How can I avoid Heartbeat failures Events on systems I need to reboot on a regular basis?

I have a Terminal Server farm that is scheduled to reboot every night, this usually results in a MOM Alert (heartbit failure). How can I stop this Event from occurring?

You need to look at "Maintenance Mode", which is a state that a server can be put into by right clicking and choosing the option, this will ignore any Alerts from the server for the period specified.

As you will want to set this up to run nightly take a look at the SDK Documentation, where there is some good information to help you right a script that you can use to put these machines into maintenance via a timed event rule.
