Please use below procedure to defragment all partitions,

Major steps by procedures:

Trigger defragmentation of using auslogics command line utility (cdefrag.exe)
Uninstall the tool

Note:

Run the script as “system user”
No input requires

I’m not quite sure what is going on, but this is the message that I received:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\disk-defrag-setup.exe - 7910KB None None Another instance is already running. Auslogics defragmentation has been uninstalled successfully

mediamoon · April 10, 2017, 7:30pm

Hmmmm… It looks like I had to uninstall Auslogics defrag and reboot the endpoint in order for it to work… But it looks like it may have actually run.

One issue I see with any script that runs 3rd party defrag systems, is that they do not see the shadow volumes, and writes right over the restore points. This may not be the case with Auslogic Defragmentor, This may not be an issue all the time, but I have ran into it being an issue for me a time or two. So I just wanted ensure people know that this may be possible, again I am not sure if this program will over write the restore points or not, as I don’t use this one.

mediamoon · April 10, 2017, 8:58pm

Thank you for the heads up @BOSS!

After testing a wee bit more, it seems that you can’t have Auslogics defrag installed and run this script. At least, that’s the way it has / hasn’t been working for me. Once I uninstalled it on a few endpoints and tried running this same script again, it seems to work.

BOSS · April 10, 2017, 9:08pm

You’re welcome, I just don’t want anyone to have to find out the hard way.

Does the script uninstall the application after it is done??

mkannan · April 11, 2017, 11:00am

Hi @BOSS

I have defined functions to uninstall Auslogic in the script. For your information.

Thanks

mediamoon · April 11, 2017, 3:54pm

@BOSS The script does seem to uninstall the application after it’s done. The issue I was running into was that I had Auslogics defrag installed on a lot of the endpoints already. Thus, I think that was causing issues with running it via ITSM.

Also, @mkannan, do you know what the fragmentation threshold is, in order for the process to actually defragment the drives? For example, does the fragmentation level of a drive have to be 3% before it will actually be defragmented via Auslogics.

Thank you again in advance!

BOSS · April 11, 2017, 5:40pm

Thanks, that’s good to know, that’s how I prefer it work.

I see, thanks for the heads up, did you get a chance to see if it over wrote restore points??

Hi @aghiad

We checked the below script in different Platforms, which is working fine.

So please crosscheck and revert us with your feedbacks.

https://scripts.comodo.com/frontend/web/topic/defragment-all-disk-using-defraggler-defragmentation-tool

Note:

1)This script should run as System User.
2)Defragmentation process script logs should takes some more time to generate.

Thank You

@santhosh @sathish

Hi @aghiad

The script which we have already provided to you is perfectly working for us.
There seems to be an issue with the proxy option.The script usually works without the proxy option if have any proxy setting remove and try the script.

Refer the following script link
