Hi all,
I have an ex 2000 machine, we need to free up some space since the hdd is
full, I have attached a USB drive. is there any resource or doc explains the
steps that I can take to free up some space without bring the store down? We
know that if we do an offline defrag we will get lots of space but we dont
want service distruption.

You have to bring the store offline to do an offline defrag.
And a USB drive is going to make it extremely slow.

You cant add another drive?

Can I create another store in local drive and start moving each individual
mailbox to this new store?

Add another drive. Create new store. Move mailboxes.
