Update: Our SQL DBA wrote a stored procedure that flips all the n_mute attributes on and off and then wrote a little web interface for it so the admins can set the schedule. Currently it's all or nothing but he's working on a grouping function for us. Once nice side affect of this method is that everything is still monitored during the outage window it just doesn't email and when the email function is re-enabled any alert that is outstanding will alert immediately. (Disk space, component down, etc.)
