Citrix schedule reboot

Hi I have a tough on here I think??

I have 32 citrix 4.5 servers that have one desktop published to users globally from Sydney to California and they all share the same 32 citrix servers.

The problem is there is no time day or night when the servers can be revolted without kicking users off and yes if you send a message prior to the reboot they ignore it. So i'm running out of ideas.

Any smart ideas please??

Another option is to minimize the number of connections on the servers without having to make them unavaible for an entire day.  You can add a task on each server to disable logons at a given time.  If you reboot five servers on a Monday, add a scheduled task to disable logons at 2pm, or whatever time you work out.

AT \\<servername> 14:00 /every:M "c:\<Path>\disablelogon.cmd"

Add change logon /disable to disablelogon.cmd
With the load evaluators you can schedule the outages within 30 minute increments.
