I found the answer. The error ESRI is giving is totally misleading. So, even though I unregistered the web adapter in the server manager, there was still a web adapter in place. This is why it would not work. I went to https://<machinename>:7443/arcgis/portaladmin Found web adapters, and sure enough it was still in there with an option to unregister. So, I did that. It took about 3 minutes with the spinning wheel in the browser before it refreshed and was gone. Then I went back to the server page to register the web adapter. I used the generic FQDN I made up just for this purpose from the first time I set up portal. This was just something I threw in the hosts file. So, like this.. https://myportal.<machinename>.com:7443 as the url. myportal.machinename.com is pointing to localhost in my hosts file. Then I used the PORTAL admin password, not the server admin password for credentials, and then it worked. The re-registering also took about 3 minutes, so just wait for it. I hope this helps someone else. The key here is that if you unregister from the server admin, dont trust it worked until you check portal admin. This is the thread I finally found that helped me out. web adaptor not configuring portal After doing all that, I was able to access my portal from the outside again and everything works. All content is still there too. I am still curious where this stuff is served from on my machine, but I'll just let that go for now.

We upgraded from 10.4.1 to 10.5.1 Server first. Then installed the 10.5.1 web adapter. I could not connect to the portal web site, and so I've beentrying to figure that out. I decided based on reading a bunch of pieced together articles that I should maybe unregister the web adapter and re register it. It WILL NOT work. I've tried everything I can think of. Failed to get administrator token from Portal. Please verify that the Portal URL specified can be accessed successfully. I can access the portal by https://machinename:7443/arcgis/home My portals name is not "arcgis" So already this is confusing to me. I have no idea also where these things are hosted from as there are no directories in my default web site, yet if I stop the site in iis I can no longer access it. I guess its just arcgis magic. I pointed to this default web site when I installed the web adapter and gave it a portal name of xxxxhome. xxxxhome now exists as a sub application in my default website. When I am registering the web adapter I have been trying all sorts of combinations. The help tooltip only says to enter the URL of my portal and that it MUST be done using FQDN. Thats fine because I have one configured I can use which is accessible both from the outside and local. I have also tried making a generic FQDN in my hosts file as another option. That also doesnt work. The hint shows its using https... :7443. It doesn't indicate why its using 7443 of IF I need to do it the same way. But trying that it doesnt work either. We had this set up and working before we upgraded. When I set it up the first time I was able to use the made up "local" name from my hosts file just fine. Now it doesnt work. I can only assume this is all because of upgrading. Very frustrating. It took me way too much time in the fiest place just to get this thing running. Holy crap. Every single task I would do was error after error, google after google stumbling my way through. It should not be so difficult. I know I'm being a little negative and I appologize. I'm just not sure what else to try short of uninstalling and reinstalling everything. If I do that, how can I ensure I wont lose all my portal content? Can anyone give me any more ideas?
