Join Citrix (CAG) database to different farm

Move the citrix access gateway server to a different farm retaining the same database:

simplified..

Step 2: 
check the farm database server and database name.. in this case database name is qdc-ctx-aac

we need to delete an entry from registry. so go to registry (regedit)

and delete the selected citrixAGEServer registry folder.
IMP: before deleting CitrixAGEServer foler from registry, select citrixAGEServer registry folder and export the file to a safe location.
now we need to chage the server configured value to 0 from 1
before changing MSAM value from registry, take a backup; export the file to a safe location.
double click serverconfigured name change the existing value from 1 to 0.
close registry.
Now its time to move the database to a new server.
Select Programs>>Citrix>>Access Gateway>>Server Configuration
at this instance you will be taken to CAG advanced edition server configuration wizard..
select join an existing access server farm
enter the credentials who has permission to the citrix database server.
enter the new FARM database server name followed by database name.
if you have a separate database server instance, mention for ex.: XYZ-SVR\instance name
access server farm name is the database name itself.
click next
click Next >> Next and Finish the server configuration wizard.
now select Citrix>>Access Gateway>>Server Configuration
you will now see that the farm database server name is joined to the specified new farm.
