[gramatoncleric]

What parameters should I use to automatically defrag two drives through task scheduler?
The goal being to have my server's hard drives optimized once a week.

This in not possible using the built in Defrag console in 2K. 2K3 has a defrag.exe which can be run as a scheduled task.

Alternatively there are some third party apps out there

I thought there were simple parameters you could put in the command line that would execute specific defrag options without using a VB script.

No, you can't....not on Windows 2000 (On XP and server 2003 you can)
