Here’s an FYI on an issue we ran into recently that you might want to be aware of. When using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2013 integrated with System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr R2) and deploying Windows 7, the Task Sequence may continuously fail to download the MDT tools during the post install/state restore phase.
You will also see the following in the smsts.log at the time:
WinHttpSendRequest (hRequest, pszAdditionalHeader != NULL ? pszAdditionalHeader : WINHTTP_NO_ADDITIONAL_HEADERS, (DWORD)-1, NULL, 0, 0, NULL), HRESULT=80072ee2 (e:\nts_sccm_release\sms\framework\tscore\downloadcontent.cpp,1193) InstallSoftware 10/02/2014 05:15:53 2332 (0x091C)

Cause
When using MDT 2013 integrated with ConfigMgr R2 and deploying Windows 7, the Task Sequence will continuously fail to download the MDT tools during the post install/state restore phase *IF* the Set Variable for Drive Letter TS variable is configured to True. This does not occur if it is configured to False.
Workaround
To work around this issue, create the following two Task Sequence variables at the very top of the Task Sequence, immediately below "Execute Task Sequence"
SMSTSDownloadRetryCount = 5
SMSTSDownloadRetryDelay = 15
