It doesn't even have to be after moving lots of mailboxes. Taking your server offline for this is totally unnecessary as a maintenance step.

Does anyone perform regular offline defrags of your Exchange 2000 database(s)? I've heard/read conflicting reports about this; I know people that like to do it on a quarterly basis, and I also know people that say it should only performed after a large amount of mailbox moves or deletions. I could swear that I've seen an MS Q article that said not to perform offline defrags just for the sake of doing it, to only do it after a large amount of moves or deletions, but for the life of me I can't find that article now. Does anyone know the article I'm talking about, or have links to any other resources that discuss this topic?
