Invalid Service Principal Name (SPN) for the AD FS service account.

The Service Principal Name of the Federation Service account is not registered or is not unique. As a result, Windows Integrated Authentication from domain-joined clients may not be seamless.

Recommended action
Use [SETSPN -L ServiceAccountName] to list the Service Principals.
Use [SETSPN -X] to check for duplicate Service Principal Names.
If SPN is duplicated for the AD FS service account, remove the SPN from the duplicated account using [SETSPN -d service/namehostname]
If SPN is not set, use [SETSPN -s Desired-SPN domain_name\service_account] to set the desired SPN for the Federation Service Account.
