Temporarily suspend Active Directory

[marcasii]

Hi, Is there a simple way of temporarily turning Active Directory off so I can check some error checking code in a C# application that deals with the event that Active Directory cannot be contacted?

is the C# application running on the server?

How do you count on checking?? via IP?

if you need the server online and connected to network while not having active directory running, i think the best bet would be to reboot the server in A.D. restore mode...

Hi, Yes the C# (Web Application) is running on the server and the server can't really be rebooted as others rely on it for connectivity. I am hoping there is an associated service I can stop and start again. The error check is done by attempting a connection via LDAP through DirectoryServices.
