Lee,
Rather than disabling your logins, have you considered using a load
evaluator? You could create one using the scheduling rule, remove the
"times of day" when the server is available, and then assign it to the
server you wish to reboot. This will prevent users from getting access
but you could still connect via the console, which you can't do if you
disable logons. Also, this will stay set regardless of whether or not
you reboot and regardless of whether you are running version 3 or 4.
(Thanks to BriForum 2006 for this tip).
Cole.

Specify what OS and Citrix release you are using. They behave
differently in this area.

Here's the situation:
I disable logins to one of my servers. I did this via the CMC
and via the command-line, "change logon /disable", just to be sure.
No users on the box.
Start, Shutdown, Restart box
In the CMC, Load Evaluators, I am seeing the users being
directed to various other boxes. All of a sudden, 14 users are sent to
the box that was offline and in the process of rebooting. The box
evidently is marked by Citrix to enabled mode prior to the reboot.
This has been a REAL pet PIEVE of mine about when rebooting
servers, that they come backup enabled and ready to accept connections,
but I had not realized the impact it was having as they went down for a
reboot.
Why is it that a server would be enabled just as it is being
rebooted? and to make matters worse, users are being directed to that
box while it is going down, where the logic?!?!? <RANT>
So, am I missing something, or has everyone been suffering along
on this issue?
