We are setting up some servers for a remote office. The servers include another Win 2003 domain controller (this will be the 4th DC for that domain) and 2003 exchange box (3rd Exchange box) and a couple others (file server, phone server, etc). This office should be ready to accept the hardware and put it online within 20 days, but there are things out of our control that may mean that we can't have the equipment installed and running there for 60 days or more. The servers have to be set up and configured now and we don't have the ability to keep them online here for any extended period of time. Are there any issues with keeping a DC off-line for 20 days? 40 days? 60 days? How about an exchange server? If it's going to be that long, is this something where I should just connect the servers to the network every X number of days of being off-line to avoid any problems?
