Is there a way to remotely wipe Macs either through worklet or script using Automox? Essecially looking for something similar to a factory reset. I found a post for Windows but not Mac.
Thanks for the advice!

Discuss on SlackI’d imagine this one will require the use of an MDM tool. I wouldn’t think that would be a scriptable thing with Mac, especially if it is already enrolled.
#!/bin/bash
# This will erase all data on your Mac and reinstall macOS
# Unmount disk
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk0
# Erase disk
diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ "Macintosh HD" /dev/disk0
# Reinstall macOS
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to activate' -e 'tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder" to keystroke "d" using {command down, shift down}'
# Inform user
echo "Factory reset complete. Your Mac will now restart and begin the macOS installation process."
this has not been tested.
