Add Normal Wipe to PXE Boot Menu
-
Hello All,
I was wondering if someone can walk me through adding the “Normal Wipe” option to the PXE boot menu that wouldn’t require the computer to be registered. If the option is selected and the correct password entered it would start a wipe of the machine.
Thanks.

Have you looked into loading DBAN and put that on the PXE menu? That’s what we currently do and have that setup with a password.

I’m not sure what DBAN is.

DBAN, or Darik’s Boot And Nuke is a 7MB iso file that you can boot a computer from and its only purpose is to wipe drives on computers. It supports many different methods of wiping data, (1 pass zeros, DOD short, DOD Long etc). This is a very useful tool to have to wipe drives and very simple to integrate into the FOG PXE menu.
