The first concern that comes to mind doesn't involve AD, but rather that 
sometimes hard drives that have been spinning continuously don't want to spin 
back up after they've cooled down.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Week long shutdown.

We are shutting our data center down for 7 days to repair the HAVAC/Electrical 
systems.  Long story but it needs to be done this way. Since we are a school 
district and it is summer we are just going to pull the plug on the network and 
let that summer staff fend for themselves. I have a secondary MX up with a hold 
and forward.

There are 4 offsite DC's that could be left running, but they will not be able 
to talk to each other, their connectivity is via the data center.  I am 
thinking shut them down too.

Any issues or concerns that come to mind for a week long downtime for AD?
