Answer 2

Shouldn't be an issue but I'm not sure what you might be expecting. Maybe you can just reboot it? Alternate domain controllers should handle things during a reboot.

Answer 3

This is part of a requirement that potentially needs a reboot of all the domain controllers and since we have several i'm trying to avoid this scenario, i think restarting the service will address the requirement but don't know the impact of restarting the WinRM service.
