Defrag Manager fully integrates with Microsoft Active Directory, which simplifies managing and maintaining the defragmentation process on Windows systems throughout the enterprise. Defrag Manager remotely schedules, deploys, monitors, and controls defragmentation throughout a Windows-based network from a single console, without requiring any installations on client systems or new, continuously running services. All defragmentation tasks are controlled and configured from one system according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2.

With Defrag Manager's proprietary SmartBind(TM) feature, a Windows administrator can simplify defragmentation tasks even further by dragging or copying an Active Directory Organizational Unit In computing, an Organizational Unit (OU) provides a way of classifying objects located in directories, or names in a digital certificate hierarchy, typically used either to differentiate between objects with the same name (John Doe in OU "marketing" versus John Doe in OU "customer (OU) onto a schedule, and binding the schedule to the OU. Defrag Manager then automatically defragments every computer in the OU, and computers that are added or removed from the OU are likewise adjusted in the corresponding Defrag Manager schedule. SmartBind ensures that computers will be defragged on schedule even if they are renamed or replaced. "Microsoft Active Directory provides organization with an integrated infrastructure for centrally managing and securing their Windows networks A local area network (LAN) made up of Windows clients and servers.

Full integration with Microsoft Active Directory is built into Defrag Manager and is not dependent on external utilities. As a result, an organization's current Active Directory investment delivers faster setup and simplified ease-of-use for Defrag Manager, and ensures that systems throughout the network continue running at peak performance even as the individual servers and workstations in the network may change. SmartBind's ability to automatically adjust the defragmentation schedules to reflect OU changes also has significant licensing benefits. Defrag Manager licenses are freed up for future use whenever computers are retired, which is particularly beneficial for administrators managing enterprises with thousands of systems.
