Mapping Your Deployment Goals to an AD FS 2.0 Design
Applies To: Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0
After you finish reviewing the existing Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0 deployment goals and you determine which goals are related to your deployment, you can map those goals to a specific AD FS 2.0 design. For more information about AD FS 2.0 predefined deployment goals, see Identifying Your AD FS 2.0 Deployment Goals.
Use the following table to determine which AD FS 2.0 design maps to the appropriate combination of AD FS 2.0 deployment goals for your organization. This table refers only to the two primary AD FS 2.0 designs, as described in this guide. However, you can create a hybrid or custom AD FS 2.0 design by using any combination of the AD FS 2.0 deployment goals to meet the needs of your organization.
