Note
The program that you specify to run first does not need to be advertised separately.

If this option is selected, the following fields must be completed:

• Package: Specifies the package containing the program that must run before this program.
  
  
• Program: Specifies the program that must run first.
  
  

In addition, the following option is available:

• Always run this program first: Specifies whether the program that runs first should run every time the advertised program runs, regardless of previous run history.
  
  If the program that runs first has been run successfully, Configuration Manager 2007 does not automatically rerun it, even if the dependent program is on a recurring schedule.

Disable this program on computers where it is advertised
