 MDT 2010 Annoyances #7 - ZTI Task Sequence may hang in State Restore phase when deploying Windows 7 x64 Minimize

When using MDT 2010 Zero Touch to deploy Windows 7 x64 the Task Sequence may hang in State Restore phase. The hang occurs when the Use MDT Toolkit Action tries to run.

Cause:
It's actually not MDT's fault, its a bug in ConfigMgr, and it will occur for every script/action that tries to use the Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment. The root cause is an invalid registry entry preventing tscore.dll from registering.

Workaround:
Re-register tscore.dll by adding a custom action (Run command line) before the Use MDT Tookit Package action.

Regsvr32 /s "%WINDIR%\System32\CCM\tscore.dll"

Note: Since this is x64 you may think you would need to register the tscore.dll in the %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\CCM folder but since the Task Sequence is running with registry redirection, SysWOW64 and System32 are the same thing.

This solution didn't work for me, but the following command did solve it for me: cmd.exe /c copy "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\CCM\TsCore.dll" "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\"

Regards,
Kris
