There is a slightly more proactive approach - monitor the amount of whitespace in the database and defrag once this reaches n% of the database size.
 
e.g. if whitespace represents 50% of the database then offline defrag, when next convenient.
 
Whitespace can be monitored as follows:

Question:

 

I have 8 AD controllers in several locations. All have different database sizes ranging from 45 MB to 80 MB.

Is there a rule of when I should or when I need to do an offline defrag of the Database?

 

I just had to defrag my mail store and I don’t want to not be proactive with my Active Directory so I’m looking for advice on when, why and how often I should do a defrag.

 

Thanks

Mike
