RunAsynchronous

RunAsynchronous specifies one or more commands to run asynchronously on the computer during the windowsPE configuration pass. Asynchronous commands are executed in the order specified in the section, but the computer does not wait for the previous command to finish before it runs. Running a service is an example of an asynchronous command.

RunAsynchronous commands are always executed after RunSynchronous commands in the same pass.

All RunAsynchronous commands run in the system context.
