Laura, The one that comes with Windows is a lite version of a program called DISKEEPER from executive Software. http://www.executive.com/defrag/defrag.asp http://www.executive.com/diskeeper/adminconsole.asp
With version 8.0 Admin Console you can monitor all of the servers with it installed, push the installation and more I believe that this is an additional license on top of the per server license for Diskeeper Server Standard Edition or Diskeeper Server Enterprise Edition. We are not using it right now, but I'm trying to get budget dollars for it next year. Another option is a program called AUTODEFRAG by Morphasys http://www.morphasys.com/autodefrag/ this allows you to schedule defrag using the Windows scheduler. It's a pretty nifty program for free :-) I've been using it on some of the file servers we have here with pretty good results. Hope this helps. I'm also looking forward to answers everyone else may have before I turn in my budget "wish-list" Thanks, Raymond -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hunter, Laura E.

I'm tyring to find something nicely schedule-able and manage-able from a single console, and the built-in 200/3 jobbie (while a welcome addition) isn't quite cutting the mustard. Thanks! Laura E.
