RE: [ActiveDir] Disk Defragmenting

Title: Message

Unless you are doing file sharing on the DCs I am not thinking you need to defrag that much. You should be able to go months without a defrag without issue as defragging the disks won't help the most heavily changed portion of the storage, the DIT. That is cleaned up with DB defrags as Al mentioned. Honestly if the DC is just a DC I wouldn't be overly concerned if it was never defragged.    joe From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edwin Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 9:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Disk Defragmenting OK……Thanks.   I have it scheduled for 2:00am – 4:00 am every day.  There are only 2 people here at that time and they would have already logged into the domain hours before.   Thank you!   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rutherford, Robert Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 8:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Disk Defragmenting   It's safe.. I'd just recommend doing it in a quiet period.   BR   Rob -----Original Message----- From: Edwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 July 2004 13:51 To: Active Directory Subject: [ActiveDir] Disk Defragmenting Would someone please be able to verify if defragmenting a disk is safe on a domain controller?   I want to install and use Diskkeeper but would like to get some assurance of its use before its implementation.   Thank you in advance for your replies.   Edwin This e-mail and the information it contains are confidential and may be privileged.
