is there a way to schedule automatic defraging a couple of
nights a week on a win2k server?

Actually there are native tools =)

Use the scheduled tasks tool to run the command line defrag (defrag.exe):
Usage:
defrag <volume> [-a] [-f] [-v] [-?]
volume drive letter or mount point (d: or d:\vol\mountpoint)
-a Analyze only
-f Force defragmentation even if free space is low
-v Verbose output
