    • ADFS02, must be domain joined
    • WebProxy01, should not be domain joined
    • WebProxy02, should not be domain joined
  • SSL certificate for federation gateway, e.g. fs.domain.com, it should be installed on all ADFS servers and Web Proxies.
  • Access to all servers with installation account, which must be Domain Admin.
  • Two AD service accounts, e.g. SVC-AADSYNC änd SVC-ADFS. Both have to be Domain User. AADSYNC will need more permissions for hybrid deployment: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn757602.aspx#BKMK_CreateAnADAccountForTheSyncService
