Group Policy Defrag Scheduling
I have a client that wants to be able to schedule a defrag on several computers at the same time. Is there a way to configure this in the Group Policy somewhere so we dont have to go to each computer and set it up. The server is Server 2003 and the workstations are Windows XP Professional and they are all on the domain.

We are probably looking at around 10 computers. Are those programs free?

Looks like it can only do one computer at a time....Is that correct?
