Hi,
I have an environment where I wish to wipe the disk every time a machine is refreshed.
Usually DeploymentType=NEWCOMPUTER would solve this. Although I have a shortcut on each machine that a user can run which calls \\server\deploymentshare\scripts\litetouch.vbs which will then try to format the PC while Windows is still running instead of rebooting into winpe and then formatting.
If I leave out DeploymentType, it defaults to a refresh, applies winpe and restarts into winpe then "cleans" the drive and pulls down the wim and extracts the files to OSDISK.
This can take a long time depending on how much existing data has to be "cleaned". We also prefer to format for legal purposes as this is what we advise in court.
After some searching it seems the WipeDisk=TRUE will do exactly what I want, whether it be initiated through PXE boot or through a Windows shortcut to litetouch.vbs
Except this setting doesn't seem to work with MDT 2013 any longer. It is exactly what I need to ensure the disk will be formatted every time before a deploy.
Does anyone know if this setting has been deprecated?
