ADFS Diagnostic Tool

  • 아티클

A huge thanks to the ADFS test team for developing such a great tool. 

 

Here is a quick "how to"

 

The tool is very simple to use and provides a graphical UI. In order to perform distributed diagnosis, i.e. diagnose failures based on the configuration of multiple machines in the scenario, it’s necessary to copy the out file generated by the tool each time it’s run and use it as an input/output file when running the tool on the next machine.

 

For example, to debug a scenario with an FS at the account role (FS-A), an FS at the resource role (FS-R) and a Web Server (WS), first run the tool on the FS-A selecting a new file, say adfsdiag.out. After the tool is run, this file will now contain configuration information relative to the FS-A. Copy the file to the FS-R machine and run the tool there, this time selecting the existing adfsdiag.out file. The tool will detect it already contains information relative to other roles and will execute extra configuration checks, for example, a claim flow check that verifies the outgoing claims sent by the FS-A match the incoming claims expected by the FS-R. After this second run, adfsdiag.out will contain information relative to both the FS-A and FS-R. Finally, copy the out file to the WS machine and run the tool again following the same steps. When running the tool for a role for which there’s already information present in the selected file, the old data for that role will be overwritten with the new information, making it possible to fix errors on a machine and re-run the tool without having to start the whole process all over again. There’s no “right order” to run the tool, all of them should give the same output, except for some certificate checks that will only be executed at the WS in case the information from the FS-R is available beforehand

 

Please give this tool a try and provide any feedback to this blog.

    Sorry - Seems to be working.  I saw the 2 version and they are labeled x86 and amd64 versions.  I usually see x64 or ia64 for intel 64bit architechture and thought amd64 was for AMD procs, I installed the wrong version(x86).  The amd64 version is running fine now.

    I can't tell you how much this tool saved me, I was troubleshooting for hours and I would have never figured out the issues without this tool.  Thanks so much for writing and publishing it!

    Bizarrely I have three W2K8R2 servers, all Build 7600; it works on one (The Resource Fed Server), but not on the Account Fed Server or the server where the ADFS Web Agent is installed against IIS. Error is "Unable to create a report for role (Account Federation Server|WebAgentClaims). The ADFS Diagnostics did not create a log file" No trace of any helpful messages anywhere, and I have checked the obvious potential issues (file permissions etc) Anyone got any ideas?

    The link to the ADFS 64 bit troubleshooting tool is no longer valid. Is there a new location to this tool?

    Does anyone have a version that is confirmed to work on windows 2008 64bit? I have tried every URL here, but everything now points to a new "updated" version that is suppose to work with 32 and 64bit, but mine crashes on 3 different 64bit servers.  The old 64bit version that was on this site, is no longer there. http://blogs.technet.com/adfs/archive/2008/02/18/adfs-diagnostic-tool-64-bit.aspx
