While you're asking the question about defrag, I'll ask it again. Why, when
using Exchange 200x would you ever want to take the time to defrag??!! Why
wouldn't you create another mailbox store, move the users to it, and then
remove the old one? What's the benefit?
That said, you can take the store down, copy the files elsewhere and perform
the defrag on another machine. You'll want to perform that full backup to
commit the logs prior and for safety. Copy the defragged files back and
remount the store.
You could, but why?

Why are you defragging - have you just done a large amount of mailbox moves
? You are surely aware of the importance of your transaction logs ? Delete
those - defragged or no defragged and you will shag your exchange server,
what you need to do is a full backup - that will get rid of the transaction
logs.

Hello all,
Just a quick question about offline defrag of and exchange 2000 database.
I've backed up the database and about to start. i dont' have circular loggin
g turned on so there are all these log files in the MDBdata folder with the
PRIV1.edb and PUB1.edb files. After running the defrag can I delete the log
files?
What I've actually done is, I've made a copy of the mdb data folder onto
another drive and I'm gong to defrag the copy of the database not the one in
the priginal mdbdata folder. Can I then delete the log files from the that
folder and replace the the defraged database into the directory of the
original one?
