Resolution

Problem Cause

Two different forests with the same netbios name.
(Connector) Resource Location: RL1
###.XYZ.local 
Resource Location: RL2
###.XYZ.com 

Issue caused due to internal logic/caching in AD Identity Service of Citrix Cloud. Currently it relies on each forest having a unique NETBIOS name. If there are duplicate entries, calls may get directed towards incorrect forest. 

Normal/ traditional way to represent a computer, is in the format 'Domain NetBIOS name\machine account'. This needs to be changed to format “Full domain name\machine account”.
