So it is. I just learnt something :)
It's also under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\RUNTIME]
Cheers,

I might be missing something here, but why don't you just read the
registry of the server on login to see which farm it belongs to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA]
"Neighborhood"="YOUR_FARM_NAME_IS_HERE"
So a vbs or kix script could do this read quickly and easily and pass
the name to a variable or what ever you need.
Normally I'd write a quick little api executeable in this case, but our
team is working overtime at the moment so we won't get a chance until
maybe end of April. I'll let you know when we tap something together but
in the mean time, reading the reg key on login would solve the issue.
Let me know if I have miss understood what you are trying to do.
Cheers
