A bit about SCCM for those who are wondering.. It basically allows you to automate Windows and software installations by using what's called a task sequence. The task sequence is a list of commands, for example, reboot to WinPE, partition, format, install windows, join domain, install software, etc. A task sequence can either be available or required. It can then be assigned to a group of computers that the admin assign, for example "All 32 bit Windows 7 machines" Someone obviously did the number one SCCM nono.. NEVER make a task sequence a requirement for All Systems. :) Here's hoping that maybe, just maybe they had User State Migration enabled so it backed up everyone's data before formatting.
