How to delete files and mails beyond recovery?

[John7]

Hi,


Some customers want to erase beyond recovery:
- empty disk space
- swap file
- deleted files
- deleted emails (outlook/exchange)
- windows temps
- install temps
- local user data temps
- etc.

The solution should:
- Require no/very little enduser knowledge.
- Preferrably work automatic at boot / shutdown / scheduler.
- Use Windows internal features (via registry keys / tools / whatever).
- Work for stand alone PC's and/or in Win SBS2003 environment
(eventually also on the SBS server).

A mix of internal settings and externnal tools is also acceptable
Ccleaner comes close but does not cover all.


TIA,
John7

the only way to delete email beyond recovery would be to set DIR to zero,
configure a mailbox management policy to delete everything from the deleted
items folder every night, not allow creation of pst files, not ever backup
Exchange, enable circular logging, and configure the SG to zero out deleted
database pages...even that probably wouldn't do it...it certainly would
throw a wrench into DR when the server crashes, or the DBs becomes
corrupt...
