Just a quick blog post seems relevent after some problems were encountered with our SEPM server. After finding preformance lacking a bit on our SEPM server, I fired up the disk defragmenter. Despite having run it not that long ago, the drive was heavily fragmented. Our server has 60 GB of space, was about 2/5ths full, and was well over 40% fragmented.

As such, the file was left in quarantine and left on the file system. Each time a scan ran, this happened again and the hard drive slowly filled up.
