Environment: two adfs web application proxy behind load balancer. Two backend ADFS 3.0 server. Each WAP points to a single ADFS server. ADFS server has the configuration and artifact databases on an alwayson group in a different SQL server.

What I would like:
Ideally, have the current two ADFS servers as primary and secondary with WID, meaning, move the database back to how it would be under wid condition.

I looked at the rapid restore article below and it feels like one would have to run that, then install a brand new environment and then restore from what was exported out of the tool.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/ad-fs-rapid-restore-tool

Would appreciate if anyone could provide a good guideline on how to go about doing that.
Thanks!
