Description

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

Examples

Example 1: Add a farm node 

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

This example 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 named SQLHost.

Example 2: Add a farm node and overwrite the existing configuration 

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

This example 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 named PrimaryWIDHost.

Note that the PrimaryComputerPort is required 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.

Required Parameters

-GroupServiceAccountIdentifier

Specifies the firstref_adds Group Managed Service Account under which the Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) service runs.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Specifies the name of the primary federation server in a federation server farm. The cmdlet adds the computer to the federation server farm that has the primary federation server that you specify.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-SQLConnectionString

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.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ServiceAccountCredential

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

Type: PSCredential
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Optional Parameters

-CertificateThumbprint

Specifies the certificate thumbprint of a digital public key X.509 certificate of a user account that has permission to perform this action.

-OverwriteConfiguration

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

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False

-PrimaryComputerPort

Specifies the primary computer port. The computer uses the HTTP port that you specify 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.

Type: Int32
