Wipe Drive with Active Kill Disk Task Sequence w/ Logs

For those of you who have Active Kill Disk, and want to automate it with ConfigMgr, this is how I’ve done it.  This is very similar to the sdelete TS I made, however sdelete was not approved by our security team, so I had to reinvent with Active Kill disk. Active Kill Disk did offer some additional functionality, so I’ve redone this post with Active Kill Disk for those of you who might want to try this.

• First, install Active Kill Disk and Register it on a Test Computer
• On your Source Server, create a Folder where you will keep the Package Contents
• Copy the Files from your test machine to your Package Folder
• C:\Program Files\LSoft Technologies\Active@ KillDisk Suite X.X (Use 9.2 and above to support x64 Boot Media)
• Skip the KillDiskBootDisk.iso file
  
• Next we’ll use a Batch File that will run the process and log the results to the server.
• Download Scripts here (Contents shown below), and add it to your Package Source
• Create a Package in ConfigMgr, (no program), and distribute the contents.  You’ll then point your TS at this package to grab the files needed.

Task Sequence: (Boot image is WinPE x64)

1. Disable Bitlocker if starting from Windows & Reboot to PE
2. Partition if Necessary (Copied from MDT TS)
3. Bios Settings – Wipe Bios Password
4. Wipe Drive (KillDisk)
   

I’m going to focus on the Wipe Drive section

1. Format and Partition Disk
   
2. Copy KillDisk to X drive (Virtual PE Drive)
   
3. Map Drive L (Used for log files)
   
4. Run Kill Disk
   
5. The HDD Has been wiped clean (Notification on Screen)
   JobComplete.bat –> Launches JobComplete.Txt File created during WipeProcess.bat

Warning to remove the bootable Flash Drive.. (IT will securely wipe that too)
  

 
Sorry, my VM doesn’t provide the best results for the demo, but it’s much easier to grab the screenshots.  Should give you the overall picture of the Task Sequence.
