No issues at all Alan. Although I have found in some of the larger enterprise 
environments that I have to increase the Kerberos token size on the XenApp 
servers.

 

So I script it as per the following.

 

----start script----

@ECHO OFF

 

:: Increase the MaxTokenSize. This is required in larger organisations when 
communicating with SQL 2008

 

:: To be applied on the Citrix Servers. A registry parameter is available to 
increase the Kerberos token size.

:: For example, increasing the token size to 65 KB allows a user to be present 
in more than 900 groups.

:: Because of the associated SID information, this number may vary. The default 
value for MaxTokenSize is 12000

:: decimal. It is recommended that you set this value to 65535 decimal, FFFF 
hexadecimal. If you set this value

:: incorrectly to 65535 hexadecimal (an extremely large value) Kerberos 
authentication operations may fail, and

:: programs may return errors. Refer to the following articles for further 
information:

:: - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/263693

:: - http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1557

:: Note: After you set the value and the computer is updated, restart the 
computer

 

SetLocal

 

SET KEY=HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters

REG ADD "%KEY%" /v MaxTokenSize /d 65535 /t REG_DWORD /f

 

EndLocal

Exit /b 0

----end script----

 

The best way to migrate the database between different versions of SQL is to 
use the DSMAINT MIGRATE command line from a XenApp server.

 

Cheers,

Jeremy.

Hi All,

 

Just wanted some advice on a migration plan as looking to decom our SQL 2000 
cluster servers and replace them with SQL 2008, firstly does anyone know of any 
issues with support for XenApp4.5 R05 Win2003 servers on SQL2008?

 

The plan would be to move both my Resource Manager Summary DB and the Data 
Store so any advice or hazards I may come across would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Alan
