package successfully.
The BITS job will be suspended if the Centrify Connector is configured to use AD user whereas this AD user logs off or if the network connection is lost when auto-update is triggered.
