For starting and stopping all neccessarry parts this is OK. But if I
have enabled some of these services directly in systemd (lets say
memcached or the ldap server) does that make problems during startup or
shutdown.

May be it is just a coincidence, but I had several warnings (up to
thousands) in the past from the LDAP Server at a simple restart of the
server:

DSRetroclPlugin - delete_changerecord: could not delete change record
553423 (rc: 32): 1 Time(s)

An I have not found any reason for this. Therefore the question: can
this be due to a false shutdown or startup sequence by systemd?

Last time I run "ipactl stop" before restarting the server and had no
such warnings. As I said may be its just a coincidence.

I run ipa on a up to date fedora 23 server.
