I'm looking at making some changes to this:

• Emptying temp files for all user profiles
  
• Defragging all local fixed disks
  
• Chkdsk on all local fixed disks

I also want to try to move it all to VBscript (no more REG, BAT, CMD files).

I'll post again when I have these three features added.

I've updated the packages & I was able to accomplish all of these tasks. I finally sat down and looked at putting it into VB and it only took me about a week to get it "working." I still have some error handling to do, but it's working.

I switched the defrag to DirMS due to MS's inability to defrag large files.

This is working on 2000 Pro & Server and 2003, now. I updated it a few months back.

Just stumbled across this topic myself but admittedly I have not yet used this.

Do you perform chkdsk before the defrags?

Yep,
Deletes temp files
Disables pagefile
Reboot
Chkdsk
Defrag
Enable pagefile
Reboot
Cleanup when you login - this step only takes a couple of seconds

Very nice, thank you for showing the order these occur in. Going to give this a shot on my server pc.
