80072efe = "The connection with the server was terminated abnormally"

This is a winhttp error meaning it was issued by the client because of a failure to communicate with IIS. Ultimately, this means that "something" interrupted the session. What that "something" is is outside the control or visibility of ConfigMgr and is most likely network related.

Setting the two task sequence variables is a possible solution (of course make sure you are using SMSTSDownloadRetryCount and SMSTSDownloadRetryDelay with no spaces) for a known timing issue in the task sequence engine.

FInally, allowing anonymous client connections is not recommended and is not needed.

thanks for reply yes the variables that i am using are with no space,   when you state a "failure to communicate with the IIS " you are talking about the IIS of the local DP or the SCCM ? also i going to double check the network .

It's most likely the DP, but the log does tell you where it's trying to connect to.

After troubleshooting   was a network problem, we tested with local  DP in same subnet/lan and  work fine, so we are  going to check the network /firewall issues. 

thanks for your help .
