Hello Roger,

I enjoyed reading your blog, and I was wondering if you provide sponsorship opportunities?

Can you help me answer the following questions:

- Do you have sponsorship opportunities for Citrix solution vendors, such as email announcements to your contact database?

- How much do you charge for an email announcement to your community?

- What other sponsorship opportunities do you offer?

- How big is your community / readership (# members)?

- Do you produce / participate in vendor-sponsored webinars as a Citrix expert?

Thanks for your help!

Actually here’s the steps involved in “join such and such domain” that someone not familiar with process will need:

* After you finish creating the domain and reboot, RDP to the DC instance again then go to Start > Administrative Tool > Active Directory Users and Computers.
* Click on Users.
* In the toolbar click on “Create a new user in the current container”. Follow steps to creating providing login name, a password, etc. Make sure the “force user to change password is deselected”.
Ok. Done.

* Now, when RDPto the XenApp instance, log in with EC2.local\Administrator (with the normal password to that machine).
* In the Server Manager click on “Change System Properties”.
* Click on Change
* Click to select Domain. Then enter EC2.local. It should now prompt you with an username/password prompt. Enter the credentials you used when you created the user in the DC.
* If successful it’ll prompt to reboot.
Done.

Hope that helps.

Can you even ping the DC from the XA server? They need to be configured within the same Security Group to communicate.

Actually, either way, this step cannot be completed (joining the domain). I followed every step to the “T” and cannot join the DC in any way or manner. If this worked when you wrote it, amazon might changed the way they handle internal DNS queries/lookups since. Using the prvate ip of the DC instance as primary DNS and Google’s as its secondary doesn’t help. It simply doesn’t know what EC2.local or XA-DC or XA-DC.EC2.local is.

Roger,

Shouldn’t this step “Join the EC2.lab domain and reboot the instance.”

“Join the EC2.local domain and reboot the instance” instead?
