the goal is to minimize the human interaction.  when an MK3000 is first powered up, it comes to menu with some tools and Apps. the first item on the menu is rapid-deployment which a user can initiate by simply pressing one of the from buttons which activates the scanner. now the user could put a staging barcode in front of it to initiate an OS-update process from an SD card. at least that's the idea. my question is that is possible to create an staging barcode to point to a package on an SD-card? thanks, afshin

Afshin; If I understand you correctly, what you want to do is use RD to initiate an OS Update for which the files have previously been placed on the SD Card in some out-of-band manner.  Is that correct?  And further, you want to do this without any requirement to talk to a Relay Server AT ALL? If you had the luxury of being able to talk to a Relay Server, even if it could not be the source of the OS Update, then the answer would be easy.  You would create a Staging Profile that pulls a Bundle that contains a single Package that contained nothing but an Install Command to run the file on the SD Card, usually a .LNK file, that is used to manually start the OS Update.  But if you can't (or don't want to) talk to a Relay Server, then you cannot load a Package, period. So, then it comes down to whether the version of the RD Client you have in the device is recent enough to have the ProcessManager built-in.  If it does, then you could create a ProcessManager Settings Object and include that, and nothing else, in the Staging Profile, as an Additional Settings.  That Settings would direct the RD Client to launch the same file that would have been launched by the Package, as described above.  To know if this will work, you need to know if the RD Client you have has the support for ProcessManager. The following is from the MSP Online Help:
Important:

The ProcessManager Settings Plug-In is included with MSP Client Software versions 7.03.39 and higher.  If a device has an older version of the MSP Client Software, then ProcessManager Settings Objects will not be supported.  Attempting to deploy a ProcessManager Settings Object to a device with an older version of the MSP Client Software  will result in an Error -841.

On devices that ship with MSP Client Software versions 7.03.39 or higher pre-installed, ProcessManager Settings Objects can be used during Staging of fresh-out-of-the-box devices.  On devices that ship with older versions of the MSP Client Software, ProcessManager Settings Objects cannot be used until after the MSP Client Software is updated to version 7.03.39 or higher.

If files are on a SD card and some human has to do something, why would you need RD instead of simply installing some cab file? If your aim is manually installing something which is to be MSP compatible (so, for instance, provisioning works), there is a way I once did. Basically, a cab which installs the right files on the right locations just as RD would have done. Please find attached a sample cab. Once installed, MSP agent shows these packages as if they were installed by MSP (RD or prov). I once raised a thread on devcentral about all this, search it.
