Import Portal for ArcGIS site fails: failed to update configuration settings
Hello,
Since I upgraded from 10.9.1 to 11.0, my webgisdr restore tests start failing for Portal for ArcGIS with the error message "Failed to update configuration settings.":
Here is the relevant Portal for ArcGIS logs:

I then tried manually to 'importSite' rather than the full webgisdr process: same issue.
Somehow, it reminded me my previous issue with ArcGIS Server:
I am doing all my testing with arcgis-powershell-dsc and decided to 'importSite' on a Portal for ArcGIS installed manually: it worked.
Just like in the issue with ArcGIS Server, I thought at first that hostname.properties file was the issue. But actually not. It is also configured when Portal for ArcGIS is installed manually and even preventing ArcGIS Powershell DSC from configuring it did not solve the issue.
So looking at ArcGIS Powershell DSC code, I saw that another file that was edited: hostidentifier.properties located in '$InstallDir\framework\runtime\ds\framework\etc'
After DSC run, it was set like the following:
#Set the host identifier.
#If this property is set, it will be used to identify the current host.
#It can be a host name or IP address. But you need to make sure this name
#or IP is well-known in the network.
#Syntax: hostidentifier=<host-identifier>hostidentifier=myhostname.company.com
#Set the preferred host identifier when hostidentifier is not set.
#You can set it to 'ip' or 'hostname'. default is hostname.
#WARNING: you should NOT set it to "ip if the ip address
#of your machine will ever change.
#Syntax preferredidentifier=ip | hostnamepreferredidentifier=hostname
And if I compare to a manual installation, this file is not configured.
#Set the host identifier.
#If this property is set, it will be used to identify the current host.
#It can be a host name or IP address. But you need to make sure this name
#or IP is well-known in the network.
#Syntax: hostidentifier=<host-identifier>#hostidentifier=192.168.1.1
#Set the preferred host identifier when hostidentifier is not set.
#You can set it to 'ip' or 'hostname'. default is hostname.
#WARNING: you should NOT set it to "ip if the ip address
#of your machine will ever change.
#Syntax preferredidentifier=ip | hostname#preferredidentifier=ip
So I commented the configuration just like it is when installed manually, restarted the Portal for ArcGIS, and it worked.
I will remove this configuration from ArcGIS Powershell DSC code as I already maintain my own fork since BUG-000124901 is still not solved but it seems to me that it is a bug/regression from Portal for ArcGIS as Powershell DSC configuration of hostidentifier.properties looks correct to me so why would webgisdr restore failed when this file is configured ?
Any thought @ChristopherPawlyszyn or @JonathanQuinn ?
Thanks for listening !
