The Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) includes Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services version 2 (ADFS2). This suite of software implements both a SAML2 IdP and SP that can be made to work with the SWAMID deployment profile. The default settings are not suitable for SWAMID and ADFS2 need extensive configuration that may require advanced knowledge of PowerShell (PSH) and the WIF .NET Claims framework.

A configuration guide exists for connecting an ADFS2 instance to the InCommon federation (the SWAMID counterpart in the US). InCommon and SWAMID are very similar and this guide should be useful as a template: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg317734%28WS.10%29.aspx.
