5. Check the fragmentation of all disks.

Open a command box and type the following command to check if the drive needs to be defragment.

You can check the free disk space of the drives via the MMC SnapIn “diskmgmt.msc” ( Disk Management )

Systembetriebszeit auslesen bzw. ermitteln

Um die Systembetriebszeit eines Windows Servers zu ermitteln kann man wie folgt vorgehen:

Windows Server 2003:
systeminfo | find “System Up Time” ( englisch )
systeminfo | find “Systembetriebszeit” ( deutsch )

Windows NT / 2000 ( mit installierten PSInfo )
PSInfo Link : http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/bb897550.aspx
psinfo | find “Uptime” ( englisch und deutsch )

Windows NT / 2000 ( ohne installiertem PSInfo )
Blick auf die Netzwerkkarte/Uptime: “net statistics server” werfen.

Danke an Ulli Gruber !!!!
