Server Disk Defragmenter

I have an argument with my coworker who runs Defragmentation on the Server every day. I don't think it is necessary, I think once a week is more than enough, what do you think? Do you have any links reffering to that? Thanks.

What kind of server?  Web server?  Yes, unnecessary.  File server?  Could be quite necessary - files change CONSTANTLY on a file server with a significant number of clients.

What defrag tool do you use. If using MS included I would not do more than once a week. If using Diskeeper or similar it will defrage automatically without you having to bother.
