For whatever reason, I can't get to that connect link. But no, I don't work with Joe. Our case# was 114031311258985. and yes; I understood it was going to be considered for the next full release; but not a CU or hotfix. Which to me potentially means "about a year or so if not longer" not "months" (which maybe I'm wrong, and there's a new on-premise version of ConfigMgr just around the corner... but somehow I don't believe so). And even if there is a whole new version of CM around the corner... that's a bigger deal to deploy (at this company) than a CU or a hotfix.
If it's a Joe Tinney in that connect link you are referring to, I did find that he was the only person in a forum which mentioned he had the same thing; so he and I worked on that Compliance Setting testing to confirm it worked in both our environments. I believe he is using it in production as well (but I can't be positive).

Sure enough, Client Center shows them all as “cleanup”. I’ll give your Compliance Setting a try. Thanks Mike From:[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sherry Kissinger Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2014 3:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MDT-OSD] SCCM 2012 R2 - TSManager.exe remains after a TS completes My guess: Those tsmanager.exe (if you look at them in ClientCenter for example) all have a -cleanup on the end. We opened a case on that, and basically it boiled down to a just-the-wrong-way that something was being called before something else was finished. The bug was not planning on being fixed with a hotfix or in a Cumulative Update. What we have running is a Compliance setting, which resumes those paused processes--because that's what they are. They are AFTER the TS has completed (whether successfully or unsuccessfully, that's irrelevant) and it's doing a -cleanup; but it get's paused. For us anyway, it didn't "hurt" anything, except consume memory and look horrid in running processes like you've seen. Attached is an export from my lab--I think it works/is the same as what we have in production; but just test it. Import it into your CM12 console compliance Settings, it's only a Configuration Item, (no baseline), then make a baseline and deploy it to a test box or 2 making sure you check the box about "remediate" when you deploy it. and see if it resumes and clears up all of those paused processes. I basically have this deployed to every box to watch for and resume this stuff. Please feel free to open a case with Microsoft about this issue to add your voice.

The TS runs from within the full Windows OS and it installs and configures 1E’s PXE Lite. I’ve noticed that after the task sequence completes it leaves behind a TSManager.exe process. Here is a screenshot of Task Manager illustrating it. (I hope the image comes through.) Software Center reports that it completed successfully. I’ve stripped everything out of the task sequence, so it literally has nothing in it and the problem remains. So it isn’t something the PXE Lite software is doing. It’s an SCCM 2012 R2 – CU1 development site. The client is running Server 2008 R2 – SP1 (client version 5.00.7958.1203). Any ideas?
