Scripting Exchange 2000 Defragmentation

Test Server:
Windows 2000 Server (Windows SP3)
Exchange 2000 Server (Exchange SP3)
GroupShield 5.2 for Exchange 2000

I am trying to write a batch script that will stop the GroupShield and
Exchange services then allow me to do a eseutil /d and then
restart the services successfully.

I have a basic script setup, but cannot consistently get the GroupShield
service to stop from the batch file. It does a time-out and doesn’t
stop the service successfully (and then everythingelse fails as well).

Anyone been able to write a good script to do automated maintenance like
this for Exchange 2000 Server (with GroupShield anti-virus)?

Thanks.
