No it will not work. There is no domain controller there to let them
log in. Well maybe it will. Every time my domain computer is plugged
in to the network and the dc is missing I cannot log in. If my
computer is not plugged in to the network I can log in using cached
credentials. But then I am not plugged in to the network so there is
nothing for me to do on the computer anyway. Even after I get plugged
back in to the network my files on the server are missing, my email on
the server is missing. I guess I could play Tetris or Rummy but I do
not play computer games.

I've got the server down over-night so I can get some work done, but
it looks like I won't be done by the time the staff gets to work in a
few hours. I'd like to provide them with internet access so I'd like
to do the following -- BUT would really like a sanity-check before I
proceed:
(1) Unplug server from Router so it's in stand-alone mode.
(2) Configure router as a DHCP server using 192.168.x.x private
network.
(3) Plug into ISP-router via WAN port on my router.
(4) Plug into my L3/L4 switch with a LAN port on my router.
(5) Put a note on everyone's keyboard that LAN access is down, but
internet access is available -- IF(!) they accept the risk of having
no firewall. If not, unplug the LAN cable from their PC. (I think the
L3/L4 switch, the very basic firewall in my router, Windows Defender
and Symantec AV on each PC should hold up for a few hours.)
Will this work? Is it an unacceptable risk on my part?
