"reset" functionality in Windows SteadyState

I am running some upgrade testing on a computer with Windows SteadyState.

The workflow is "upgrade, write down results, reset to default condition".

However, I can't seem to dig up a button that says, "Reset Windows Now!", which would be handy.

Is there such a thing?

Thanks!

• I believe that the only way to revert back to the original system state in steady state is to reboot the computer.

• You should be able to script this with something like this (setting CurrentMode to WDP_MODE_DISCARD), but AFAIK you would then also have to reboot:

  set objWbemServices = GetObject ("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\wmi")
  set setWdpObjects   = objWbemServices.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM WDP_Control")
  
  for each objWdp in setWdpObjects
     objWdp.CurrentMode  = WDP_MODE_DISCARD
     objWdp.Put
  next
