Bring down servers over weekend

by dmelb . Updated 21 years, 4 months ago

I need some help in determining what servers I can bring down and leave turned off over a weekend (the air conditioning in my building will be shut off due to repairs). I have a small spot cooler in the server room, but would still like to shut down any servers that I can as a precaution.

Here is the setup of the servers:

One W2K domain: (All servers except # 4 run Win 2000)
Server 1: Domain Controller only , no applications. (DHCP, Primary WINS, DNS)

Server 2: Exchange server. Domain controller. All FSMO roles are all on this server

Server 3: File Print server. Domain controller. (Secondary WINS, DNS)

Server 4: Member server. NT server

Server 5: Workgroup only, not part of domain

I would like to bring down the member and workgroup servers and possibly the
File/Print server (#3). Is there any problem with bringing down the File/Print server (a domain controller) for several days without removing it from the domain?

Thanks for any help
