• Plan for interoperability between AD FS in Windows Server 2012 and previous versions of AD FS, and learn more about the Name ID claim type. For more information, see Planning for Interoperability with AD FS 1.x.

• If you will be sending claims from an AD FS Federation Service in Windows Server 2012 that can be consumed by an AD FS 1.x Federation Service, see Checklist: Configuring AD FS to Send Claims to an AD FS 1.x Federation Service.

• If you will be sending claims from an AD FS Federation Service in Windows Server 2012 that can be consumed by an application that is hosted by a Web server running the AD FS 1.x claims-aware Web agent, see Checklist: Configuring AD FS to Send Claims to an AD FS 1.x Claims-Aware Web Agent.

• If you will be sending claims from an AD FS 1.x Federation Service to be consumed by an AD FS Federation Service in Windows Server 2012, see Checklist: Configuring AD FS to Consume Claims from AD FS 1.x.
