I saw this enhancement request many years ago. I would like some method of stopping incoming work. I am in the process of upgrading my OS and would like to stop any incoming work. This will allow what is currently running to complete. Once the new OS is installed and working, I would re-install everything and allow work to start again on the new OS.

There is a solution in place - use the "no new tasks" option against the project(s) you don't want to send you work. The when you've rebuilt the system use the "allow new tasks" option and work should start to flow again.
