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.

You're probably right.  Although something else might work .... I've
been tapping on my old laptop all night connected directly to the
router with a manually cofigured NIC on the same subnet and have been
on-line just fine.  Mayhaps I can do the same for the staff if I patch
the patch-panel into the router.
