Hello all...
System: Windows2000, all the latest sp's, some running Citrix, some =
not.
Problem: For a few weeks now I have been tracking down why =
Autodefrag.exe (from www.morphasys.com) is not running on ANY of my =
machines from the Task Scheduler, but would run fine from the command =
prompt. =20
I found other people having the same problem at SourceForge.net, but I =
am a little wary of doing it. The suggestion said:
"I too had a problem running autodefrag on certain=20
machines. It appeared to just hang when run under the=20
SYSTEM account. I tracked the problem down to=20
the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE" registry
key. This machine in particular had an extra registry=20
value called "DefaultAccessPermission" which prevented
the
SYSTEM account from firing off the defrag engine=20
(DFRGNTFS.EXE). If you run the utility DCOMCNFG.EXE, you=20
can either change the default permissions to include the=20
SYSTEM account, or specify permissions for just the defrag=20
engine.
Peter."
My question to you all: Has anyone had this problem? Applied this fix? =
Found another fix that worked better? Would running this utility have =
any repercussions? I did a search & have found a few problems that can =
be caused by incorrect permissions using the dcomcnfg.exe, and I feel =
that I don't know what I'm doing on that.
Thank you very much.
