Ok to degragment my SQL 2000 server?

Any concerns about doing this? Never been done in year and half. Thanks.make your question more clear ?
You have not Defragged Indexes in 1.5 years ?
or you have not defragged the physical Drive in 1.5 years?
Either way, I'd say..."OUCH"
you need to schedule a time to do this, yes.
Depending on the nature of the problem, this may require some down time.

Indexes and what not get degragged each night with backup. Thanks.

safety), stop SQL Server and do the defrag.
