Multiple successive updates with DUA

[Pascal]

Hi,



I would like to know what I need to do to make the DUA retrieve and execute
multiple updates in sequence. For example, if I have five DUA scripts and
each of them modifies the CmdFile registry entry so it point to the next one
like:



script1 -> script2 -> script3 -> script4 -> script5



When the DUA service starts, it retrieves and execute script1, modifies the
CmdFile registry entry to script2 and stopped. After that, script2 is
executed only at the next DUA execution. Is it possible to tell the DUA to
retrieve and execute each script in sequence, without waiting?



Thanks.



Pascal.

Pascal,
Here is an example of what you need to do in order to make this work:
You can apply all of the QFE's at once, but it is a better idea to do them
one at a time. If you don't want to wait you could roll up all of the
updates into one QFE or you could adjust the polling frequency to just a
couple of minutes apart.
