Hi Ripon,
Your post was very useful and provided an easy way to "see" disk space gain
you'd get with off line defrag. I'll add this to our regular server
review/audit.
As new admins, we got jumpy on the point of off line defrag as our first
attempts at it failed after 12+ hours on one of our primary mailbox stores.
After reducing mailbox sizes, we were able to defrag this mbs.
Thanks, Robert

Hi
I have been observing this mail thread from last three days. I would like to
clear few points on Offline defrag.
On daily basis exchange perform online defrag which manage the database to some
extent but cannot release free whilte space. In order to release that white
space you need to perform offline defragment. Now the question arises is when
to do it. Well the best way to judge is to check for event id 1221 in the
Exchange server application log which will give clear picture of white space in
both private and public database. Based on that value you can do a planning of
offline defragment.
Hope this would clarify.
Regards
Ripon

Necessary? Absolutely not.

What if one archives a couple of gig of email. Is it necessary to do an
off-line defrag?
Thanks!

That only applies to Standard Edition.
An Exchange administrator should be aware of that limit, and should plan for it.
If your organization needs more than 16 GB of mailbox storage - then you should
buy it. Not defrag the database.

If you DON'T do an offline defrag (assuming you are using Exchange Standard,
not Enterprise) Exchange will crash when it gets beyond 16GB limit. I know
because mine crashed. We purchased PerfectDisk 7 for Exchange, which enables
scheduling of offline defrags.
