Prior to imaging the server, run CHFARM and add it to a new erroneous farm using a local access datastore. Snap the image, and then once you reploy that image, run CHFARM again and add it to your existing farm. Works like a champ.

We set it all up, install mf, do the clean up as per citrix cloning docs (does not include removing from farm in anyway). Then sysprep it. Problem is: The box we initially sysprep from does not go back into the farm correclty ever again. We image it and try to add to farm and it does not work. We have to do dsmaint recreatelhc to get it to go in. I noticed that before adding it back the server is gone from the farm except that it still shows up under zone information? _______________________________________________ Doug Stratton CITS Technology Development Analyst Work: 250-356-6678 doug.m.stratton@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:doug.m.stratton@xxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________
