ADFS 2016 Requierements Schema
Hi, I have a question. Can anyone tell me if it is required to extend the schema to implement ADFS 2016? According to this link yes: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/...
There is known issue with that.
The 2016 farm behavior level requires the ADDS 2016 schema (DC can be at a lower level, but the schema needs to be 2016). BUT, when you install a brand new farm from scratch using Windows Server 2016 it will show as the FBL is already 2016 regardless of the ADDS schema version. This, hopefully, should be corrected.
If you want to use the FBL 2016 you need ADDS 2016 Schema. So we cannot guarantee that the new features will be working as expected.
If you were doing an upgrade from an existing ADFS 2012 R2 farm, you would have not been able to upgrade the FBL until the ADDS schema is 2016.
I'm a little confused about that statement as well.
I agree It is a litle confusing, and yes it could be for some features like VasilMichev said before.
