![Unable to reach IDP Initiated page of ADFS in Server 2016](https://windowstechpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/0a0d80_66d962a94662432d845d9e2be540c929mv2.webp)
Noticed IDPInitiated signon page is not loading by default in Adfs 2016 as it is loading in pervious versions.
Default IDP URL : https://adfsname.domainname.com/adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon.aspx In my case, https://sts.windowstechpro.com/adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon.aspx

Ideally, in ADFS 2016 it is disabled by default.
Run the below command to see status of the IDP Initiatedsignon page.
Get-AdfsProperties | Select-Object EnableIdpInitiatedSignonpage
