dfrgifc.exe & dfrgntfs.exe starting for some reason
in [Server Configuration]
|
From: Saucer Man on 19 Jan 2010 08:11 We have a cluster consisting of two Windows Server 2003 R2 nodes. SQL 2000 is installed on the nodes and a data array is connected to the active node. We noticed that the above processes start at some time because we see them in Task Manager. We cannot figure out what is launching them. Sometimes, there are multiple dfrgntfs.exes running. These are defrag processes but we do not have any scheduled tasks that launch them. We are thinking they might be realted to the cluster service or to the SQL maintenance plans. Does anyone know what is starting these and why they are not ending properly? -- Thanks!

If you open explorer and right click the disc you get the tools option on the properties tab. Choosing defragment now offers you the option to run on a schedule or modify a schedule. John

To schedule the defrag, you would have to do it from Task Scheduler in Control Panel. We do not have any tasks scheduled.

These will appear as AT<ID> and not the application that is being run. John |
