Scheduled task to defrag servers

[Guest paulreims@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am using this small script to automatically created scheduled tasks

via Group Policy on each one of our servers:

 

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Dim fso, d, dc, i, Command

i=0

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set dc = fso.Drives

For Each d in dc

i=i+1

If d.DriveType = 2 Then

Return = WshShell.Run("echo ""N""|schtasks.exe /create /SC WEEKLY /D

MON /TN Defrag" &i& " /TR ""defrag.exe "&d &" -f"" /ST 15:50:00 /SD

04/08/2008 /RU SYSTEM", 1, TRUE)

End If

Next

Set WshShell = Nothing

 

The echo ""N"" is necessary because on the second restart, Windows

asks to overwrite the scheduled task. If I omit this, the GPO works

fine the first time, but the after the second reboot, it prompts to

overwrite the task, so I manually have to confirm.....

 

 

When I run the script now with the echo ""N""|, I get an error "The

system cannot find the file specified".

 

My question is now, what's wrong with the "Wshshell.run"-command or is

there any possibility like a "/N" to confirm that I do not want to

overwrite the scheduled task....

 

Best regards
