There are third party utilities that will do it. But I need an official Microsoft method of doing it. And if it's nuke and pave, then it's nuke and pave.

I'm not even sure the nuke and pave method is legit as well, as it requires all kinds of fun interrupting of the installation process to make it happen.

That's why I'm in search of anything Microsoft. My google-fu fails me.

You don't have to interrupt the install process, boot into recover mode, I think there is a format utility in there.

Yeup, with my new Mikrotik router.

Badass. Can I come see it tonight?

Got work to do, unfortunately. Have to focus on that stuff, tomorrow morning too.

Aahhhhhhh, virtual disaster recovery. So much fun.

Oh way to be!

One of the main reasons I was thinking Cisco was due to the ability to get in SFPs to hook into anything I needed. Core switches, straight fiber into my servers, who knows what I could do.

The Mikrotik gear has multiple SFPs plus switching gear to handle anything. So jacking into my Cisco gear over fiber is a snap, or I can go up to 10G and get real hard core.

I can run anything at that setup, it will never choke on bandwidth. Time to whip out the AMEX, I've got a purchase to make.

that will cut their virus exposure way down though!

Yay, a fellow Cadillac owner! I knew I liked you for a reason.

thanks for posting the link.. I'll read it while my server is updating tomorrow.

Yeah, wasn't part of SW back in those days. Wonder how it was. Weirder there was a smurf (Product Advisor) with regular meetings just a few miles from I've been living, yet knew nothing of it. Visibility is a funny thing.

Changes do reflect quite a bit on the personality of the top dog mod (CM, or whatever): MyShell and on down the line.

Yes, things have changed a lot. Most of those really early people are here too. Andy, Talon63, MyShell.... none too active but they are here and watching stuff. For one thing, it was REALLY quiet, lol. Only a few posts per day. Nothing like now. Not even anything like here.
