Without any third party tools here is a simple way to create a weekly defrag task on your client workstations. This is specific for Windows XP, although you could create something similar for Vista or Windows 7.

Then we want to create a new program called “Schedule Defrag Task”
This is your command line, this one will run every Sunday at 8 AM and defrag the C drive:
schtasks.exe /create /sc weekly /d SUN /tn defrag /tr "c:\windows\system32\defrag.exe c: -f" /st 08:00:00 /sd 01/20/2007 /ru "system"
Notice we set the start path, and make sure to set it to run hidden:
For the Environment, we want admin context and we will need a drive letter for the command to execute:
It’s also my preference to hide notifications, since this is administrative task:
