Defragging

[AudioFreak]

The It guy here tells me this is not a problem.

From the Directory service Event Viewer log from the box hosting our FM Files.

NTDS (436) NTDSA: Online defragmentation has completed a full pass on database 'C:WINDOWSNTDSntds.dit'.

Server Specs: Windows Server 2003, 2gigs Ram, and Dual 2.8ghz Xeons, 80gig drive.

I'm asking this cuz ever since we started hosting thse files on this box I'm seeing random corruption popping up which is really starting to worry me. I'm in the process of rewriting our inventory file do to corruption.

Supposedly this box wasn't doing anything else other than FM Server but looking through the application Event Viewer it is also being used as a print server. Is this a problem?

Need some pro advice here. Thanks in advance guys.

Don't defrag the disk while FIleMaker Server is running. Don't use the FMS as a print server.

Thanks for the reply Steven. I am aware that the server basically doing anything other than sitting there hosting the files is bad practice.

For some reason The IT guy here thinks it won't hurt anything. We hosted these same files for over 4 years with no problems. With corruption popping up in 3 files it's starting to worry me.

By chance would you have a good link that I could provide the IT guy here so he can read and understand what I am saying. I have had him read the manual and other docs I could find but am hoping you have something more HERE IT IS DONT DO IT kinda deal.

See the Server Admin Guide that comes with the product as well as the Server Tech Brief found on the FMI website.
