Re: [Unattended] Do a unattended "cleanup" on a old PC

[Jeff Black]

The file you would want to modify is [ \\ntinstall\install\dosbin\install.pl ]. It is a perl script. Honestly my perl is horrid though, so personally I would lean toward modifying my bootable cd (or PXE menu if your booting from the network) to have another option; booting to a linux image that would be scripted to wipe out the disk. By the way, this is a very scary option. One that I would NOT make available. If you really need the ability to do this I would recommend that you warn the person at the console MULTIPLE times that they are about to destroy all data on the computer, that it an irreversable process, etc, etc. I can invision users (even entry level technicians) destroying data that they actually wanted to keep.
