AD FS Configuration Database Sync Error

Microsoft.ActiveDirectoryFederationServices2012R2.WIDSyncConfigurationDatabaseSynchronizationSyncErrorMonitor (UnitMonitor)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

Synchronization of data from the primary federation server to a secondary federation server did not occur.

The monitor will change to a Yellow state if Event ID 344 occurs more than three times within 30 minutes.

If synchronization of data from the primary federation server to a secondary federation server has completed successfully, the monitor will change to a Green state and the original critical alert will be resolved automatically.

Causes

Generally, this event results from any failure that occurs during the synchronization. The following are more specific possible causes of this event:

If the error occurred while data was being read on the primary federation server, the primary federation server is unavailable or the service account identity on the secondary federation server computer does not match the service account identity of the primary federation server.
If a SQL write operation failed to write to the configuration database on the local federation server, the cause might be that the SQL Server or Windows Internal Database (WID) service was stopped.

Refer to the additional data in the event to determine the actual cause. Also, when this event occurs for any type of synchronization failure, look for a corresponding error (Event ID 346) on the synchronization partner server.

Resolutions

Make sure that the primary federation server is available, and that the service account identity of this computer matches the service account identity of the primary federation server.
