ADFS Configuration Failing

Question

ADFS Configuration Failing

Maranya, Damon 331

The Active Directory Federation Services Wizard is failing the configuration process with the following errors.

"An error occurred while trying to configure this machine."

"The parameter is incorrect."

In the System event log, the first event related to federation services is the initial service installation of the ADFS services on August 10th. Which is the day that we initially installed them. There are no subsequent logs relating to ADFS in the System Log.

There are no events relating to ADFS in the Setup, Security or Application logs.

There are no events present in Applications and Service Logs>ADFS>Admin.

Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to get more details about what is causing the configuration wizard to fail?

My apologies. I've not had time to get back to this until today.

The OS is Server 2016 running in a Server 2016 domain level functionality environment.

I've included the configuration selections, and corresponding script. The prerequisite check results, and the result of the configuration attempt (including the content of the "Show more" link).
