By using Component Designer or Target Designer, you can specify commands that must run during the First Boot Agent (FBA) portion of run-time image deployment. These commands are also referred to as custom resources.
The following table shows the eight FBA commands.
| Command | Description | 
|---|---|
| Generic Command | Executes a generic command during FBA processing. You can call entry points in a DLL, execute a script, or call an application. The Generic Command allows you to specify the exact phase at which to run, and can be called before or after a component. 
 | 
| DLL/COM Registration | Registers DLLs and COM objects. 
 | 
| OC Manager Request | OC Manager is the Optional Component Manager. This allows the integration of external components into the setup process. This command is reserved for Microsoft. | 
| RunOnce Request | Executes a file during FBA or after you log on. You cannot specify a phase number as you can with a Generic Command. For more information, see RunOnce Request Types and Scenarios. | 
| Service Data | Adds Windows XP service information to the run-time image registry. | 
| PnP Device ID | Adds a PnP device driver ID to the run-time image registry. | 
| Component Branch | Specifies which component will replace a specified end-of-life component. Directs Target Designer to use the new component when it builds a configuration. | 
| Shortcut | Creates a short-cut link for an application. |
