I have been asked to look into disabling the fragmentation analysis that Windows performs automatically for one of our servers. I have verified that the Disk Defrag tool shows automatic defragmentation is disabled, that the Windows "ScheduledDefrag" job in Task Scheduler is disabled, and that indeed defragmentation is not being performed automatically, but event logs show that the disk is still being analyzed for fragmentation every morning around 7am.
Is there a way to disable the fragmentation analysis as well as the defragmentation process itself?
Thanks in advance!
