Hi,

I followed your tutorial, and so far everything worked, except when I tried running sc start defragsvc and got this error:

[SC] StartService: OpenService FAILED 1060:
The speficied service does not exist as an installed service.

I tried googling on how to enable defragsvc in Server 2008 R2, but to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated =)

Start > Administrative Tools > Services

Navigate to Disk Defragmenter

Double click to open it up.

Set Startup type to Automatic

Click Start

Click on Apply, then OK, then close out.

If this service does not start or does not exist something has corrupted Windows, i.e a virus accidental deletion and you will most likely need to reinstall Windows.

I tried going to Services, but couldn't find the Service "Disk Defragmenter".

My installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 is brand new, and I'm thinking could it be I didn't install a specific Role, or Feature that would enable the Disk Defragmenter service?

I could do a manual defragmentation using Start > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter. But I couldn't find that service..

Any more ideas?

A default installation of R2 has the Disk Defragmenter service with no roles or features installed. Are you sure that is Server 2008 R2 and not Server 2008? There's a difference.
