Hi,
Because of a name change in our company we need to migrate all relying parties from one ADFS to another.
How can I migrate the AAD Connect federation with Azure AD to anonther ADFS farm?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @MrEco-9773,
The process for moving Azure AD Connect to a new server: compare configurations of the old and new servers, add AAD Connect on a new server, enable staging mode on it, remove AAD Connect from the old server, and disable staging mode on the new one.
As for migrating ADFS, if it is a farm then you can add an additional ADFS server as a secondary one and then make it primary: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1432.ad-fs-2-0-how-to-set-the-primary-federation-server-in-a-wid-farm.aspx
Once done, you can remove the other server.
If it is standalone, you can refer to these guides:

I'm keeping the existing AAD connect. Not moving that to another machine.
I'm also not adding an additional node to a farm.
I'm actually moviing from adfs.domain1.com to adfs.domain2.com and need to setup a new federation with the new ADFS server farm.
I'm wondering what the best method for that would be.
It's not well documented, but version 1.4 of AD Connect has features to modify your ADFS configuration: https://dirteam.com/sander/2019/09/16/azure-ad-connect-version-1-4-introduces-refined-ad-fs-management-capabilities/.
Just clicking through the wizard and that's it!
