I'm looking to sell a used Dell Poweredge T310 server (Specs at the end) with Server 2008 Standard SP2 and MS SQL Server 2008 R2 on it. I'd like to sell the server as-is, with the OS and installed programs. I've scrubbed many Windows XP through 10 PCs for sale but never a server.
-The merits of selling this server used in the first place could be discussed (I'm seeing this server configuration sell for up to about $250- $300 [ended auctions])
-The merits of selling it with the OS and SQL instead of wiping the disks clean with a utility could be discussed.
Assuming I sell it as-is, once the data is deleted, I will use a program to overwrite the free space to make reasonably certain no data recovery can take place.
-What data and configurations should I remove in order to scrub off any data or reference to the previous owner?
I already deleted all unneeded:
-Users
-User Folders
-Company Shared Folders
backed up, then deleted all
- SQL databases
The server name has a reference to the company name so I think I'd like to change that.
What else is there?
Thanks
