If enter "https://winsrvarc.loclhost:7443“http://i.snag.gy/4yIhO.jpg

Hi Evan,

These are the following steps I followed to install the Portal for ArcGIS 10.3 in Windows 8 workgroup. I think the same goes with Windows 7 / 8.1.

1) Defined a Primary DNS suffix to the computer and restart the system.

Control Panel > System > Computer Name, domain and workgroup settings. Click "Change Settings". On      "Computer Name" tab, click Change. Define the DNS suffix name for this computer.

2) Uninstalled Portal for ArcGIS from Control Panel and

deleted "C:\Arcgisportal" and "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Portal" directories manually.

3) Ran "ccleaner" utility to get rid of the dirty files and registry issues.

4) Bound SSL Certificate to the website (Edit it, if already bound)

5) Installed Portal for ArcGIS. After the installation was finished, I was greeted with the Initial Administrator Account page.

6) Use the full computer name to configure portal for ArcGIS with web-adaptor.

Please note that the GeoNet Help​ space is for discussions about the workings of GeoNet, not specific applications. I'll move this discussion to Portal for ArcGIS, but you can also move it to a more appropriate place if necessary.
