Hi,
I am experiencing problem on newly deployed ADFS farm with windows server 2016. Everything is setup and relaying party trusts are authenticating but after a day or two, on random one of the farm servers starts giving Unknown user name or bad password for account NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID and stop authenticating. After rebooting the server experiencing the issue it starts to work again for awhile.
Account has been set in in GPO "Log on as a Service" and also NT SERVICE\ALL SERVICES, also confirmed that there is no GPO's blocking this setting.
Server is rebooted and installed latest windows updates. Any ideas how to fix this and prevent this happening?
