Defragmentation software for server?

Well, I really hate asking for help, but I'm desperate. I am the it Director for a medium sized company with about 8 Windows servers and less than 1,000 computers running Windows 7. We are for the most part, the users of power around here, however, I did not yet find a way to deal with fragmentation - mainly on the servers.

I've been a Windows user since the early days and it is hard to believe that these problems still exist with the Windows file system. Look, I'll take a more stable file system on the flashy graphics in Windows 8 any day. Bottom line - our employees are workaholics and work remotely at any time. I can't run a manual or even schedule a task of defragmentation on these servers without significantly interfere with the performance of all applications that we run.
Take Exchange - recommend Microsoft running the defragmentation process during off-peak hours and better with Data Exchange is stopped (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328804). Really? We do not have "off-peak hours" - is that really my only option!

Take our file servers - they get pretty hammered with constant data transfers going on - with the high rate of editing files that we do here. That we recommend here? Well, by default, the defrag on Windows 2008 utility is OFF - so what say you? I have to manually run everything? No, if I want to keep my job...
If I look frustrated - it's because I am. What does the rest of the community do IT?

    You can try to disable the Sophos websheild and ClamXav if she has one. Even better would be to uninstall both and test.

  • Too recent system for server

    I installed the Server 3.2.2 and so improved the system in 10.11.2.  The server icon is covered with a forbidden sign.  When I try to open the server it tells me that the system is too recent for the server.  He tells me to upgrade the server, when I go to the app store, it shows the price but will not let me buy the new server software which I thought I had already purchased.  If I press 'buy' this is for me the too recent system for server response software the 3.2.2 server hard disk but is grey.  Any suggestions on how to address this problem.  Thank you.

    You can buy the version 5 of.app; the current version of OS X Server.   Each new version of OS X is usually a new purchase of OS X Server; of Server.app.   (Until Server.app version 5 is released - version 5 is the first that works on both versions.)    Yes, having to buy a new version of STINKS.   But then.app is much cheaper than it used to be.   Some years, I and many others still paid the US$ 1000 for unlimited-users of OS X Server version.  Or more than that, for the version with maintenance and upgrades.

  • Cisco connect software for E4200V1

    Hi all

    Original and downloaded the software CiscoConnect E4200 is after installation relative to the EA4500 version and does not work with the E4200V1 router.

    Solved!

    A bit of logic did magic,

    The software for E4200V1 updated to version EA4500 which does not work for E4200V1, I thought that maybe update version mГЄlГ on the Cisco update server, so I downloaded E4200V2 witch software is the same as EA4500.

    I installed and the program started as Linksys EA4500, he updated and changed version E4200, hip and works!

    Kind regards

  • Smartphones blackBerry Curve 8900 Device Software for Rogers - DAMAGED Setup FILE

    Hi all

    I was wondering if someone else ran into this problem (if there is no BlackBerry Rogers on this forum). I tried to download and run the software for the device for Rogers out of the BlackBerry and the installation site, I came across the following error message:

    "Error 1335. The file 'Data1.cab' required for this installation is damaged and cannot be used. This may indicate a netowkr error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package. »

    When I try clicking on ignore, I get this message:

    "Error 2350. FDI Server error. "

    I wish that I was good enough to know what that means, but I'm completely lost here. I tried to install this on two machines (XP Home SP2) and Vista, both give me the same problem.

    I feel there may be a problem with the software on the site. Could someone else confirm this or get an idea of what to do?

    Thank you

    you are absolutely right

  • How to make a MTBF of software for Windows 7?

    Hello

    Currently I asked my client to do our system MTBF. I did the physical part, but now they also want MTBF for the software, including the operating system. Is there the MTBF provided by Microsoft for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.

    I assume you mean Mean Time Before Failure. With the operating system, it is difficult to actually say. Most depends on third-party applications that are installed. You have a domain controller that spans a decade, or an application with a lot of extra software installed server that falls down every month.

    Most of the time when we do updates, but due to the age of the BONES, not stability or failures. Sometimes, it is a new feature or just lack of support to the old operating system. But, rarely, or never, is it due to a power outage.
