MOM 2005: Disk defrag analysis

Use this script to analyse the defragmentation levels of disk drives on the servers.

' An event is generated if the disk requires fragmentation.

I would not suggest running this on a daily basis, but rather on a weekly or even monthly basis in off-peak periods, as it can cause slight degradation in service.

The script runs defrag analysis and will generate an Error event should the drive require defragmentation.

To implement this script, create a timed event rule to run the script, and then the corresponding event response rules.

To change the event id generated, these lines should be modified:

CreateEvent 1302, 4, strMessage
CreateEvent 1301, 2, strMessage

You can also modify the message generated as it suits your environment.
