Win2k server scheduled defrag and cleanup

[Dave Heitz]

i have tried to schedule cleanmgr.exe to run through
scheduled tasks. how do you get it to auto accept all
files? would also like to schedule a defrag of individual
drives. i have tried a few shareware autodefrag software
but they have limited scheduling options. any sugestions?
anything like Norton Systemworks for Win2k Server?

Not too Hip on it all, but, I use PageDFRG.exe with the
setting to Defrag all drives every boot. Then I make sure
to Stop all Services before Defragmenting, when in
Windows, followed by running both Scandisk options on all
drives and restarting. This fixes Networking Problems and
speeds up applications.

Trying to Schedule a defragmentation could be asking for
problems, as files may be initiated and terminated making
the exercise Pointless. I Always run these Processes
after deleting large files or setting up new applications.
