It is possible to disable checks or notifications for all services for a 
particular host in one step.  See the Host Commands on the Nagios display for 
the host.

If the services are already in error, you will have to submit a passive check 
result for each service individually to put them back in the OK status with 
the Service Command on the Nagios display for the services.  If you have a lot 
of them, or you do this often ;-) ... you could write a script to submit the 
commands to the external command file:
