AD FS 2.0 Cmdlets

For example, to display the federation service properties, in a little more verbose way than the Federation Service Properties window of the GUI:

Get-AdfsProperties

These properties can be updated, with ‘Set-AdfsProperties’ and the whole configuration can be made with PowerShell like managing Relying Parties, certificates, endpoints, etc.

But first things first, before using these cmdlets, we’ve got to load the right module:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Adfs.PowerShell
