We have a SharePoint 2010 Server farm with 2 WFEs and 2 APP Servers.
Can you please suggest on the order of shutdown and the order of restart of the servers?

If you have the usual setup of the 2 APP servers serving as their own local WFEs then I'd always stop the 2 WFE first and then the 2 APP servers and then start them in reverse order. |

I don't think it is that important. The only rule I follow is to start the DC first (if relevant), then the machine(s) running SQL Server, then everthing else. Shutdown is the reverse. |

Order doesn't matter. However, if your WFEs are load balanced, keep one WFE online at all times for end users. |
