Active Directory Interview Question:

What is Offline Defragmentation in Active Directory?

Submitted by: Administrator

Offline Defragmentation is done by taking the server offline and use Ntdsutil.exe to defragment the database. This approach requires that the ADS database be started in repair mode. The advantage to this method is that the database is resized, unused space is removed, and the size is reflected by the Ntds.dit file.
