Unable to Install NuGet on newly installed Windows Server 2016 as Administrator?


I'm using Windows Server 2016 and ADFS 4.0.

As part of the troubleshooting AD Federation service, which requires me to install the NuGet and the Modules as per https://adfshelp.microsoft.com/diagnosticsanalyzer/Analyze

This is what I have executed and the error:

Install-Module -Name ADFSToolbox -Force
Import-Module -Name ADFSToolbox -Force
Install-PackageProvider -name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force

Error:

Solution

  • Force PowerShell to use TLS 1.2, and then execute your commands. I ran into this issue after the cutoff date for TLS 1:

    [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12;
