This sounds like a good idea, but doesn't account for servers that have 
manually been set to a state other than Production.  I tried this with Zenoss 
before it had the concept of the "Original" end state. The side-effect is that 
any server I have manually set to a production state other than "Production" 
will get their state reset to "Production" at the end of the maintenance 
window, which is definitely not the intended result.  I have to assume that the 
scenario hasn't changed.

If it is not possible to have overlapping maintenance windows at this point, is 
it something that is on the radar for a future release?  Like I mentioned in my 
other post to the zenoss-dev list, I'd love to move Zenoss into a production 
environment but I need to get these kinks worked out first.

I do have the end state set to Original, because I want my servers' state to 
return to what it was before the maintenance window, which may not always be 
the Production state if I have manually set a server or group of servers to 
Maintenance or Test or whatever.

Thank you both for the quick responses!
