&lt;p&gt;As the Admin, if I tell you the server will not be available at a certain time, then it won't be available and if you haven't finished your work, too bad. &amp;nbsp;I can't wait around for you to decide you're done, while everyone else (including me) waits for you. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The least amount of downtime for all users results when the server goes down exactly at a plannned time and comes back up as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1741203" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>
