The defragger for Windows Home Server users has been updated to Build 178 to include various bug fixes and minor enhancements.

You can “Check For Updates” from within the product or wait for Autoupdate.

 Client enhancements and fixes:

• We corrected a bug when creating Auto Pilot schedules for Exchange Data stores on Exchange 2010. If individual stores were selected instead of all stores, you would get an error.
• A new feature was added to allow controlling the behavior (display) of the registration dialog. This can now be blocked using group policy, the config.ini file or the Enterprise Console
• A new feature was added to control the VSS settings from Group Policy or the config.ini file.
• A new feature was added to control the custom SMARTPlacement settings from Group Policy.
• We modified the behavior of the Screen Saver Auto-Pilot schedule to allow the monitor to power off. Prior to this version, Screen Saver schedules would not run if the monitor powered off as not screen saver was present. This behavior was modified to recognize the corporate need to have monitor power down to save energy.
• The defragmentation logic was modified to minimize skipping files during a defragmentation pass. Prior to this version a file could be skipping after failing to move when requested. This logic was changed to only skip the file under more restrictive terms.
• We corrected a flaw in the SmartDefrag logic where the proper defragmentation algorithm was not always being used.
• We added support for Japanese translations.

• When deploying patch files from the Enterprise console, the wizard would sometimes crash due to an un-initialized variable. This has been fixed.
• We corrected a bug when downloading the latest PerfectDisk clients for deployment. The console did not use the proxy settings. This has been fixed.
• New feature was added to allow controlling the behavior (display) of the registration dialog. This can now be blocked using group policy, the config.ini file or the Enterprise Console.
• We corrected a bug when downloading PerfectDisk client packages from the deployment wizard. Previous versions did not support saving the package to a network share. This has been fixed.
• A change was made to the deployment wizard to use the computer name if a domain is not specified when providing credentials.
• Some user interface layout changes were made to avoid confusion.
• We fixed a bug when specified specific sync periods which spanned midnight.
• We added support for Japanese translations.
