  1. Create a custom theme that is based on the default.

  2. Export the theme by specifying the output folder.

    Export-AdfsWebTheme -Name custom -DirectoryPath C:\CustomWebTheme

  3. Locate the Style.css file that is located in the output folder. By using the previous example, the path would be C:\CustomWebTheme\Css\Style.css.

  4. Open the Style.css file with an editor, such as Notepad.

  5. Locate the #copyright portion, and then change it to the following:

    #copyright {color:#696969; display:none;}

    Set-AdfsWebTheme -TargetName custom -StyleSheet @{locale="";path="C:\customWebTheme\css\style.css"}

  7. Activate the new theme.

    Set-AdfsWebConfig -ActiveThemeName custom
