I think I found the server settings. Under the gateway properties on the AG there is a ticketing authority option that still showed the old server name.

This morning when I came in I tested the AG and found that the endpoint scan worked but when I attempted to logon it said "access is denied". I checked a couple of accounts to make sure I wasn't typing the password wrong and still got the "Access is denied" message. So I restarted IIS with the IISRESET command on the AAC server and everything started working again without issues. I looked through the event logs and found this error just after I restarted IIS. The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {0C0A3666-30C9-11D0-8F20-00805F2CD064} to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool. I fixed this error by following MS suggestion. I noticed two other odd things. 1 - On the AG log I am getting... 08/08/06 08:16:28): 2:controller:dnsd: : failed at gethostbyname (app-02:0) (08/08/06 08:16:53): 2:host: Host not found.

(08/08/06 08:18:38): 2:controller:dnsd: : failed at gethostbyname (app-02:0) App-02 server was a citrix server and has been removed from the farm. The farm on AAC doesn't show the app-02 server so I don't know where the AG is getting that from. 2 - On the AAC server... DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer AACSERVER using any of the configured protocols. AACServer was a second AAC server that has been removed. Any idea how to remove this ghost server? I'm guessing someplace in SQL...

The AAC server is also a dedicated server just for AAC and has plenty of ram and HD.
