This is the most effective way to reboot without affecting your user base. We run a 24x7 citrix environment and this works great. Just be sure that none of the servers you are running it on have any XML resolution responsibilities via DNS for instance ICA listed in DNS for custom ICA files would not know how to connect if your server logins were disabled.
