I think they might have a feature request for something similar already, but I think being able to have a repeat schedule for maintenance mode would be perfect for this! That way you don't have to constantly schedule maintenance every single week. @weston.hood might know a way to schedule this in SQL
there are several feature requests on this (to add to the UI). You can already do this with the Unmanage Utility. However, there are limitations with that tool. Like if you're using Dynamic Query group its not going to work.
It's also possible to build a schedule within your alert definition - whether this is possible depends on your maintenance intervals. Within time of day you can choose to Enable or Disable the alert.
Another option that many users go for is running SDK tasks for reoccurring maintenance jobs that unmanage your nodes. This is likely going to be the most preferred way to perform reoccurring maintenance. Custom Properties are likely going to be a better and easier way to manage your group of nodes rather than conventional groups. Custom Properties can basically achieve everything groups can achieve, and more. Only advantage of groups is status rollup.
I created this post a minute ago, but this is something that did using a custom SWQL alert to trigger alerts on a specific schedule for a recurring maintenance mode.thwack.solarwinds.com/.../trigger-an-alert-on-a-specific-schedule---custom-swql-alert
