dcopenhaver -> Unable to find the SMS Task Sequencer. The deployment will not proceed. (9/25/2008 8:11:46 PM)

MDT 2008 Update 1

subject of this post is the error message I am getting. I am doing a custom
partition config which succeeds, the custom wim image is succesfully applied
(win 2k3), reboots and the sysprep mini setup portion runs fine but then
after that next reboot I get that error.

I'm not trying to apply the wim to any partition other than c: (I know thats
not supported). Essesntially I have a task that is a scripted diskpart.exe
session, much the same way MDT's own LTIDiskpart.wsf does.
I had read that you are supposed to be able to customize partitioning using
diskpart.exe in MDT deployments, and I know my partitions are created just
fine, so what MDT thing I'm I missing here that needs to be done to ensure
the process completes?

My only guess right now is that I need to add the
RestoreEnvironment routine to the end of my script, just like it is called
at the end of LTIDiskpart.wsf... but I looked at it and it seems to simply
update any environment variables that changed, which in my custom script
case there are none, and it also copies log files. Neither of these things
seem like a cause for my issue, but I'll try just in case. I have no other
leads at the moment so any help would be very much appreciated.
thanks.

I recently saw this when our techs lost rights to the deployment share.  the process tried to connect to the deployment share (DEPLOYROOT) when the system booted and it could not connect to get the task sequence, so they got this message.
Check the logs and see what DEPLOYROOT is set to and make sure it is available.
