Issue/Introduction

There is a need to wipe a disk in WinPE with a Deployment Solution Job/tasks

Environment

Deployment Solution 8.6

Cause

There are several ways to accomplish this. However, here is an example of a job that has proven successful to wipe the drive of a computer in WinPE/Automation without using custom scripts

Resolution

This is an example only and should be used/modified at your own risk.

• Create a new Deployment job and then select a new 'Boot To' task. The 'Boot To' task should have the desired boot environment selected for booting to WinPE

• Add a new 'Erase Disk' task to the job and select the desired disk and erase settings

• Once this task has been added, additional 'Boot To' or Imaging tasks can be performed.
