Ok, so commenting out that line DID in fact fix the issue.  Just wish I had 
switched the MDT Toolkit package to my test one when I did the original test...

Break out into a command prompt with F8, and try running the command manually:
Cscript.exe x:\deploy\scripts\ztigather.wsf /debug:true /debugcapture 
/inifile:x:\deploy\scripts\bootstrap.ini

Hi Keith,

I actually commented out the following line in ZTIGather.wsf and tried again 
with the same result.

oLogging.CreateEvent 41000, LogTypeInfo, "Processing the " & 
oEnvironment.Item("Phase") & " phase.", oLogging.GetDiscoveryArray


In the BDD.LOG I see the following:
Connection succeeded to MicrosoftVolumeEncryption
There are no encrypted drives
Property IsBDE is now = False

I don't have either of those configured.  Only thing I have configured is 
SLShare for Copying Log Files.

The very next step after isBDE is a CreateEvent call.

Are you posting events to a server using EventShare or EventService? What 
happens when you remove the values?

Ok, so this is a strange issue and I'm hoping I'm not the only one having this 
issue.

Randomly (because I haven't figured out the root cause yet) I'll have systems 
hang during the Gather phase on Getting Local Computer Information: BitLocker.
When manually executing ZTIGather.wsf /debug:true during the Task Sequence, I 
can see that the property IsBDE is set to False, however the ZTIGather.wsf 
script won't proceed with any other checks.  It just hangs there indefinitely.

The really strange part of this, is that during my Task Sequence ZTIGather gets 
ran multiple times.  In some instances, the first call to ZTIGather will cause 
it to hang, in other causes is will process the first couple of ZTIGather calls 
but fail later on in the Task Sequence.

I've also experienced this with various types of hardware and different 
Operating Systems.  In addition, I've seen this in SCCM 2007 w/ MDT 2010 update 
1, SCCM 2012 SP1 with MDT 2012 Update 1.

I'm not going crazy, it happened to a coworker of mine at a different site also.

Any help would be appreciated.  I've exhausted Google/Bing.
