ADFS 2.0 and SHA-1 issues
I cannot get adfs 2.0 to accept SHA-1 certificate. I have change it in UI, restart the server but still get an error that it is expecting SHA-256. Any idea or help.?

[tfl - 18 02 12] Hi - and thanks for your post. Community content is not the appropriate place for technical support queries. Instead, you should in general visit the Technet Forums at http://forums.microsoft.com/technet, where such posts are welcomed and where you stand a much better chance of getting your query resolved. Sorry if that's not the answer you wanted to hear.

Also look above for ADFS forum RUL in +Brad Muhaugh's post.
Issues with B2 and VHDs

The Geneva server install seems to have a hung disk check dialog. Also, the Contoso1 VHD cannot be unzipped.

Response to Issues with installation and VHD issues
Thanks, Thomas, but for support issues please use the AD FS 2.0 team forum. You can post your concern there in a new thread.

Here is the link to it:

Note: I should also mention that there is a link bug with the last related topics link on this page that I've found and have fixed in the source document but the fix may not go live for a little while so here's the workaround.
