Order specifies a unique value for each RunAsynchronousCommand.

To run services or commands that can start at the same time, use asynchronous commands. To run commands that need to finish before other commands can start, use RunSynchronous instead.

RunAsynchronous commands run in the user context in the auditUser configuration pass and in the system context in the specialize configuration pass.

Values

Order

Specifies a unique integer between 1 and 500.

Important
Unlike synchronous commands, the computer does not wait for one asynchronous command to finish before it starts the next command.

Valid Configuration Passes

auditUser

specialize
