Recently we defragmented a Microsoft Windows 2003 file server several times for a Law Office with offices in Mission Valley, Pacific Beach & La Jolla and this greatly improved the file access performance. The trick we applied was to first backup their document directory with around 25,000 files, mainly Word & Excel documents to different backup drives. Then we temporarily deleted the document directory from the server and ran the Windows Defragmenter several times. By having an empty document directory while defragmenting gave us a lot of extra free disk space making the defragmentation very effective. After the Defragmentation we copied the document directory back to its original location and ran some tests and the file access was greatly improved.
