Personally? I wouldn't consider the performance hit (as the database has to
expand internal pages after the defrag as your users access that data), the
downtime and risk associated with an off-line defrag, and the potential low
return on effort to be worth the defrag. 24MB is a small percentage of the
6.4 gb you already have. Better to leave it and let the DB allocate that
space as new mail arrives.

It depends, what is the total size of your store?, do you really need to get
the 24Mb back?

A long time ago I was told to NOT do off-line defrag's of Exchange 5.5. The
current on-line defrag says that there is only 24 meg of free space
available after it completes. Should I do an off-line defrag now?
