Farm Migration (NT Domain to ADS) ??

[HSESupport]

One for the wiser one's than I
We will be migrating to ADS from NT4 domain within next couple of month's (yes, I know!).
My nervous question is this:
Has anyone completed a migration from NT4 to ADS, with the existing Citrix Farm being also migrated to ADS? Server IP's will remain same as-is.
Any hickups/nightmares/foibles?

Rgds,
Peter (nervously).

I would read through this first.

I don't like migrates or upgrades. I like new builds. You just never know what you will take with you.

Lets start with OS of Citrix farm currently ?

I'm of the same mind-frame Ascotta, but can't face the literal nightmare of liasing with the vendors once again (though not ruling a clean Citrix build parallel with Migration)
Anyway, some details that I should have put in first post:

Server OS: Windows Server 2000
Citrix version: Citrix MetaFrameXPs SP4 FR3

What I'm hoping is to put off my planned upgrade of Citrix to PS4 until post domain migration, then also have the Server OS @ Win2K3.

Hmmmmmmm I have just done acouple of things, not quite in your box but close.

I have upgraded an NT4 to PS 4.0 quite painless.

Migrated using some new kit to Win2K3 AD from Win2k NT4 if that makes sense.

If I was you I might be tempted to leave Citrix @ W2K and migrate to PS4 after the AD. To be honest the AD thing is quite easy from a Citrix perspective.

Cool bananas Ascotta, pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Nice to get it back from those in the know though
