Corey,
Thanks for your reply.
If that is the case, is there any way to do a "factory reset" via
ipmitool or does this fall under proprietary functionality? My issue
being, once a server is re-used, I'd like to automatically clear any
previous settings it had (including configured users). While I could
just loop over all configured users, disable them and just 'overwrite'
the user id's that I need - I would much prefer a "cleaner" solution.
Thanks again.
