Hey ... wow talk about getting yourself into something that can take way more time than you want....

we are fully into the S1 product for email/ sharepoint / and file servers,

right now just archiving everything we can get under email to capture our current data.

A number of microsoft patches have been applied and I need to restart all the servers so the patches can finish the install (bew / few / file server/ sql/ iqr/ arr) ...

What is the best order to reboot the servers in and I know I need to stop the current jobs but do I need to stop any services before hand?

we are up and running but there are no users accessing the archive or web site yet ... so I do not need to worry about that.

thanks

David
