Problem Statements
Developers in the dev.contoso.com domain frequently conduct stress tests on applications. These tests can
last several days. Some developers report that even if they stop System Center-related services on the test
computer before they perform the tests, the services restart during the tests, and sometimes cause the tests to
fail.

the computers are authenticated by the domain.
The management team identifies the following miscellaneous requirements:
All solutions must minimize administrative effort, whenever possible.
