Hi, I have a program that resets the computer at 3:30 in the morning and when it boots back up, it runs scandisk and defrag (the windows version). &nbsp;Windows 2000, however runs these out of the managment console. &nbsp;Is there any way that I can run scandisk and defrag from a command line? &nbsp;(i.e.- in windows 98, I run defrag with this command line (which is put in my program): &nbsp;<br />
<br />
&quot;c:\windows\defrag.exe c: /f /noprompt&quot;<br />
<br />
And I run scandisk with this one:<br />
<br />
&quot;c:\windows\scandskw.exe c: /n /silent&quot;<br />
<br />
How can I do something exactly like this in Windows 2000?

Hi, I have a program that resets the computer at 3:30 in the morning and when it boots back up, it runs scandisk and defrag (the windows version).  Windows 2000, however runs these out of the managment console.  Is there any way that I can run scandisk and defrag from a command line?  (i.e.- in windows 98, I run defrag with this command line (which is put in my program):  

"c:\windows\defrag.exe c: /f /noprompt"

And I run scandisk with this one:

"c:\windows\scandskw.exe c: /n /silent"

Run scandisk and defrag from command line

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
