You can update the DUA service on a run-time image by editing the registry settings with regedit, or by adding the updates to a Device Update Program.
The following table shows the values you can edit in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DUAgent\Parameters\Config registry key.
| Value | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
RunOnStart |
REG_DWORD |
1 |
0 = Do not poll when started. 1 = Poll immediately when started. |
PollToD |
REG_BINARY |
Unspecified |
Unspecified = Do not run. Specified = Run at specified day and hour. An array can contain a maximum of seven PollToD structures, where each structure is a bitfield, as shown in the following lists: Day and hour on which to poll:
Hour of the day:

PollInterval |
REG_DWORD |
Unspecified |
Specified = Poll every interval. Intervals are specified in seconds. Unspecified = Do not run periodically. In this case, the time to run defaults to a combination of the RunOnStart and StartTime values. |
PollJitter |
REG_DWORD |
Unspecified |
1 = Randomize polling. Polling occurs once in each interval. This poll is randomly distributed. 0 = Use the regular polling interval without jitter. Default behavior if PollJitter is unspecified. |

WorkingDir |
REG_EXPAND_SZ |
Unspecified |
Path to working folder and the command file that may contain environment variables. The expanded path must be less than _MAX_PATH bytes. Unspecified = WorkingDir is set to TEMP or TMP. If neither of these environment variables are set, then WINDIR is used. Use the working directory as returned from the GetCurrentDirectory function. |
The following table shows the values you must add to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DUAgent\Parameters\Config\Sessions\0000 registry key.

CmdFile |
REG_EXPAND_SZ |

The following table shows the values to use for an HTTP path.
| Value | Type | Default | Description |

ProxyAccessType |
REG_DWORD |
Unspecified |
Unspecified = Proxy name. 0 = Default proxy. Retrieves the proxy settings from the registry and prevents the use of a startup script or an Internet setup (.ins) file. Autoproxy features are not implemented. 1 = No proxy. Resolves all host names locally. 3 = Named proxy. Passes requests to the proxy server unless a proxy bypass list is supplied and the name to be resolved bypasses the proxy. |
ProxyName |
REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ |
Unspecified |
A string value using environment variables that defines the proxy name. String that specifies the name of the proxy server to use when proxy access is specified by setting ProxyAccessType to 3. Only CERN type proxies are recognized for HTTP. Do not specify this parameter if ProxyAccessType is not set to 3. |
ProxyBypassList |
REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ |
Unspecified |
A string value that uses environment variables to define the proxy bypass list. Unspecified = No bypass list. String that contains an optional list of host names, IP addresses, or both, that should not be routed through the proxy when ProxyAccessType is set to 3. The list can contain wildcards. If you use an empty string, it is used as the proxy bypass list. If this parameter specifies the "<local>" macro as the only entry, the function bypasses all host names that do not contain a period. Do not specify this parameter if ProxyAccessType is not set to 3. |
HostName |
REG_SZ |
Unspecified |
Host name without environment variables. Host name for HTTP server. |
HostName |
REG_EXPAND_SZ |
Unspecified |

ProtocolReferrer |
REG_SZ |
Unspecified |
Protocol referrer. |
ProtocolReferrer |
REG_EXPAND_SZ |
Unspecified |
Referrer coming from environment variables on this device. Unspecified = NULL. |
ProtocolAcceptTypes |
REG_MULTI_SZ |
Unspecified |
Specified = Media types that Device Update Agent accepts. HTTP client accepts types such as text/*. Accept types are specified one per line. Unspecified = Servers generally interpret this as an indication that the client accepts all media types. This setting applies to the command file poll location only. |
CmdFile |
REG_SZ |
Unspecified |
Fully qualified path to the command file. Path must be less than _MAX_PATH bytes. |
CmdFile |
REG_EXPAND_SZ |
Unspecified |
Path to command file that may contain environment variables on this device. Expanded path must be less than _MAX_PATH bytes. Unspecified = No action required. |
AutoLogonLevel |
REG_DWORD |
