Exchange offline defrag

[IS300]

We need to run an offline defrag of our Exchange server. It has gotten to it's limit, causing the store to dismount a few times. I've done online defrags, but we need to do an offline one to get rid of all the empty blocks and reduce the database size.

I know how to run the utility, having to take exchange offline. I planned on doing this at midnight on a Saturday evening, minimizing down time. However, will the tool know to mount the store after it is done or do I have to get up at 5 am in the morning on Sunday to mount it manually?

Is there a script out that that can do it?

Thanks,

Not sure if there is a script.

I always had to babysit it. Start it, watch, wait. Remount and go.
