Set-AdfsSyncProperties

Modifies the frequency of synchronization for the AD FS configuration database and which server is primary in the farm.

Syntax

Set-AdfsSyncProperties
   [-PrimaryComputerName <String>]
   [-PrimaryComputerPort <Int32>]
   [-PollDuration <Int32>]
   [-Role <String>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Set-ADFSSyncProperties cmdlet modifies the frequency of synchronization for the Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) configuration database. The cmdlet also specifies which federation server is the primary server in the federation server farm.

Examples

Example 1: Modify the poll duration for a farm

PS C:\> Set-AdfsSyncProperties -PollDuration 3600 -PrimaryComputerName "FederationServerPrimary"

This command modifies the database synchronization to 3600 seconds. The command makes the change to the primary federation server.

Example 2: Change a server from secondary to primary

PS C:\> Set-AdfsSyncProperties -Role "PrimaryComputer"

This command changes an AD FS server in a WID farm from secondary to primary.

Example 3: Change a primary server to a secondary server

PS C:\> Set-AdfsSyncProperties -Role "SecondaryComputer" -PrimaryComputerName "<FQDN of primary server>"

This command changes a primary AD FS server in a WID farm to a secondary server. Note: The primary server must be accessible via HTTP on port 80 from the secondary server.
