Format Factory 32 Bits Para Windows 7
Tommye Hope
I've looked for this answer online and have come across the "systemreset -factoryreset" command which works, but it comes up with the prompt asking if I want to keep my files or remove everything, I want to remove everything, but without the prompt.
We are not doing this from any pre-exiting images, and our laptops are running the pre-loaded Windows 10 Pro install, we are just using the in-built Windows 10 "reset this PC" feature as we have no MDM configured. We just want the laptops to be totally reset so they don't contain any company information, we're not bothered about completing the OOBE once they are wiped.
We are trying to accomplish this remotely as our users are all at home, so I need to automate it and have no user involvement in the process, I just want it to factory reset, and bring the laptop up to the off-the-shelf state configuration. We have the facility to push commands and scripts to the laptops so was hoping to do this via powershell.
The systemreset command will show interface to user and it is behavior by design , however if you are able to manage devices using Configuration Manager, you could do it using Full Wipe, take a look at:
-us/mem/configmgr/mdm/deploy-use/wipe-lock-reset-devices
From what I know there is no script to run it in silence mode and wipe system and it is behavior by design, so let say if there is possibility to do so, cybercriminals might run that script and user will lose Windows but it is available in Configuration Manager or Intune, it means PC is being managed by trusted administrator.
$methodname can bei either "doWipeMethod" or "doWipeProtectedMethod". The later one will also wipe all data from the disks, especially if you want to refurbish the devices. The downside is that "doWipeProtectedMethod" can leave some clients (depending on configuration and hardware) in an unbootable state.
Additionally "doWipeMethod" can be canceled by the user (power cycle for example), "doWipeProtectedMethod" cannot be canceled. It automatically resumes after a reboot until done. The higher risk ist worth it most of the time. If you want to be sure that the devices will be in a usable state after the wipe, use "doWipeMethod" instead.
If it is important to fully wipe the data from the disks (i.e. non-recoverable) you should make sure that all disks are bitlocker encrypted. Only with encryption you can be sure that no data is recoverable with this method.
Another way, which you can do remotely and without psexec (group policy for example), would be to create a scheduled task running as SYSTEM and executing the script. You can then execute the task on demand or with a time/date schedule.
The "OEM stuff" is found in C:\Recovery\*. If you remove all contents in this folder before you initiate the device reset, it should restore a clean windows installation without any "OEM stuff". Keep in mind though, that certain driver packages will be migrated to the new installation. Sometimes these can contain additional software packages included in the device driver package (for example audio control panels from the audio driver).
@dretzer I realized the computer I was running it on didn't have a recovery partition so even running the "systemreset -cleanpc" command wasn't working.
Kaseya allows you to run scripts as System - so even though I was running locally in picture - I was trying as System most of the time.
Thanks for the help either way.
yes. thanks. I get less HP stuff restored after a reset if I delete C:\Recevery before, but still some bits I do not want. where is it getting these last bits from that performing a fresh start from intune seems to ignore? I want omit these too
Might have to look into manual cloud reinstall at shift-f10 on first boot on each machine or a bootable USB with an unattended xml to just blow the hard drive away and start again without user interaction.

A software authorization mechanism that enables you to control which users have accessto a server. Users can define ACL rules that are specific to aparticular file or directory, granting or denying access to one or more usersor groups.
A distributed directory service included with Microsoft Windows Server operating systems. It providesboth authentication of user credentials and authorization of user access levels to networked resources.
A preboot or out-of-band platform management specification that enables a device, such asan intelligent Ethernet controller, to autonomously scan ASF-compliant sensors on the motherboard for voltage,temperature, or other excursions and to send Remote Management and Control Protocol (RMCP)alerts according to the Platform Event Trap (PET) specification. ASF was intended primarilyfor out-of-band management functions for client desktops. ASF is defined by the Distributed ManagementTask Force (DMTF).
The process that verifies the identity of a user in a communication session,or a device or other entity in a computer system, before that user,device, or other entity can access system resources. Session authentication can work intwo directions. A server authenticates a client to make access-control decisions. The client canauthenticate the server as well. With Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the client alwaysauthenticates the server.
On a rackmounted server, available power is the sum of all the powerthat the power supplies can provide. On a server module, available power isthe amount of power the chassis is willing to provide to the servermodule.
A device used to manage chassis environmental, configuration, and service functions, and receiveevent data from other parts of the system. It receives data through sensorinterfaces and interprets this data by using the sensor data record (SDR) towhich it provides an interface. The BMC provides another interface to the systemevent log (SEL). Typical functions of the BMC are to measure processor temperature, powersupply values, and cooling fan status. The BMC can take autonomous action topreserve system integrity.
In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), this refers to the authentication processthat LDAP requires when users access the LDAP directory. Authentication occurs when the LDAPclient binds to the LDAP server.
A program contained in read-only memory (ROM) that automatically runs at system power-onto control the first stage of system initialization and hardware tests. The bootloader then transfers control to a more complex program that loads the operating system.
A copy of original data that is stored locally, often with instructions orthe most frequently accessed information. Cached data does not have to be retrievedfrom a remote server again when requested. A cache increases effective memory transferrates and processor speed.
A trusted organization that issues public key certificates and provides identification to theowner of the certificate. A public key Certificate Authority issues certificates that statea relationship between an entity named in the certificate, and a public keythat belongs to that entity, which is also present in the certificate.
A specification that sets standards for accessing technical support information about computer hardwareand software. DMI is hardware and operating system (OS) independent, and can manage workstations,servers, or other computing systems. DMI is defined by the Distributed Management TaskForce (DMTF).
A certification of the source of digital data. A digital signature is anumber derived from a public key cryptographic process. If the data is modifiedafter the signature was created, the signature becomes invalid. For this reason, adigital signature can ensure data integrity and detection of data modification.
In the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a unique text string that identifiesan entry's name and location within the directory. A DN can be afully qualified domain name (FQDN) that includes the complete path from the rootof the tree.
A consortium of over 200 companies that authors and promotes standards for thepurpose of furthering the ability to remotely manage computer systems. Specifications from theDTMF include the Desktop Management Interface (DMI), the Common Information Model (CIM), and theAlert Standard Format (ASF).
An industry-standard type of local area network (LAN) that enables real-time communication betweensystems connected directly through cables. Ethernet uses a Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)algorithm as its access method, wherein all nodes listen for, and any nodecan begin transmitting data. If multiple nodes attempt to transmit at the sametime (a collision), the transmitting nodes wait for a random time before attempting totransmit again.
