ADFS ERROR :  An error occured during an attempt to access the ADFS Configuration Database:
Error Message: ADMIN0017: An Exception Occured while Connecting to the configuration Service. the configuration service URL 'net.tcp://localhost:1500/policy' may be incorrect or the ADFS Windows service is not running.

I came across this error message in my lab set up as today as I was trying to add a new Relying party trust.

IDP page is also not working, there were no options in ADFS Consile in the left hand side.

I just restarted the ADFS service,

 IDP started working and the options to came up.

if this doesnt work, for WID service in services and ADFS service re-enter the password for te service account.

please comment if this helped you as well!
