Resolve
Look for AD FS application event errors
An unexpected exception occurred when the Federation Service started. For the Federation Service to function correctly on this federation server, Internet Information Services (IIS) must be started.
To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the local Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To confirm that the IIS service is started:
- Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
- In the details pane, double-click World Wide Web Publishing Service.
- In the World Wide Web Publishing Service Properties dialog box, on the General tab, confirm that Service status indicates Started, and then click OK. If the service is not started, click Start, and then click OK.
For more details about this issue, look for Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) application event errors from IIS or ASP.NET in the event log.
