segment a citrix farm?
- Thread starter 350ztn
- Start date
Do you want the users to be able to use the same domain-accounts as they are using at their desktops? In that case I guess both domains at least has to exist in the same AD-forrest.
I am a bit uncertain about what you mean with the segmentation question. In the citrix world it is common to segments farms by geography (zones). If you have citrix-server A, B, C, D, E and F ... and want company X to only use A, B, C, while company Y only should use D, E and F ... then you should solve this by controlling the logon right for each server by user groups. Further ... if you publish one application ... you can specify that this should be available to usergroup X, and that the application itself only should be published to server D, E and F.
If you want a totally separated environment, with two AD forrests and seamless logon with the users accounts ... then you have to build yourself two farms.
Let me know if we are on the right track here ... or if your question was meant in another way.

Yes that is what I was meaning and actually had found out some of the info after posting the question. I think seperate OU's in the same forest is how I will work on divding the companies. Then I will use the Secure Gateway to point users to the appropriate servers.
