Blancco PreInstall executable allows activating Blancco Drive Eraser software ISO in Windows PE environments, from command line either manually or by a script. Blancco PreInstall installs the Blancco Drive Eraser ISO on the local drive and reboots the system to Blancco Drive Eraser software. Alternatively the system can be shut down after activating Blancco PreInstall, and the Blancco Drive Eraser software will run on next boot.


Blancco Preinstall WinPE Process:
1) The target machine is booted to WinPE OS (for example by PXE/USB/CD)
2) BlanccoPreinstall2.exe is executed (from the WinPE boot media, local drive or network drive). The Preinstall can be launched from the command line or automatically with a script, pointing to the Blancco erasure client ISO image on the WinPE boot media, local or network drive.
3) Blancco Preinstall installs Blancco erasure client software on the local hard drive and additionally also automatically reboots or shuts down depending on the used parameters.
4) The computer boots from the local drive to Blancco Drive Eraser software (which runs independently on its own Blancco operating system)
5) Depending on the configured ISO image settings, Blancco will detect the connected hard drives on the target machine, connect to the Management Console / Blancco Cloud for licenses, erase the drives and send the report back to the Management Console or save the report on a local USB drive.
