Hi Everyone,

I'm configuring Windows Server 2016 Active Passive ADFS server, the primary ADFS server ADFS01-VM has been set up fine using the steps in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/deployment/install-the-ad-fs-role-service

The SSL SAN certificate *.domain.com has been imported with no issue on the primary server.

However, moving on to the secondary server called ADFS02-VM the error showing like below screenshot:

I have also executed the steps described in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/ad-fs-support-for-alternate-hostname-binding-for-certificate-authentication

Under the Primary DFS server ADFS01-VM PowerShell ISE as Administrator:

Set-AdfsAlternateTlsClientBinding -Member ADFS02-VM.DOMAIN.com -Thumbprint 'B6DA73B83A759DEE37F975668266FE92B4E5F788'  

This is the error message:

Set-AdfsAlternateTlsClientBinding :   
PS0317: One or more of AD FS servers returned errors during execution of command 'Set-AdfsAlternateTlsClientBinding'.   
Error information:
