Hi Jorge,
This is Denny, the creator of this free automated employee

Since you run a very informative blog, I would like your help
spread the word. Since my application is free, i need supporters from the
community. It would means a lot if you can help.

I have problem for ADFS certificate renew.
I read your blog https://jorgequestforknowledge.wordpress.com/category/active-directory-federation-services-adfs/
But I still have the problem too.
Claims Based and IFD certificate has been updated successfully. ADFS Relying Party Trust occur down. Test federation metadata, it is fail. The error message in event view is The RSA key used to encrypt the RSA cookie was not found in the given decryption keys.
I did configure the certificate as the secondary “Token Signing” certificate in ADFS management, it is still error.

I am also receiving that same error message when running it on server 2008 R2 SP1 64bit. Fresh from a download, only edited the XML file with the options that pertain to my environment. Did not edit the .ps1 file at all.

I’ve also just tried it on a windows 2008 R2 Server with Powershell 3.0 and a Windows 2012 R2 Server with Powershell 4.0. On both of those there are some errors, but the script continues to run. It writes the output to screen and .csv file correctly but it ALWAYS runs in TEST mode no matter what you specify for the executionMode. Running with and without the -force option results in TEST (NO MAILINGS) even when execution mode is set to DEV.

based upon your mail, you would need to adjust the filter of the query to target expiring accounts. However, do you really want to mail a user their account will expire? I do not think that’s a user’s problem, but rather the problem of the user’s manager (who knows when the user will actually stop working)
You need PowerShell scripting skills to adjust this script or see if you can find a script that fits your needs in the scripting gallery on technet

Jorge

Hi Jorge, I appreciate your blog. I have a question for you, I’m trying to move our ADFS 2.0 DB from one SQL server to another SQL server. Pretty straight forward. I’ve found these highly referenced instructions https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/948.ad-fs-2-0-migrate-your-ad-fs-configuration-database-to-sql-server.aspx but those are to move off WID to SQL. I found this msdn post where I believe you replied to his post, what I’m not sure of is it isn’t clear if you’re saying the ONLY things that need to be followed are step 5 and 7? I’ve been tasked with this move and am not really familiar with SQL or ADFS so I’m trying to make certain I know what steps I need to take, exactly. Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me.

When moving from on SQL server to another SQL server
On ADFS servers you need to:
* Stop the ADFS service
* Extract the connection string in use by ADFS for the config DB (you do not need this, but you may need when rolling back)
On the target SQL you need to:
* Create the login used by ADFS
On the source SQL you need to:
* Detach the config and artifact database
* COPY the database files over to the target SQL server
On the target SQL you need to:
* attach the config and artifact database
* Make sure every database has the Broker enabled
On ONE ADFS server you need to:
* Update the connection string to target the new SQL server
* Start the ADFS service
* Update the connection string for the artifact database
* REstart the ADFS service
On REMAINING ADFS servers you need to:
* Update the connection string to target the new SQL server
* Start the ADFS service
That’s it
Best Regards,
jorge
