PerfectDisk supports six different types of scheduling options (depending on your version of PerfectDisk), enabling you to create, enable, disable, delete, and start schedules locally and remotely (using PerfectDisk Enterprise Console). Furthermore, you can drive your PerfectDisk schedules with Group Policy settings for tight integration with Active Directory networks or Exchange Server datastore needs and VMWare virtual machines (only available in PerfectDisk for Exchange and PerfectDisk for VMWare, respectively).
PerfectDisk supports six types of schedules:
Local schedule – The PerfectDisk client software uses local schedule to defragment drives or to zero fill free space drives on your local computer.
Network schedule – This option is identical to the local schedule, but instead of placing the schedule on a single computer, the schedule is copied to the registries of many computers. You can manage this option through PerfectDisk Enterprise Console. Refer to PerfectDisk Enterprise Console Help for more information.
Group Policy schedule – You can create a schedule for Active Directory using the PerfectDisk Administrative Template. PerfectDisk supports up to five different Group Policy schedules on any given computer. These schedules may only be created, deleted and changed from within Active Directory.
Exchange Data Store Schedule – This option is available only in versions of PerfectDisk that support Exchange. It allows you to select one or several Exchange data stores and perform offline compaction to recover disk space on your Exchange server. Refer to Creating a Schedule for Exchange Data Store for more information.
Virtual Computer Schedules One Time – This option is available only in PerfectDisk for VMWare. It allows you to select one or several VMWare guests and perform optimization. Refer to Creating Virtual Guest Optimization Schedule for more information.
