If you recover enough space within the database (perhaps 6GB+), an offline defrag would not be a bad idea. 
 
Otherwise, yor plan is certainly sound.  Do you have a formal mailbox quota policy in place?

Subject: Information Store Limit

I am running Windows NT 4.0 SP 6a and Exchange 5.5 SP 4 (not Enterprise) I have run up against the 16GB information store limit.  I have managed to the IS started again and would like to take steps to reduce the IS size.  My plan is to:

 

  1. Move data to PST files
  2. delete unused mailboxes
  3. reduce deleted item retention

 

Is this a good plan? Should I also do an off line defrag? Any thing else?

 

Thanks
