Error when adding a new Windows Server 2016 to ADFS Server Farm with SQL Database

Description:
You have successfully configured the first ADFS Server with SQL Database in a ADFS farm. Now you want to add another node to the ADFS Farm. 

However when you run the ADFS Configuration wizard, you encountered an error and the process stops.

At the prerequisite checks, we can see several errors as per below:

  • "An error occurred during an attempt to connect to the AD FS configuration database. Error: Login failed for user 'Domain\The account I am logged into the server with'.. Confirm that the database hostname and instance name are correct and that the specified service account has logon access to the database."
  • "Cannot open database "AdfsConfigurationV0" requested by the login. The login failed.
  • Login failed for user 'domain\managed service account$'."
Resolution:
Make sure the account that you are using have the Owner Access to the ADFS database. 
The permissions can be removed after adding the new nodes.
