Hi,

I'm looking for a version of defrag.exe for Windows 2000 (Advanced
Server edition).

I need something that runs from the command line so I can add it to a
script that backs up all drives then defrags them.

Downloaded autodefrag.exe but all this does is open the Windows built
in 'Disk Defragmenter' without starting it.

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Dave

See tip 5855 » Freeware single file defragger.
in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsifaq.com

This will not defrag free space, but http://www.kessels.com/defrag/index.html will.

Did I miss anyone suggesting syinternals contig program, its a command line
app that can take a variety of file or folder parameters and can be launched
from batch files as its a non gui.
I must admit I like this one, it hasn't trashed anything I've run it on

Hi,
Yes I did see that in my Google searches but didnt explore further.

I tested the defragger from Joren Kessles (defrag v2.2) and it did
appear to defrag a lot of files, problem was that the Windows built in
reported exactly the same fragmentation level afterwards.
