Hi<br />
<br />
I have an ADFS and ADFS Proxy servers already configured an working as part of an Office 365 setup. I now need to introduce resiliency in the form of an additional ADFS server and an additional ADFS proxy server. Windows NLB is our preferred &nbsp;method. According to this thread, NLB has to be installed before teh ADFS farm:<br />

Is this definitely correct? I.e. is there any other way of adding NLB resiliency without having to re-build the existing ADFS &nbsp;and ADS proxy servers?<br />
