- Make sure enable powershell remoting on ADFS, Domain Controller, AD Connect Server and Web Application Proxy. To do, execute the following in elevated Powershell
| Enable-PSRemoting |
- Create a record on Host File (C:\Windows\System32\driver\etc\Hosts and enter
- Web Application proxy ip and server name (on ADFS Server)
- ADFS ip and server name (on Web Application Server)
- On ADFS Server, in elevated powershell session, enter

- Use Server Manager to add Web Application proxy into All Server. Remember to select DNS tab and add Web Application Proxy Server
