Restartable Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS)

One of the key new features for Windows 2008 server is Administrator can stop and restart Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) by using Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins or the command line.

Restartable ADDS reduces the time that is required to perform certain operations such as applying updates to the server.

Administrators can also stop ADDS to perform tasks such as offline defragmentation of the Active Directory database, without restart the domain controller. Other services that are running on the server and that do not depend on the ADDS to function, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), remain available to satisfy client requests while ADDS is stopped.
