My issue should be fixed with http://support.esri.com/en/downloads/patches-servicepacks/view/productid/160/metaid/2186
Same problem.
Use 10.3 multi-site ArcGIS.
We've been running into the same issue. Multi-machine site, Python script for publishing services moving from dev to test to production, ArcGIS Desktop 10.2.2 and ArcGIS Server 10.3 with Web Adaptor.
For those of you having issues with multi machine sites on remote shares. If they are storage area networks with SMB , you might be experiencing OpportunisticLocking as described in this ESRI support article.
My problems were solved by dropping a machine out of each site, then I could publish.
I was running dual , 2-machine environments at 10.2.1 on Windows 2012 and I received the reduced study errors, as well as packaging succeeded but publishing failed.
40391 - Packaging succeeded, but publishing failed. ERROR 001369: Failed to create the service
Same error yesterday as well:
ERROR 001170: The reduced study area polygon is too small for analysis. Failed to execute (UploadServiceDefinition).
Using python script to publish services. ArcGIS Server 10.3.
The service actually published and started without any problems despite this error message.
