Hi Guys

After badgering Microsoft about this problem, they have produced a hotfix for SCCM SP1. It fixes the issue we have had where we are seeing a 90 second delay between task sequence steps, which is dragging out our build process.

Good luck!

Ian

I think it may have been rushed a bit.  I loaded this hotfix on my test server after loading R2.  Prior to the loading the hotfix I was not having the 90 second delay issue.  After loading the fix the problem started to occur.  I tried uninstalling the hotfix and the problem did not go away.  How do I get back to a working state?

I would not suggest installing the fix on R2 as it is designed as a fix for SP1, or the previous SP0 hotfix. And if you didn't have the issue in the first place, what were you tring to prove by installing it?

I would suggest having a look through the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955955/en-us and you could restore the files from another SCCM server. Or re-apply R2.

Out of interest have you experienced the problem with SP1?

Cheers

Ian

Well, to answer your question, another member of my team added the KB to our development server kind of for the sake of trying to be as up to date as possible.  So, we added the update to our production server as well, for consistency sake. 

I was able to get everything working.  The problem was that the MS article does not tell you how to integrate this patch into new installs of the ConfigMgr client.  There's lots of info on patching existing ConfigMgr clients who do not have the msp install.  My problem was getting the client installed, up to the patched version, as part of a new ConfigMgr client install during task sequence (XP OS) rollout.  What the article didn't allude to is that you have to create the "clientpatch" folder under your \\siteserver\sms_sitecode\client folder and include the msp in this folder.  This is in addition to the client\i386\hotfix\KB955955 directory structure that gets created automatically.  Once I added the clientpatch folder everything started working fine.
