I noticed one just the other day that goes back as far as Server 2012 at least, and possibly back to 2008 Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was working with a virtual 2012 server when I idly decided to see if it was defragging its drives as it should. I soon found out that defragmentation had never been run on any of its drives. Why is this, I wondered? This server has been running for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ventured forth and checked the settings. I discovered that while it was in theory set to defrag all drives on a weekly basis, when I went to select the drives to defrag, none showed up in the resulting window. See graphic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/img\/defragbug2.jpg\" alt=\"defrag bug evidence\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I thought I would check one of my 2019 servers. Surely this has been noticed and fixed by now, I thought. Think again! I found exactly the same bug. I don&#8217;t have Server 2008 or 2016 running at the moment, but I bet I&#8217;d find the same thing. For all the money they make, you&#8217;d think they could detail one coder to fix this bug. But, apparently not.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, the defragger does see all the drives for the purpose of running it manually. I&#8217;ll give them that. But, it works properly in Windows 10 so I&#8217;m just mystified that it doesn&#8217;t work right in Server.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><p align=\"center\"><a href=\"..\/\">Lars&#8217; Pages<\/a><br><a href=\"..\/..\/\">Home<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft seems to hate to fix their bugs.
