Offline Defragment of Databases using Eseutil

Well, Defragmenting by using Eseutil, the time depends on empty database, not on the size of the database files. If you defragment 100GB database which have only 10GB of data take same time as 12GB database having 10GB of data. After defragment is completed, original database is deleted.

Defragment time is much reduced if you have much free space on the same logical drives as the size of the original database files. When you use a network drive for the temporary database, defragmentation will take longer and network problem can end the process because defragmentation can’t be resume and you have to start it from the beginning.
