Hi Guys..
I need some urgent help on the DUA. I am trying to add
the DUA for a ne wimage and keeps givig me error saying
"Device Update Agent [Version 5.1.2600.1106, R1507]"
Advanced Property:DUAgent_strLocalCmdFile Cannot be Empty"
I havent done this before and from what I understand this
is a Windows Update component allowing the deployed
embedded OS to update for security patches released by
microsoft. I read the advanced settings and I wasnt sure
wht to put. Can someone help me with thsi please.
thanks
Sid
 
Sid,

It sounds like you don't have something configured
properly. Here is the link that will explain everything
you need to know about DUA. I used this to setup DUA in
my image and everything is working fine for me.

The DUAgent_strLocalCmdFile property is a local poll location. Are you
polling a local device or a web server? I imagine if you've configured DUA
to poll locally, and you don't specify a poll location, it will complain.

If you're polling a local device, this should be something like
C:\DUA\dua_update.dup.

The dua_update.dup is the Device Update Program that you author that
contains all of the commands and procedures to update your system.

Check out a few of the tutorials to get a better sense of how DUA works:

Sid,
When you add the DUA component you need to specify the default values. For
example, if you are going to poll every 5 minutes or weather you are looking
for a local file or http/https...
