I just used move mailbox option in exchange task wizard. By doing so my database size reduced to 9Gb from 28 GB
Offline defrag terminated automaticaly with this error "1108_errInTransaction_operation_not_allowed_within_a_transaction" not sure why. I tried search for solution but could not find relavent info. I was running out of time so i choose to move the mailbox insted.
Interesting idea. Did you use exmerge or just migrate them with the
GUI?
If you are doing offline defrag to recover the white space, then i suggest moving the mailboxes to a new store and delete and re-create the old one. This is lot simpler than offline defrag. This will have down time of average 10 Min per mailbox.
recently I tried to do off line defrag and it terminated after reaching 90%, i wasted nearly 2 hours, then i had to move the mailboxes to a new store, luckily i had a free store.

Yes, you can dismount individual mailbox stores without effecting the others.

Hello,
Running exchange 2003 and windows 2003. I need to perform off-line defrags of 4 separate storage groups. If you dismount one, do you have to dismount all of them? Meaning can I be running the defrag on one storage group and
give folks access to the store group that is not having the ESEutil run against it?
