On the internal AD FS2.0 server, the problem usually occurs, when it takes more than 30 seconds to connect to the database server, and is mostly seen after the AD FS2.0 server has been restarted.
On an AD FS2.0 proxy, the problem usually occurs because the service takes more than 30 seconds to connect to the internal AD FS2.0 server, and is mostly seen in the last step of the AD FS2.0 proxy configuration wizard.
The error can occur on both internal servers and proxies.
