Question : The AD schema has not been updated to support synchronization with Citrix Password M anager

A new installation of Citrix Xen App on a windows 2008 X64 Server on a Windows 2000 Native Domain has trouble connecting Citrix Xen App to the network.  The little connection icon at the bottom right of the screen in the tool bar is crossed out and red.  When I try to connect to the current Xen App Server or to a domain controller it generates the message in the title above in the application log.  I am wondering it this is a domain level issue as I tried to run the prescribed update from a domain controller as specified form the Xen App cd, but it did not appear to update the domain.  Might I have to update the domain to 2003 first in order to take advantage of this option?

Answer : The AD schema has not been updated to support synchronization with Citrix Password M anager

This is good advice, and I did actually have to extend the permissions also.  However this was not the overall problem.  In fact I opened a ticket with Citrix and we did a Webex and they noticed that the Schema had in fact already been extended with our previous version of Presentation Server, so that was not the issue at all even though I was lead to believe that by the error messages I received.  The CentralStoreRoot folder which had been added to Active Directory was some how corrupted and was not allowing the Password Manager install to complete.  What he ended up doing was deleting the CentralStoreRoot folder from the Program Data\Citrix folder in Active Directory.  Then we re-ran the Schema update and the Domain update from the Installation CD on the Domain Controller which is the Schema Master and both finished and the CentralStoreRoot was recreated and the installation liked it this time and completed.  Then I was able to run a "Configure and Run Discovery" from the Citrix Access Management Console and everything was successful.  We do not know why the folder had become corrupt, maybe it was associated with the fact that we are now on XenApp and running it so many times perhaps mangled the attributes, but it is not clear and it was over all remedied which is all that really matters now.  

Thank you for your time on this.  There are many areas with the Schema updates that a person needs to check regarding permissions on the Schema Master and in fact 'allowing' Schema Updates as you had mentioned.
