There are plenty of options: Once, Continuously, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 or 72 Hours. Of course you can manually set it to run at specified periods if you are a control freak. It will run as necessary from every hour to only once a week. New in this version is the “Smart Scheduling” option which, when enabled, allows the Diskeeper Engine to monitor fragmentation on the drives and schedule itself accordingly.
EXECUTIVE DISKKEEPER MANUAL
There’s another set of 5 priorities for tuning manual de-fragmentation.Īs I maintain these 2 test beds over the wire I find it very useful to be able to set up and check on all the workstations from the Diskeeper Server Console. There are 5 different settings for priority, so you can tune your results for the automated de-fragmentation. Keep in mind these servers are running the whole BackOffice Suite on one box so they are already overworked. Running at the lowest priority setting I have not had a complaint from a single user about the network being slow. I have been using the Set It and Forget It option to have the systems maintained to prevent the buildup of fragmentation. It has been flawless over the last 45 days since installation. I have it installed on 2 Microsoft BackOffice SmallBusinessServer networks (1 SBS-W2K & 1 SBS-4.5) as well as a few standalone systems. Administrators who require network controls, automatic scheduling, and the capability to simultaneously defragment multiple partitions, and MFT and paging files, should consider upgrading to a third-party, networkableĪfter the experience of 6.0 bringing my system to it knees (no data loss just intense CPU utilization), I wanted to make very sure the Second Edition was rock solid before recommending it to anyone. It is not intended to be used for network defragmentation.
To maintain peak performance when using Windows 2000, the condition of your disks should be analyzed on a regular basis-preferably once a week for moderate-to-heavy use less frequently for intermittent use-and defragmentation performed as needed.ĭisk Defragmenter is designed primarily for stand-alone machines and users with Administrator privileges. “ File fragmentation can negatively affect operating system speed and performance.

EXECUTIVE DISKKEEPER UPGRADE
The Second Edition upgrade of Diskeeper is free to anyone who has purchased the earlier Diskeeper 6.0 version.įor those of you who are not aware, the Microsoft Defragmenter in Windows 2000 is based on the Diskeeper Engine, but it is an older, less feature-rich version It now works in about half the time of the 5.0 version. Also improved is the boot-time-defragmenter which had been slow.
EXECUTIVE DISKKEEPER SOFTWARE
Not only did Executive Software fix the problems, they actually sped up the de-fragmentation process even more. However the timely release of Second Edition is to be applauded. My personal experience with the initial edition caused me to remove it from the system.
They were random (not easily reproducible) bugs, which is a software developer’s worst nightmare. It was the first certified utility for Windows 2000, but there were numerous problems when version 6.0 originally shipped. If you follow my writing you know I have been a proponent of Diskeeper since its early days.
