Numerous benefits accrue when managing enterprise defragmentation using Active Directory and PerfectDisk:
§ Leverage Active Directory Configuration - By integrating with Active Directory, PerfectDisk ensures that installations and updates are easy and fast and that they consume minimal network resources. This also takes advantage of existing knowledge and expertise.
§ Common Management Interface - With Active Directory as the sole management console for an enterprise, there’s no need to deploy or install another management console to manage network-wide defragmentation.
§ Group Inheritance - The group inheritance properties of Active Directory Group Policy greatly reduce the amount of system administrator time consumed staying abreast of changes in the user community. For example, when a user joins a company and is assigned to a group, Active Directory instantly recognizes this user and ensures that all members of the group have PerfectDisk installed and configured according to the policy for that group. Active Directory also automatically configures PerfectDisk to match the defined group policy’s schedule. There’s no need for administrators to push PerfectDisk out to a user's machine or to attach to that machine to set schedules.
