Initializing tapes on Win2K

When our servers were under Windows/NT, using the backup utility to perform a quick erase of tapes was quite easy.
This function seems to be lacking under Windows 2000 server.
Does anyone have a quick,simple solution that I can set up for use by junior operations staff?
Ideally, I would like to keep them "in the box" and just click on a shortcut to a command file after inserting a tape.
So, if there is a command-line option to initialize a tape (place a new header on it), that would be ideal

TIA
