Hi everybody,
Need to migrate view with linkedclone and persistent disks to new AD domain
is it posible?
if i add View server to new domain
then create new vm pool
and atached persistent disks to vm
How do you think, is it work?
I believe you are planning to move Vcenter as well to a different Domain or you have already Done that.
Moving Linked clones to different Domain you can try this again cannot assure 100% success Please try in a Test Environment
1)Create two way trust between the existing and new Domain
2)Install Connection server in the new Domain as a replica to the existing Domain
3) Try building machines in the new Domain
4)Attach the Persistent Disks to the new machines or Recreate Desktops
5)Remove or Decommission the old Connection Server http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1010153
Hopefully this should be it.

Thanks,
I'll try do this
why i can't just add view server to new domain,
add new vm pool and create new vdi desktops in new domain and attach persistent disks?
You can certainly Do that as well
1)Detach Persistent Disk from existing pool
2)From New Connection Server Import persistent Disks from Vcenter(This option would take a long time to export so you have to be really patient on this one)
3)Once import is done Go to persistent Disk Hit recreate Desktop should be good
all instructions go to create new connection server as replica
and then few way to make vm
You should *not* be doing detach/recreate for migrating Linked clones to new domain . I would suggest to perform "Recompose to new domain" as per below steps (This is officially supported scenario)
Recompose to new domain:
yesterday try to migrate view server to new domain, that's end not good ((
after migration admin page doesn't work.
all services run, but admin page doesn't open... rollback to snapshot...
For this, my suggestion will be as follows.
Create trust relationship between domains. (Two way transitive)
Setup new connection server on new domain as replica to the existing View server (And add the new administrator account to the administrator role)
Once desktops are migrated, you can decommission the old connection server and you can remove the trust relationship.
