Detailed Description

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

Parameters

-CertificateThumbprint<String>

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.

-OverwriteConfiguration

This parameter must be used to remove an existing AD FS configuration database and overwrite it with a new database.

-PrimaryComputerName<String>

Specifies the name of the primary federation server in the farm that this computer will join.

-PrimaryComputerPort<Int32>

Specifies the value of the HTTP port that this computer uses to connect with the primary computer in order to synchronize configuration settings. Specify a value of 80 for this parameter, or specify an alternate value if the HTTP port on the primary computer is not 80. If this parameter is not specified, a default port value of 443 is assumed.

-ServiceAccountCredential<PSCredential>

Specifies the Active Directory account under which the AD FS service runs. All nodes in the farm must use the same service account.

-SQLConnectionString<String>

Specifies the SQL Server database that will store the AD FS configuration settings. If not specified, AD FS uses Windows Internal Database to store configuration settings

Examples

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

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".

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

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

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.

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