Defrag batch file

[ajstan]

Hi all, I'm not particualry good at writing batch files, so could anyone help me?

I want to put a batch file on the hard drive of a computer and then be able to run it from the server so it defrags the computer.

Help please 'start defrag.exe' is as far as I've got so far...

in the batch file if you put

defrag.exe /C /U /V >C:log.txt

it will run a defrag if necessary and save it all to a log file in C:\

You can change the /C switch for drive letters like this

defrag.exe C: D: /A /U /V >C:log.txt

Parameters:
Value Description
/A Perform analysis on the specified volumes.
/C Perform the operation on all volumes.
/E Perform the operation on all volumes except those specified.
/H Run the operation at normal priority (default is low).
/M Run the operation on each volume in parallel in the background.
/T Track an operation already in progress on the specified volume.
/U Print the progress of the operation on the screen.
/V Print verbose output containing the fragmentation statistics.
/X Perform free space consolidation on the specified volumes.
