Need to do a basic install from the command line? Here’s how:
cd “C:\Program Files\Active Directory Federation Services 2.0”
FSConfig.exe CreateSQLFarm /ServiceAccount "domain\adfssvc" /ServiceAccountPassword "SecretPassword" /SQLConnectionString "database=AdfsSvcConfig;server=sqlserver;integrated security=SSPI" /AutoCertRolloverEnabled /CleanConfig /FederationServiceName "login.mydomain.com"
There are a couple flags that might look a little odd:
- AutoCertRolloverEnabled – This means ADFS will manage the certificates it uses. Your other option is to specify which certificates it will use.
- CleanConfig – In case there is already an old configuration database. This will delete it.
- FederationServiceName “login.mydomain.com” – The URI of your ADFS farm.
