How to reset preinstalled Windows 2019 server on R740

I have purchased new Dell R740 server with Windows server 2019 Std. For some reason I have to reinstall/Reset Windows Server 2019 on same server. The installation is pre installed with license activated. Now is there any way to reset the server on factory default or I have to reinstall Windows Server 2019 with its media from OS deployment. Kindly guide me how to reset my server to default factory setting with OS.

Hello @Naveed Ashraf,

 

There is no documented steps on full OS default restore, therefore I'm unable to provide you an official step. Based on my experience, usually a restore is done from the backup which administrators do when they start working on the server. I would a link externally, but I am unable to verify that if it is a valid instruction: https://dell.to/3F57Ot6

 

From my suggestion, it would best to restore the OS by reinstalling it.

Thanks a lot. I also searched a lot for solution but not found any. The only option is the reinstallation of OS from DVD provided with Server.
