Hi Neil, My apologies, I probably wasn't as clear as I should be. We will actually be trashing the forst and moving the Citrix servers into the existing Forest. I totally agree with your comments. Once again, many thanks for your assistance.

Trying to integrate a separate forest, isn't exactly the easiest thing, once you've decided to consolidate. Why not simply a different domain? And does it even need to be a separate domain? If it does *truly* need to be either a different forest, domain, or merely OU structure - evaluate the technical criteria by which you would choose to implement a separate construct - and if it doesn't meet that, then don't do it.
