Symptoms

When MDT 2010 is integrated with ConfigMgr 2007 and the ZTIBde.wsf script is attempted to be run in a ConfigMgr 2007 task Sequence via a "Run Command Line" task in an x64 Windows OS, the script will fail. Examining the logs reveals the following errors:

Cause

This problem is caused by an error in the ZTIBde.wsf script that causes it not to find Defrag.exe in x64 Windows OSes. Defrag.exe is used by the script to defragment the existing partition before shrinking it to create the partition needed by BitLocker.

Resolution

To resolve the problem, upgrade to MDT 2010 Update 1. The ZTIBde.wsf script has been corrected in MDT 2010 Update 1. If an upgrade to MDT 2010 Update 1 is not possible, the ZTIBde.wsf script in MDT 2010 can be corrected using the below steps:

In the ConfigMgr 2007 Admin Console, navigate to the "Computer Management" --> "Software Distribution" --> "Packages" node.
Under the "Packages" node, locate the the MDT 2010 Toolkit Package.
Right click on the MDT 2010 Toolkit Package and choose "Properties".
Click on the "Data Source" tab. Under "Source directory" determine the location of the MDT 2010 Toolkit Package source files.
Click on the "OK" button to close the MDT 2010 Toolkit Package properties window.
Navigate to the directory determined in Step 4 and open the "Scripts" folder.
Make a back copy of the ZTIBde.wsf file.
Right click on the original ZTIBde.wsf file and choose "Edit". This should open the ZTIBde.wsf script in Notepad.exe.
Find the following line in the ZTIBde.wsf script:

ElseIf oFSO.FileExists(oEnv("SystemRoot") & "\sysnative\ServerManagerCmd.exe") then

and change it to

ElseIf oFSO.FileExists(oEnv("SystemRoot") & "\sysnative\defrag.exe") then
Save and close the file in Notepad. When saving the file, make sure that the .txt extension is not added onto the file. The files should maintain the original name of ZTIBde.wsf.
In the ConfigMgr 2007 Admin Console, update the Distribution Points that the MDT 2010 Toolkit Package are on.
