Exchange Defrag
I'm having performance issues with Exchange. My main office is in NYC but I also have a remote office in london with at least three users who connect to the nyc server via a p2p T1 (users in nyc are not complaining of slowness although Ive seene exchange work faster). The users in London are complaining that exchange is very very slow. I analyzed the partition where the exchange Istore is seating and found it was heavily fragmented. [See attach]. My question is, do I need to do an offline exchange defrag to resolved this? Should I run windows Disk defragmenter ? or Both? Please advise.

Of sure, you should run the windows defrag.
For the exchange defrag, you can check the 1221 event:

It is hard to say what the ultimate solution to slow users in only London would be but witha single Information Store database, the defrag the author was asking about would most likely do nothing at all to resolve the issue described.

When you create a new storage group it creates a new database and moving mailboxes to it just filles the dbase. This creates a compact and clean dbase and is a preferred method then an offline defrag.
