ScriPt MaSters Needed! - Need to Automate UnLock Workstation

[MrNutz]

I am trying to automate Win2k defrag. I found a great .vbs script to automate it, the problem is that the workstation will be locked when the script is set to run so none of the keystrokes are sent.

I am not a programming expert by far... I just need to automatically unlock the PC so that the defrag script can run properly.

None of the solutions for unlocking the workstation look like they are going to work, thus the script won't work for you.

You will need to buy a retail defragger.

I also found this but haven't tried it:

"There is a free defrag utility made by SysInternals.com called Contig. It will run on NT4.0 and newer but not any of the Win9X platforms. With it you can be more grangular in the files you want defragged instead of just specifying a drive letter.

contig -a -s *.*
Contig will analyse all files and subfolders on the current harddrive and display a fragmentation summary.

contig -s *.*
Contig will defragment all files and subfolders on the current harddrive.

Well if I can't do it by scripting, then I will try to use this program. 😕

using a defrag program that runs as a service seems like a viable option. With domain admin rights you could simply start the service remotely...

All I need to do is to start defrag to run during the night... I found the script above, but it wouldn't work b/c the workstation has to be locked during that time.
