Hello,
I'm attempting to follow the "AD FS 2.0 Federation with a windows identity foundation application step-by-step guide" ( https://connect.microsoft.com/site642/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=25361 ) to determine if AD FS is a feasable solution for an enterprise system I will be developing. I successfully run adfssetup.exe, and it appears to complete without error.... however, after restarting, the ADFS 2.0 Windows Service fails to start. Attempts to start this service manually fail as well.
The error message given when the service fails to start manually is,
"Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
Two error events are logged to the System event log, both basically saying the same thing (30000 ms timeout reached, and one that simply repeats the error above). No other event log messages are generated that I can find. Furthermore, I can't seem to locate any log files that may indicate why the service is failing.
I did some google searching, and found a bug report that seems to mirror this condition (lost the link... sorry :( ), but it was closed with a status of 'unable to reproduce'. I'm trying to set this up on Windows Server 2008 (x64) with Service Pack 2 installed. In addition to the base OS, I installed .Net 3.5 SP1, and Visual Studio 2008 (as required by the instructions). The most recent time I've tried to get this working, the IIS role was enabled prior to running the adfs installer, but not the AD FS role. Enabling the ADFS server role does not appear to have an effect - I attempted to run ADFSSetup in both conditions.
I have also tried starting over with a clean 2008 install and building the machine up from scratch, in case I missed a step in the walk through somehow, but at this point it doesn't appear to be working. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to successfully install AD FS on Server 2008 enterprise, or any pointers on how to enable additional logging so that I can determine why the AD FS web service is failing to start. Without this service, the AD FS 2.0 Setup Wizard will not complete.
Has anyone successfully run ADFSsetup.exe on Server 2008?
I guess the better question is, what is the difference between the adfs server role that can be enabled on 2008 server, and the windows service that is installed by adfssetup?
This question was posted to the Active Directory discussion group, but received no response. My apologies for the cross-post, but I've had pretty good success here in the past.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
