Is it possible to defrag on reboot?

I guess it is possible.  Lots of simple adware programs (Spybot for example) has the functionality to run before anything else has started, so that it is able to remove hard-seated spyware.

I haven't seen a tool for utilising the same process with defrag, but technically it should be possible.

Is your reasoning that "services" is hogging the CPU and taking too long to load?  If that is the case, you have something else wrong.  I am currently working on that type of problem.

Hi back,

 No I'm just looking for something better than RunOnce or something like that. Looking for something that will run a command-line defrag.exe or contig.exe&defrag.exe after a reboot, before anything else starts so every file can get defragmented. On SBS servers, I've heard fragmentation is not "that" bad, but it's fragmented alot, and a defrag while server is normally booted does about nothing.

Thanks,

Other thing to do is trial a 3rd party defrag tool, which has many more options than windows built-in defrag.

http://www.oo-software.com/smb/en/products/oodefragserver/index.html

Very powerful, can even fragment a single file/directory.  Has 5 modes of defrag to choose from, and seems to work well.

Last time I looked, there was a free trial available.  No I don't work for this company!

Thanks markus,

 Didn't know that OO did a Windows Server version of that software, will be trying it if possible, thanks alot.

Also get a look at Contig + Power Defragmenter GUI which is a very good free solution too.

I'm looking for a way to start a script at each reboot on my SBS 2003 server (not a client script that runs when a client logs on, but a script that runs when Windows is opening, as soon as possible in the load.

Thanks again,

Thank you very much mwecomputers, will get the trial and a look at the pricing.

Will be waiting for any free idea for a day or two and I will assign points.

Thanks again,
