Remote Disc clean up & Defrag

[newpersn]

Hi all,

Is there any tools that i can use to do the disc clean up and Defrag on remote computers?

Im on windows 7 Pro and the most of the computers are on XP Pro

Free -> Psexec
Paid -> Diskeeper Enterprise

We use:

Psexec + JkDefrag for defragging
Psexec + ccleaner portable for cleaning up junk
Psexec + a VBS script for deleting profiles

I can post examples if you want after I've had my lunch.

What about a scheduled task?

You may find re-imaging is going to be quicker and with better results too.

All these scripts are run from one of our Servers and its up to you to edit all file paths to get things working appropriately. Also the scripts are probably a bit messy and could be improved but they work for us. All batch files are run via a scheduled task and each task runs in a cycle of once every 3 weeks.

Defrag
- Save the code below as defrag.bat
- We use a program called JkDefrag
- Hopefully the below makes some sense if not you need to look into psexec basics.
- @adefrag.txt is a file which includes all computer names which you want to be defragged.

D:
cd Maintenance\Tools\PsTools\
psexec -c -f -w c:\windows\system32 -d @adefrag.txt \\sever\Maintenance\Tools\JkDefrag\jkdefragcmd.exe -d 2 -l "jkdefrag.log" c: d: e: f: g: h:

Junk
- Save the bat file code below as junk.bat
- Save the vbs scripts as junk.vbs
- Execute the vbs script via the batch file, or via GPO etc if you want to.

batch file

D:
cd RMNetwork\RMManage\Maintenance\Tools\PsTools\
psexec -c -f -w C:\Windows\System32 @ajunk.txt -u domain\user -p user_password cscript.exe //B \\server\Maintenance\Tools\Junk\Junk.vbs

vbs script

Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Dim FSO
set FSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FSO.DeleteFolder("C:\Windows\$NtUninstall*")
FSO.DeleteFolder("C:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall*")
FSO.DeleteFolder("C:\Windows\$MSI31Uninstall*")
FSO.DeleteFolder("C:\Windows\Temp\**")
FSO.DeleteFolder("C:\Windows\$hf*")
FSO.DeleteFile ("C:\Windows\Temp\*")
FSO.DeleteFile ("C:\Windows\*.log")
Set FSO = Nothing

Profile Remover
- Probably better ways to do this but it works for us

batch file

D:
cd RMNetwork\RMManage\Maintenance\Tools\PsTools\
psexec -c -f -w c:\windows\system32 @aProfileCleaner.txt -u domain\user -p user_password cscript.exe //B \\server\Maintenance\Tools\ProfileCleaner\profilecleaner.vbs

vbs script

Const LocalDocumentsFolder = "C:\Documents and Settings\"
set objFSO = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(localdocumentsfolder)
on error resume next
for each fldr in objFolder.SubFolders
if not isexception(fldr.name) then
objFSO.DeleteFolder fldr.path, True
end if
next

Function isException(byval foldername)
select case foldername
case "All Users", "Default User", "LocalService", "NetworkService", "Administrator", "RM Default User"
isException = True
case Else
isException = False
End Select
End Function

Restart
- Will remotely restart all computers in @arestart.txt

psshutdown.exe @arestart.txt -r -m "This PC will restart in 20 seconds. Please save your work."

If you need help I'll try my best to explain when time allows.

CCleaner network edition for cleanup, shame defraggler isn't networked

shame defraggler isn't networked

Windows Vista and 7 both defrag themselves automatically.

For our XP computers we use the screensaver included with MyDefrag and set it to run when the computer has been idle at the logon screen for 10 mins or so.

Tell a lie looking at the Ccleaner network trial defraggle is built into the PRO edition for network use! Not cheap tho, over $2000 for 100+ computers
