There is not better way to reload computers than the dos/network mode. Throw on a multicast boot disk and you can burn down 100 machines at once in less that 10 minutes.
I am still using dos 2.33 with its limitations and I use smbios to extract the information that WMI does. Then I copy the data to the network to be installed into the database telling me that computer has been reloaded.
kix32.exe can be expanded into the realm of DOS by using a dos extender that would allow it to run in protected mode. Then it would be able to run a 32 bit program that has access to all the hardware.
