Yes, just remount it and you can remove the mapped drive. Always make sure you
have a good backup before, and it's recommended that you perform a backup after
you defrag because it will change the signature on the DB so you will not be
able to restore data from previous logs.

Thankyou very much for your prompt replies, I really appreciate it.
After I run the eseutil command which you mentioned below, I will just have to
mount the store back and remove the mapped drive right ?

Yes only for 2003 edition. Exchange 2000 post sp3 roll up will give you
an addition 1GB. To access this, follow instructions on site.

To defrag it's straight forward, you have to dismount your store so it
will take your users offline. If you have 12 I would say it would prob complete
within an hour and a half.
Heres an example. Since you said you had no disk space to defrag
locally. Map a drive to a file server. In the example below it's assuming you
have a database on E:\exchsrvr\mail store 3\mdbdata\mail store 3.edb. It's
assuming that your mapped drive is T:
1. Log into your Ex server.
2. Open Exchange System Manager by going to Start à Programs à
Microsoft Exchange à System Manager
3. Expand Administrative Groups à à Servers à # Storage Group à
Mailbox Store #
4. Right click Mailbox Store # and click Dismount Store
5. Open command prompt and go to \program files\exchsrvr\bin
6. Type eseutil /d /database /e drive:\eseutil. For example: To
defrag Mail Store 3 type: eseutil /d "E:\EXCHSRVR\Mail Store 3\MDBDATA\mail
store 3.edb" /t e:\eseutil

Thanks for the reply.
Does the offline defrag process affect the exchange server in any way,
I mean are there any drawbacks of doing it or is it a straight forward process ?
Also is there any good article mentioning the steps ?
Also does the 75GB limit using SP2 apply to Ex2000 aswell ? I thought
its only for EX 2003
