Description

The Add-AdfsFarmNode cmdlet adds this computer to an existing federation server farm.

Examples

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------

C:\PS>$fscredential = Get-Credential
C:\PS>Add-AdfsFarmNode -ServiceAccountCredential $fscredential -SQLConnectionString "Data Source=SQLHost;Integrated Security=True"

Description

Adds the local server computer as a node in an existing federation server farm that uses a Microsoft SQL Server database installed on a computer called "SQLHost".

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------

C:\PS>$fscredential = Get-Credential
C:\PS>Add-AdfsFarmNode -OverwriteConfiguration -PrimaryComputerName "PrimaryWIDHost" -PrimaryComputerPort 80 -ServiceAccountCredential $fscredential -CertificateThumbprint 8169c52b4ec6e77eb2ae17f028fe5da4e35c0bed

Description

Overwrites an existing AD FS configuration database and adds the local server computer as a node in an existing federation server farm that uses Windows Internal Database (WID) and whose primary node is installed on a computer called "PrimaryWIDHost".

Note that the PrimaryComputerPort is needed even if the default HTTP port of 80 is used and that the CertificateThumbprint parameter is only required if it is not already configured as a binding in IIS. Also when specifying a value for the CertificateThumbprint parameter, the value you use must specify the thumbprint of a certificate that is currently installed in the local machine My store, and the certificate must be the same certificate that is used as the SSL certificate on the primary node.

Parameters

-CertificateThumbprint

Specifies the value of the certificate thumbprint of the certificate that should be used in the SSL binding of the Default Web Site in IIS. This value should match the thumbprint of a valid certificate in the Local Computer certificate store.
