IFD ADFS default website

Question

Hi
CRM is installed on a website on port 80 and there is no default website.
Can I change the binding for existing CRM to 5555 and create a new website called Default Web Site on port 80/443 and will ADFS install in this new site ?

That should work - you can essentially "recreate" the default website:
- On the existing site - Change the ID to something other than 1 (Advanced Settings)
- Create a new web site called "Default Web Site" - path "C:\inetpub\wwwroot"
- Change the ID to 1 (Advanced Settings)
- Rename to "Default Web Site"

The safe way to change the CRM website is to uninstall CRM, then reinstall on the new website and import the existing organisation (_MSCRM) database. However, this necessarily incurs a certain amount of downtime, which may or may not be possible

CRM won't have a problem when changing the id on that site ?

I have done this once in the past when I installed CRM to the default site and then realized I needed to install ADFS on the same server.
I just tested to double check - you will need to do an IISRESET after changing the ID.

If you try this make sure you update all the Reg keys for CRM otherwise you may have issues applying any Update Rollups or Updates.
The main one you would need to update would be the "website" reg key, the value would be something like /LM/W3SVC/1 and the 1 is the identifier for the website. Make sure you change this to the new identifier.
