As the title says: i have an AD FS server installed on windows server 2016. The server is installed in basic form, so console only, no gui.
I am working from a windows 10 pro machine. how do i get AD FS remote management tools? or can this role only be managed locally?
As of February 2017, there is no remote UI for AD FS per this User Voice issue. Normally, it would be included in something like RSAT.
ADFS Management Console missing from RSAT
The current recommendation is to use Powershell via WinRM to manage remote AD FS instances.
