I think my mistake is I only set the maitenence window under the
individual server. I never thought of doing it for a bulk set of servers
as generally we just don't have that sort of maitenence window that is
the same for a bunch of servers.
Anyway, if you are having sets of servers that are "test" vs
"production", could you move them maybe into a different category, and
set the maitence windows there?

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!
