Hi,
Are you running over vmware? Do you have sufficient memory? Those would stop services upon startup.
Anyways, it should not happen with the lab servers and if it did, they will not fail you for hardware issues or things that doesn't function right.
You should leave your seat with the phones registered because usually the servers will not reboot before you get graded, and if you reboot at the end of the day, make sure all the services and apps are running again.
HTH,

Importance: Low
I need some input from you guys here; Several times in my home Voice Lab, if I could not finish a task but was able to bring up the phones, did alot of configurations like DN, route-plans, gateways, voicemail integration, CME integration, etc but maybe only have a few tasks left like IPMA, EM, CRS, etc, I normally shutdown my servers and Routers with the hope to continue from where I left off the next day.
But sometimes when I fire up my equipments the next day, I expect the Phones to re-register to the CallManager and should be working and that I should start from where I left off the previous day, but this does not happen all the time, and on checking my services, I will find out that some services could not start, starting them will make everythings start working again.
My question is; since Windows plateform is full of things bugs and hiccups like these, if the proctor go to grade your pod will they just stop looking further if the phones did not registered, or they go the extral mile to see if one service hanged during startup? If they found out that e.g. though Extension Mobility service was activated, but it did not start after the last server boot, will they be so kind to re-start it?
Note: The services has been activated and are good to go, they were working before, in windows services page, their startup type is 'Automatic' but they just did not start.
