FIX – SCCM TS environment is not initialized Error 0x80007002

Let’s check the possible solution to fix the SCCM TS environment is not initialized Error 0x80007002. Since the deployment task sequence was using the auto-apply task sequence step for some onboarded models in SCCM.

The Auto Apply steps scan the hardware, find the plug-and-play IDs for all devices present on the system, and send them to the management point returns a list of compatible drivers from the driver catalog for each hardware device. For each hardware device, the task sequence picks the best driver. 

Here the task sequence was falling to find compatible drivers from the scan. We had excluded the deployed model with WMI query from the auto apply task sequence step and reinitiated the deployment. It worked successfully for us without an issue.

For Example, Select Add a condition > Query WMI from the drop-down menu to create a query not to target this step to the model. You can check more detailed steps to add a WMI query.
