Question : Having Trouble Keeping SBS C: Drive Defragmented

Small Business Server Premium 2003
18gb SCSI with 16.9 useable
20% Free Space

When I run the Analyze process every 3/4 days the results are that I need to defragment drive C:
I have been trying to devise a plan/method to help keep the C: drive from fragmenting so quickly.
I have moved/re-located all the files that feel comfortable with doing to help prevent fragmenting.
However, this seemed to provide little help.

Is there a way/method to move files or configure the SBS C: drive to help keep it from defragmenting so quickly?

Answer : Having Trouble Keeping SBS C: Drive Defragmented

Slator,

Your main problem is  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\Support\MSSBSSSR.log

This log keeps track of just about everything going on with SBS.  Copy the log to another partition, and then delete the one on the C drive so that it recreates itself.  Defrag the drive right after deleting the log and you should be in much better shape.

The recommendation above to move all data files off your C drive is also a good one... if you do, be sure to follow the paper linked above.
