Plan the new site

The network administrators have decided to set up a new domain for the new environment, based on Windows Server 2012 domain controllers and Active Directory 2012. Ultimately, a new virtual apps site is planned, based on Windows Server 2012 running virtual apps. But for now, the new domain is used only for the Windows 7 virtual desktops site.

The site is based on a shared Windows 7 base image that is hosted in a XenServer (formerly Citrix Hypervisor) environment and accessed by Windows terminals. Office 2007 is included in the base image.

Because users from both domains are expected to use the new domain, a two-way trust is set up between OldDomain and NewDomain. Both domains must belong to the same AD forest.

The following graphic illustrates the configuration of the new virtual desktops site.
