Running CHKDSK On Remote Machine...

    Hey guys,

    I've to run CHKDSK on an NTFS volume on Win2K Server box this afternoon.

    Unfortunately, I've to run it remotely (i.e. RDP into the server, set chkdsk to run on next startup, reboot the server and hope!). My concern is that when it runs upon the reboot, it's going to be prompting for input, e.g.

    Convert lost files to chains? (y/n)

    And obviously, I won't be physically at the box to answer it. We don't have any KVMs in place, so I don't have that option.

    Can anyone help out with feeding the correct parameters to chkdsk before I "run on next reboot" please? Also, I'd like to log the output, but I'm presuming I can just pipe it, as it were, using >> chkdsk_150907.log

    Thanks!

    For those curious, I went ahead and ran:
    chkdsk c: /f /r /i

    Doesn't explicitly solve my "no input" problem, but the logs are written as "Winlogon" entries in the Event Viewer. Ran that command on my own desktop here as a test, and it appears to be doing it's thing by itself.

    Fingers crossed! ;)
