Moving Citrix Farm from 1 auth Domain to Another.

[brightds]

Hi -
Im in the planning phase of migrating a citrix server farm from Auth Domain 1 to Auth Domain 2. The users currently exist in Auth Domain 1 but will soon be migrated to Auth Domain 2. My question is what is required to

A. Move the citrix farm to Auth Dom 2 as well (aside from Re-ACL'ing the file permissions)

B. Decomission Auth Domain 1 so that permissions for the Citrix farm allow the newly migratd users (with sID History) access to their apps.

Thanks

I have a similar issue. I had my PDC crash, so the rebuild is essentially a new domain. I can't get into my management console, even though it's the same user, on the same domain name, apparently with a different GUID. It's a remote server, so rebuilding is not an option. You can't tell me someone hasn't discovered a hack for database migration. If they haven't I freakin' will! --)

I'm quite impressed myself... Thought this was a citrix forum.

From some further investigation it seems that it requires only a dual/re-acl for the box as well as an update to the web site to point to the other auth domain. My understanding is that citrix apps do not support sID history so this is the only option. Microsoft has several apps (free) that will do dual, re and de ACLing if you need them.
