You really only need to stop the System Attendant. The problem here is that the NetLogon service stops before the System Attendant service does. The System Attendant (specifically the DSAccess component I believe) has a large timeout value where it will continue to try to contact AD, after which it times out and will shut down. If you stop just the System Attendant, it will stop any dependant services (Information Store and MTA Stacks).

Hi

A /y is required at the end of each net stop command so that you don't have to sit pressing keys, as it is expecting you to be interactive, as in "do you really want to do this".

You can also do the reverse by using net start. Useful for bouncing the services.
