One of my client have a security requirement to replace citrix local account 
with domain service account. 

I found the information in proddocs to replace local service account with 
domain account and set required privileged 

http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/xenapp65-admin/ps-services-overview.html
 


the problem is that service account security policy required that domain 
service account password expired every 90 days :( so I'm I looking for a way  
to avoid to change it manually every 90 days. 

I found Managed service account for windows 2008 R2 on the technet. That sound 
great, but I'm wondering if this working with XenApp and if it's supported ? 

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560633(v=ws.10).aspx


So my question for you is the following. 

Does anyone try to run xenapp with Managed Service account and have any 
feedback from citrix about supporting that ?
