Step-by-Step Guide for AD FS in Windows Server 2008

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/a018ccfe-acb2-41f9-9f0a-102b80a3398c1033.mspx?mfr=true

It's the same basic "playing around with AD FS" scenario that was released as a .DOC file for R2 - treyresearch and adatum and a claims-aware web app, puts the FSA and FSR on a DC, uses self-signed certs...though it's not actually all that hard to install AD CS on the DCs and use an enterprise CA instead of self-signed for this purpose. All the usual "not for production use" caveats are in effect: for those familiar with the phrase, it's "the bouncy slide" in action.

I'm listing it here because I seriously had no idea that this had been updated for 2008 until the link was sent to me, and my Google-fu usually doesn't let me down that hard, so maybe someone else can't find it either. 

The consolation prize is that my "muddling around and doing what made sense in my head" has actually been a pretty good match to documentation that I hadn't yet seen, so rock on with my bad self, and all.

(Side note - the navigation on that jump-off page actually isn't the greatest - if you're looking for "Click here for step 1", "Click here for step 2", etc., on the main pane, you're not going to find it. Rather, you'll need to expand the nav-bar in the left-hand pane to drill down to the actual steps involved.)

Frack. It also appears that the instructions go off the rails at precisely the moment you would've hoped that they wouldn't have done so, which doesn't bode well for this sample app actually working as desired. More updates as events warrant.
