Hi David,
OK - as far as controlling the update of the schema I'd do it that way: Do you really care - aka not frequently tested combination of schema extensions: 1. Put the schema master on a otherwise stale switch/hub (to provide a link but no connection to the network)
2. Backup Systemstate (to file would be fine)
3. Run the Schema Extensions
4. Verify Schema Extensions
5. If error in 4, restore systemstate
6. Plug back into the production network

Ulf ... I don't think that restoring the system state in the case of schema extension failure is a proper thing. I would suggest instead of that decommission of this DC and seizing Schema FSMO to other DC in the forest.
