Failed to Run Task Sequence – 0x80072EE7

If you receive the following error: “An error occurred while retrieving policy for this computer (0x80072EE7)” when Task Sequence Wizard starts, this can happen if you have DHCP or DNS problems.

You should check if you can contact the DHCP server in order to get an IP address or you can configure a static IP address.


If you have a switch with STP enabled, you might want to read this post.
