Hello all,

Let me start by saying I am more of a Networking person. However, my
job responsibilities have increased and my company needs me to perform
some SA functions. I need some help with an upcoming AD migration.

We have a program that users access by authenticating to a program on
a WinNT box then authenticating via Citrix on Win2kSP4 servers to get
to the program. The NT box is going away and AD is coming. It is my
job to ensure that users
will have access to our program which they connect to via Citrix - post

AD migration. I am a little unclear as to what I will have to do on my

end to ensure this.

I would think the AD group that is migrating the NT box to AD would set

up the domain controller and the Citrix and application servers would
be member servers? If that be the case, would it just be a matter of
the AD group setting up an OU for our users on the domain controller?
If so, then what would we really have to do on our end to ensure the
users have access? Once they set up the OU, would we just have to add
the users to the container? I am aware that we will have to update DNS
in order for our member servers to communicate with the AD DC.

Let me know if you need any more info before responding. I hope this
doesn't sound like an 'ignorant' post but I am no AD guru...I know very
little about it. And even after googling the subject, the info I've
found still doesn't seem to really apply to this particular scenario.
Any thoughts/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

CS1

Firstly open the DNS console and add the A host records for the member
servers in it.Then create an OU with the whoever the users you think you want
to access the Citrix and Appln server and add to it along with the member
servers.Giving necessary permission by using either GPO's or ACL's.
