SCCM Clients Stuck In Provisioning Mode

I have seen sccm clients stuck in provisioning mode several times during OSD deployment. The typical symptoms of clients stuck in provisioning mode are:

Client shows: client certificate none, it should be self-signed or PKI
Client does not receive any policy
The computer have just been installed with a task sequence.

To verify if it is actually stuck in provisioning mode we need to take a look at the registry of the client.
