#3 Autodefrag does not exit once run

[Anonymous]

I have copied autodefrag.exe into the system32
directory, & used the 'AT' command to schedule
autodefrag.exe.
The first time autodefrag.exe runs, it stays in memory
& does not terminate.
So when autodefrag runs again, I get the following
message 'This version of Disk Defragmenter does not
support running more than one instance'.
When I try to 'end task' autodefrag, I get an access
denied error & it will not terminate.

I have the same issue in my enviroment running
AUTODEFRAG as a AT command on Windows 2000
Terminal and File Servers SP2

I also have been trying AutoDefrag, run from W2k's Task
Scheduler, and have found that it leaves mmc.exe running,
which blocks new invocations of the defrag utility (until
mmc.exe
has been killed from the Task Manager). And I'm not even
convinced that any defragmentation takes place under the first
invocation. Once I've killed mmc and started a manual session
with the defrag utility, an Analysis shows a not inconsiderable
amount of fragmentation remaining, which clears when I run it.

If you are attempting to run this as a "scheduled task", the
machine must be logged on as the user that you are running
the "scheduled task" as. The reason for this is that the
application needs access to a "window" in order to navigate.

Try running manually (from a CMD prompt) to verify this.

I was able to resolve it in my environment by using
the "/interactive" switch in the AT command that runs
autodefrag, has worked like a charm since.

I attempted the same task with a vb script and reduced its
function to only open defrag and close it. The same failure to
release the mmc.exe resource is encountered.
