Rebooting VMware View servers

Greetings,
I need to reboot the connection server as well as the security server in our VMware View environment. There are active sessions. As I understand it, users will be disconnected but their VMs will continue to run on the host. Please confirm that this is the case.

Is there a specific order in which I should reboot the servers? Information regarding any other caveats in regard to rebooting the view servers welcomed.

Thanks a lot

Correct, users will be disconnected from the sessions (VMs), but VMs will still be running.

see this VMware KB here to confirm

the order doesn't matter
just keep in mind after the connection server restarts, it will be several minutes before horizon is available; services just take a while to startup
