HI Guys,

I have almost 350+ RP configured in adfs 2012. I'm migrating all Relay Party from ADFS 2012 to 2019.
Configuring this manually on 2019 its taking long time.
old and new are different farm.
can anyone help me with adfs have any migrate option? or any powershell command to export and import?

Thanks in advance.!

    You can just upgrade from 2012 to 2019 the same way you would upgrade from 2012 to 2012 R2. It is a parallel run and it is documented there.

    Basically you create a new farm with the same name, same TLS certificate and same service account. Then you run an export script on the old farm, and import the data to the new farm. Both farm are valid and can run in parallel (as long as the token signing certificate is valid). The decision to use one or the other will be done by updating the DNS record (and/or the load balancer configuration if any). You can use a HOSTS file to test it for example.

    Have a look and et us know what you think!

    Thanks for the response.

    Already 2 different farm running like test1.domain.com and test2.domain.com

    test1 adfs farm running 2012
    test2 adfs farm running 2019

    Now, How to migrate the RP from test1 to test2?
    Any powershell script to export and import? or any solution
