Horizon View Multiple Domain Controllers

Hi Guys, I have a Horizon View 5.x deployed to my current environment using the following infrastructure:


2 x  Active Directory Servers ,Domain Controllers   (ABC.com )
1 x vCenter Server  joined to ABC.com
1 x View Composer joined to ABC.com
2 x Connection Server joined to ABC.com
2 x Security Server joined to ABC.com
1 x Base Image  joined to ABC.com

Now I have added a new Active Directory Server  Domain Controller (XYZ.com). I want to deploy my VDI environment using XYZ.com domain. I can't deploy VDI using XYZ.com domain

as  my vCenter is still connected to ABC.com. Can someone please guide me how can I achieve it or would I have to create new vCenter and join it to the XYZ.com
and then deploy new VDI?

Please help!.

Regards

It does not matter what domain the vCenter is joined to.

Do you have any trusts between the domains? If not you need to either setup 2-way transitive trusts or install another connection broker that is joined to the other domain.

Linjo, thanks for the reply. I don't want to setup 2-way trusts. By installing a new Connection Server (Connection Broker), I would still see my old domain while connecting to my desktop using View Client under Username and Password,  Domain which in my case is ABC.

Also what impact could it make to my environment as vCenter on (ABC.com) and View Environment on (XYZ.com)

Cheers
