Nope, just shut it down and bring back up when done! :)

Hi Support,
I have a quick and dumb question. We have an extended power shutdown scheduled for this weekend which will last from early morning till night, and I have to bring down all the server and network equipment for extended hours. I have an Azure AD Connect server running which does the password hash sync from on-prem to Office 365. Can I simply shut down the server gracefully and bring it back up later in the night without causing any issues? Or do I have to manually stop some services and save config before shutdown/restarting the server?
Thank you so much for your help!
