Monthly defrag and reboot - Digerati - 2003-12-17
I am thinking about scheduling a batch script I wrote to defrag these win2k machines and then reboot them on the first day of each month at the stroke of midnight.
Anyone have any opinions on this?
Here is the batch file to reboot everyone if they are connected to the network and are up and running.
@ECHO OFF

Thats all well and good, but it may be totally not needed.
My sheduled script to defrag is=defrag.vbs
set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "dfrg.msc"
WScript.Sleep 1000
While WshShell.AppActivate("Disk Defragmenter") = FALSE
WScript.Sleep 1000
Wend
WshShell.AppActivate "Disk Defragmenter"
WScript.Sleep 200
WshShell.SendKeys "%A"
WScript.Sleep 200
WshShell.SendKeys "D"
While WshShell.AppActivate("Defragmentation Complete") = FALSE
WScript.Sleep 5000
Wend
WshShell.AppActivate "Defragmentation Complete"
WScript.Sleep 200
WshShell.Sendkeys "{TAB}"
Wscript.Sleep 500
WshShell.Sendkeys "{ENTER}"
Wscript.Sleep 500
WshShell.Sendkeys "%{F4}"
I want it to run and then reboot the machine when done.
Here is a script to reboot the machine=reboot.vbs
strComputer = "ComputerNAme"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
ObjOperatingSystem.Reboot()
Next
If I can combine these into one script it would reboot after the defrag and I would have it only schedule one thing.
How do I combine these scripts?
Can it simply be added at the bottom?
My goal is to defrag the pc's at midnight on the first of the month and then reboot when finished.

Yes the reboot is not totally nessecary (or however you spell it) I just wanted the machine to reboot after the defrag process. Sometimes I have seen the wscript stay in the task manger after defrag and I have also seen it run the cpu up real high and stick. I have no idea why but I wanted a reboot after defrag just in case.
This is a monthly thing too. Lots of us never reboot so a monthly defrag and reboot seems not too much to ask.
