Power BI Enterprise Gateway

Question

I have an issue with installing the Power BI Enterprise Gateway. Could you help me?

• Installation of the Gateway is succesful
• Log in to Power BI succesful
• Gateway is created in Power BI
• I get the error " Error updating gateway configuration " with the following stack trace. Below the most interesting part of the stack trace: Error updating gateway configuration. ----> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: An extension of name 'netTcpRelayBinding' already appears in extension collection. Extension names must be unique. (C:\\Program Files\\Power BI Enterprise Gateway\\Microsoft.PowerBI.DataMovement.Pipeline.GatewayCore.DLL.config line 15)
• I tried to uninstall PowerBI Enterprise Gateway, cleared everything that wasn't automatically deleted and reinstalled it.
• I restarted the service
• I tried renaming the 'netTcpRelayBinding' into 'mynetTcpRelayBinding' but something else refers to it, so that is not possible

Answer 1

I found out that it has something to do with the installation of ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services) on that same server. Looks like PowerBI Desktop and ADFS don't go together very well.
