You want to use SQL Always On capability for your application. 

You need to change the Database Connection string.

Resolution:

Please run the following at PowerShell on all ADFS Server (one by one):

$temp= Get-WmiObject -namespace root/ADFS -class SecurityTokenService
$temp.ConfigurationdatabaseConnectionstring=”data source=<you sql instance>;multisubnetfailover=true;initial catalog=adfsconfiguration;integrated security=true”
$temp.put()

Set-AdfsProperties –artifactdbconnection ”Data source=<you sql instance>;multisubnetfailover=true;Initial Catalog=AdfsArtifactStore;Integrated Security=True”

Exception Error when Running PowerShell command to Update the ADFS SQL Connection String.

Description:

As per article from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/design/federation-server-farm-using-sql-server, we need to run the following command to update the SQL connection string for the AD FS configuration database:

PS:\>$temp= Get-WmiObject -namespace root/ADFS -class SecurityTokenService
PS:\>$temp.ConfigurationdatabaseConnectionstring="datasource=<SQLCluster\SQLInstance>;initial catalog=adfsconfiguration;integrated security=true"

PS:\>$temp.put()

The update is necessary to support SQL Always On feature.

However, there's an "exception error" when you run the above script in PowerShell.

Resolution:

For modifying the connection string on the additional ADFS server in the Farm, you need to stop the ADFS Service first. After that run the above script and start the ADFS Service again.
