I am trying to determine the last Offline Defrag and am not certain of the Event Id. I have also noticed on one of the servers all the logs have been cleared, so is there a way other than through the Event Viewer to determine the last OFFLINE defrag?
I actually believe it may be Event 101 Source: ESE
Is there a way to determine whether the process was "canceled"

Offline defrag doesn't log anything, because it is done offline. The most you will find is when the database was dismounted.
Furthermore it isn't possible to cancel the process and continue to use the same files. It either completes, or you restore a backup (either a copy of the original files or a true backup).

I haven't run an offline defrag for over four years. I have never run it on Exchange 2003 SP2 as there is almost no point. I cannot answer specific questions on the process simply because I don't do it.
Asking the same question three times in the same post isn't going to help get any other responses. Your original question was answered. If you have further questions you should ask them fresh - that is why it was ignored.
