First Boot Agent (FBA) runs during the first boot of the run-time image, after the image is deployed to a device. The following list shows some of the tasks that are performed by FBA:
- Tasks that are more practical to perform at run time, such as registering a Component Object Model (COM) server
- Tasks that cannot be performed while a run-time image is being designed or built, such as:
- Plug and Play device detection and configuration
- COM registration
- Security installation
- Catalog registration
- Network configuration
- Dynamic-link library (DLL) registration
- Profile initialization
You can add tasks to FBA by defining a custom resource in either Component Designer or Target Designer. These include FBA generic commands, FBA DLL/COM registration, RunOnce requests, application shortcuts, and populating the registry with service data and PnP device IDs.
