Xenobiologist Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hi, how many PCs you want to format? Why scripting and not doing it by hand? You can search the forum there should be some scripts.

SpookMeister Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Sounds like you might want to look into some kind of imaging program. Check out http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ [u]Helpful tips:[/u]If you want better answers to your questions, take the time to reproduce your issue in a small "stand alone" example script whenever possible. Also, make sure you tell us 1) what you tried, 2) what you expected to happen, and 3) what happened instead.[u]Useful links:[/u]BrettF's update to LxP's "How to AutoIt" pdfValuater's Autoit 1-2-3 Download page for the latest versions of Autoit and SciTE[quote]<glyph> For example - if you came in here asking "how do I use a jackhammer" we might ask "why do you need to use a jackhammer"<glyph> If the answer to the latter question is "to knock my grandmother's head off to let out the evil spirits that gave her cancer", then maybe the problem is actually unrelated to jackhammers[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaponx Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) Its not a question of difficulty. He just wants it automated. You don't need AutoIt for this though.You can use at.exe or schtasks.exe from the command line to create a task on a schedule.schtasks.exe /Create /SC WEEKLY /ST 11:00:00 /TN AutoFormat /TR "format D: /y"/SC WEEKLY - Run the task weekly/ST 23:00:00 - Start the task at 11pm/TN AutoFormat - This is just an identifier name, it can be anything/TR "format D: /y" - The command to runFor more help run schtasks /? or schtasks /create /? from the command lineBTW - You can't call format like this "format e: -y" or "format e: y". It has to be "format e: /y"EDIT - fixed mispelling Edited December 27, 2007 by weaponx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
