Do you associate StarTrek when the word federation is used inside of federation services (ADFS)?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To begin, the ‘ADFS addendum pack’ needs acknowledgement of the contributors who dealt with my many questions to better alert on AD issues!\u00a0 My thanks to Jason Windisch<\/a> for his help and expertise with Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS).\u00a0 If you need more background, check the ‘why addendum pack’ post<\/a>.\u00a0 BTW, what do you associate with the word – Federation?<\/p>\n

Overview of capabilities<\/h2>\n

The Active Directory Federation Services ‘ADFS Addendum pack’ configures ADFS group of related classes for notification\/subscription modeling.\u00a0 Second, the rules, service monitors, tasks, service recovery, alert cleanup, and summary reports aid consumption of real issues.\u00a0 Third, if you have ADFS2012R2, I have an addendum pack, but coordination necessary to get the ADFS management packs MSI (not currently available).\u00a0 Lastly, most environments should be 2016+, as the EOL\/EOSL<\/a> is quickly approaching in October!<\/p>\n

\"ADFS<\/a>

ADFS Group discovery requires server names applicable to environment<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tailoring the pack(s) to your environment<\/h2>\n

First, the Active Directory Federation Services management packs MUST be installed for the ‘ADFS Addendum pack’ to load.\u00a0 2016+ agnostic is currently supported, as the 2012,2012R2 products are near end of support.<\/p>\n

Find\/Replace the variables as needed<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Workflows<\/h3>\n

First, the DataSources (DS) and WriteActions (WA) clean up alerts, create daily reports, where the WA are the on-demand tasks versions.<\/p>\n

Data source (DS) scheduled workflows run weekdays between 0600-0700 local SCOM management server local time.\u00a0 The summary and team reports (run during this time) summarize key insights.\u00a0 NOTE: the Monday report gathers the last 72 hours, so administrators get a ‘what happened over the weekend’ view.\u00a0 Tuesday-Friday reports are past 24 hours.\u00a0 Lastly, the group policy report summarizing unique GPUpdate error output.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Monitoring<\/h3>\n
\"ADFS<\/a>

Addendum pack rules schedule data source execution, add on-demand tasks.\u00a0 \u00a0The service monitor, and Recovery tasks add service recovery automation to bring us to the ‘manual intervention required’ alerting.\u00a0 There are a few monitor\/rule overrides to match the health model.<\/p>\n
