How to Configure DUA to Poll a Web Server (Windows Embedded Standard 2009)
4/23/2012
With the Device Update Agent (DUA) component, you can apply updates to a remotely deployed run-time image. The DUA service runs on the device, by polling a Web server for any updates.
QFEs for Windows Embedded Standard cannot be directly applied to a deployed run-time image with DUA. Instead, the files that constitute the QFE must first be extracted. Then, you can author a script that copies the files to the device.
You must build a run-time image with the Device Update Agent component added to it before it can be updated.
