We are using SQL Mirroring (same datacenter) for HA and SQL Log Shipping (different datacenter) for DR. Works like a charm! While a colleague was doing stuff in ADFS, I performed a manual failover. Within ADFS, a delay of a sec or two was n...

Our university ADFS is using a clustered SQL server for its configuration database. This database has to occasionally be taken offline for maintenance. Does anyone know if ADFS can tolerate short periods of config DB unavailability? Joe Kaplan sug...

Hi Joe, Thanks for help. Will go ahead and stick to Read only scenario for testing purpose. My understanding is one should convert secondary site ADFS server to primary only when primary server site gone down permanently (long period). Let me ...
Hi Mahesh, If you are using WID and want your secondary server to be "editable", you'll want to make it primary. If you can tolerate a read-only scenario I believe it will work fine. You might also consider moving to a SQL-based back end. You...
