Disabling a server stops all deployments, DDNS updates, and all services on that server.
Disabling a managed server (a server under Address Manager control) with the Disable function informs Address Manager to stop its attempts to contact the server and maintain services.
Disable a server from the Address Manager user interface then remove it from Address Manager control from the DNS/DHCP Server Administration Console so it can be removed from the network for repair. A server must always be disabled in the Address Manager user interface before it is repaired or replaced, even if it has failed and is no longer connected to the network.
After repairing a disabled server, use the Replace function to reconnect the server.
To disable a server:
- Select the Servers tab in the sidebar, then select Servers.
- Select the check box for one or more servers.
- Select .
- Review the servers that will be disabled.
- Under Change control comment, add comments, if required.
- Select Disable.
