A domain controller that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 may stop responding for 2 to 15 minutes several times a day

    I think that the punchline is the workaround, itself. “Just disable all of the services associated with the domain controller, and then you won’t even notice it”:

    Method 1: Restart the DFS service
    Method 2: Stop Internet Connection Firewall, Internet Connection Sharing, and Routing and Remote Access
    Method 3: Disable the IP NAT driver
    Method 4: Disable NAT/Basic Firewall
    Method 5: Disable the H.323/LDAP proxy

    I noticed this part under their assumptions for the workarounds:
