Sorry, I didn't actually test that code! You could bury-buffer, but the
safer thing to do would be to wrap the whole thing in
`save-window-excursion', which will recover gracefully from errors and
whatnot.

But really, there isn't any reason to go into the *Server* buffer at
all. Just loop on `gnus-opened-servers' and for each one call
`gnus-close-server' then `gnus-open-server'. When that's done you could
see if the *Server* buffer exists, and if so go there and call
`gnus-server-list-servers' which will refresh the *Server* buffer with
current state.
