Dynamics 365 Finance - Onpremise) AD DS, AD FS, AD CS questions

We installed AD DS, AD CS, and AD FS in one server. (example, 11.110.11.101, server name : ADS)

Q1) If I transfer AD DS to another server (example, 11.110.11.121, server name : ADS2), do I need to reinstall AD FS and AD CS as well? How does it affect D365finance?

Do I have to do some of the D365 finance and opening work again?

(example. 20. Configure AD FS)

Set up and deploy on-premises environments (Application 10.0.32 and later) - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn

Then, Do i have to re-depoly in MS LCS?

Q2) If I transfer AD DS to another server (example, 11.110.11.121, server name : ADS2). Then AD CS and AD FS were also reinstalled on the new server.

Which D365 installation should I do again?

Set up and deploy on-premises environments (Application 10.0.32 and later) - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn

Now that the ADCS server has changed, do I need to re-create the certificates as well?

Hi,

Q1) If you transfer AD DS to another server (e.g., 11.110.11.121, server name: ADS2), you will need to reinstall AD FS and AD CS on the new server. This is because AD FS and AD CS are dependent on AD DS for their functionality. As for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, you may need to reconfigure some settings related to AD FS, such as updating the AD FS endpoint URL in the application. This can be done through the "Configure AD FS" step mentioned in the Microsoft Learn documentation. Additionally, if you have made any customizations or configurations specific to the previous AD DS server, you may need to replicate those changes on the new server.

Regarding MS LCS, if you have made changes to the server configuration, such as changing the IP address or server name, it is recommended to update the server details in LCS to ensure proper management and monitoring of the environment.

Q2) If you transfer AD DS to another server (e.g., 11.110.11.121, server name: ADS2) and reinstall AD CS and AD FS on the new server, you will need to perform the D365 installation again following the "Set up and deploy on-premises environments" guide provided by Microsoft Learn. This installation process includes configuring AD FS and other components necessary for the D365 Finance and Operations environment.

Regarding the ADCS server change, if you have generated certificates using the previous ADCS server, you may need to re-create those certificates on the new server. This ensures that the certificates are valid and properly issued by the new ADCS instance.

Best regards,

Kevin
