Message: | The AD FS Web Agent Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) Extension encountered a serious error. The AD FS configuration information could not be retrieved from the Internet Information Services (IIS) configuration. The Web agent will not be able to authenticate users until it can retrieve configuration information from the IIS metabase. This condition can occur if the IIS metabase schema extension fails during AD FS setup. |
Resolve
Add the AD FS Authentication Service principal account to the IIS_IUSRS group
Add the AD FS Authentication Service principal account as a member of the IIS_IUSRS group. This group is located in Computer Management\System Tools\Local Users and Groups\Groups.
