Hi Malcolm,
 
Provided the prod and test farms both have an SQL datastore and they both use 
the same SQL username and password for datastore connection, you don't need 
chfarm at all.
 
Just a script that does the following:
 
net stop imaservice
 
change server= and Address= values in \program files\citrix\independent 
management architecture\mf20.dsn.
eg.
 
Address=testSQL,1433
.
Server=testSQL
 
to
 
Address=ProdSQL,1433
.
Server=ProdSQL
 
(or just overwrites the test mf20.dsn with a production copyy)
 
then
 
net start imaservice
 
regards,
 
Rick

I want to make sure the prod build is exactly the same at test build.  After
completing a prod build I want to run an additional script which will then
move it to another farm.  When you do a chfarm it launches a lovely little
wizard.  I've tried to find parameters for chfarm using chfarm /? Which
doesn't help.  The advanced admin guide doesn't have much in it either...

Why not change the script so it puts them in the test farm?  Chgfarm is
just a command line util, shouldn't be any reason you can't kick it off
from within a script.

Hi All



Is it possible to script a chfarm process?.  Have some servers which I'd
like to use for testing.  We have a scripted build which we use to build
servers into production farm.  Like to then move servers into another
farm
for testing.  Means I always have current live build in test each time a
server is rebuilt.  Ideas?
