Thank you both. &nbsp;Exactly what I needed!

<div>
I had another question...<br />
Since these are in a DAG group, there are essentially two database files on two separate servers. Do I need to do the defrag on both servers independently?

No, you can just reseed the changes to the other database Servers in DAG.<br />
If you have DAG, then it is advisable not to perform offline defragmentation of your exchange database as it would break the continuous availability..

Environment: Exchange 2013<br />
<br />
I am looking for the PowerShell command to determine how much whitespace is in an Exchange 2013 database. &nbsp;I'm also wondering what the steps are to get the whitespace back. &nbsp;If I recall correctly, I have to:<br />
Dismount the database<br />
Run a specific command<br />
Wait until complete<br />
Remount the database<br />
<br />
Thank you!
