  • 1.  can we avoid a reboot while running cleanwipe

    Posted Apr 21, 2014 08:13 AM

    Hello Everybody,

     

    I am looking for a solution which can help us to avoid rebooting of any machine(including servers) while running "cleanwipe tool" at the machine.

    No...a reboot is mandatory when running cleanwipe. Essential drivers and services must be removed and this can only be done upon system reboot.

    Not possible, the perfect job is done when the cleanwipe reboots the server

    Rafeeq & Brian- Can we run cleanwipe via command prompt & change the switch settings(make some changes in switch)? Although I am not completely sure about this as it is suggested by one of my colleague haing SEP environment.

    Cleanwipe does not have a silent switch at this time

    Hi,

    Symantec doesn't provide Cleanwipe batch file to it's customers.

    So it's not possible to feed any parameter to run Cleanwipe.exe in silent mode.
     
    I think it's in the pipeline to allow Cleanwipe tool to run in silent mode.
