Strange Error when creating MDT 2010 task Sequence

[anyweb]

You've just installed SCCM 2007 SP2 and MDT 2010 and want to use MDT's features in SCCM so you try to create a Microsoft Deployment Toolkit task sequence, all goes well until the end of the task sequence when you get a bizarre error:

 

"Could not load file or assembly 'system.management.automation, version 1.0.0 0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified"

 

As a quick test, start up Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 and click on the Components node. Click on Check for Updates.

 

 

If you get the same error repeated above (a few times followed by a missing key error) then you need to install Windows Powershell.

 

Startup Server Manager, click on Features, Click on Add Features and select Windows Powershell.

 

 

Once Windows Powershell is installed, close the MDT MMC and start it again. Do the Check For Updates test,

 

if it works fine this time then your error creating the SCCM task sequence should also be resolved.
