Description

This article describes how to remove a server from the farm in XenApp 6.x.

The chfarm command is used to remove or move the server and the command is no longer valid in XenApp 6.x. So an alternative method to move the XenApp server is provided here.


Instructions

To move a XenApp server from the farm or join the server to another farm, complete the following steps:
  1. Use XenApp Server Configuration Tool accessed through the Server Role Manager.
Note: In XenApp 6.0, the server manager is available from the Start > Citrix. In XenApp 6.5 the server manager is accessed through Administrative Tools > Citrix.
  1. Select Edit Configuration.
