I have read up on self-signed certs,  and can't figure out what they are good for.  ESRI docs on Portal  https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/web-adaptor/10.3/install/iis/enable-https-on-your-web-server-portal-.htm say that with a self-signed cert I will not be able to get Portal federated with Server, or get GISPro to use my local Portal.  At one of my two locations where I'm trying to install Portal,  I don't even have a local domain.  Without a local domain, I can't get a self generated domain cert,  but Portal is working real well for my customers when I just give them the url with port 7443 added, and tell them to add an exception to their browsers.  So that's why I'd like to concentrate on getting the domain cert from our local CA working.  I think those links will be helpful.  ...

This problem mystified ESRI Customer Care and myself for several days.  Finally, ESRI suggested a download of a patch from https://support.esri.com/en/Products/Desktop/arcgis-desktop/arcmap/10-6#downloads?id=7521  thinking that software on my Server and on my clients was from slightly different builds.  At first, it didn't seem to help, but then next day, after restarts of the client PCs,  the problem was fixed.  I don't know how I would have gotten a mismatch of builds since I downloaded the License Administer and Desktop 10.6 from the same My ESRI>My Organizations> page.  And on Monday, I took my USB drive with what I thought were the same downloads to another office and the upgrades went without a problem.  And the license server was working well with Desktop versions <= 10.5.1.  ...

Yes.  Those are all the obvious answers.  I tried pointing at the license server by name and IP number.  Ports are open,  I went through this several years ago with the Netgear router I still have. https://community.esri.com/thread/174271  I had normal behavior with Desktop 10.5.1. and License Server 10.5.1.  I rolled license server back to 10.5.1 on Monday just so it would working normally for my team until I had a chance to work on it again.  ESRI tech support had me install a license server patch, https://support.esri.com/en/Products/Desktop/arcgis-desktop/arcmap/10-6#downloads?id=7521  but it didn't change anything.  Service.txt looks like: SERVER this_host ANY 27000 VENDOR ARCGIS PORT=1234 USE_SERVER FEATURE ACT ARCGIS 1 permanent 1 vendor_info=7KNJDRHFHBK4CFDMJ214 SIGN="052E ABFC 32DD \     2473 DEFD E276 4BF3 E0DB 87EB 2203 5A30 C014 19A1 C35E 2154 \     08B1 9460 A2B9 6701 DC4D CAF2 E2FE 1347 0E36 90FA 4F3B E864 \     BEC8 D3A2 A615" Both those ports appear in the Inbound rules on the license server's firewall:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/7pciewhuwos1yoq/Screenshot%202018-03-08%2014.01.13.png?dl=0 ...

Oh yes, not ArcGIS Administrator, ArcGIS License Server Administrator!.  It took me awhile to fing this in the Windows Server 2012R2 interface.  Dropbox - ArcLicense.jpg  ... View more

I asked ESRI,  and Rex found the correct syntax for adding a enterprise geodatabase connection as a env.workspace.  to get this to run outside of ArcGIS Desktop, you need to read in the connection file. But you must also ensure that the connection is made with the "Save username / password" option checked in the connection properties. Otherwise, the connection will try to promprt you for the username/password, and fail in a script. To find the connection file path,  " in ArcCatalog- right click the connection file < Properties < Copy the file path). "  In my case this was C:\Users\huffm\AppData\Roaming\Esri\Desktop10.3\ArcCatalog\Streams as GisOwner.sde.  Knowing this will open up all kinds of SDE geodatabase management and processing for me.  Couldn't find this anywhere in Help.  Also note, env.Workspace doesn't work,  it needs to be env.workspace.   In this script,  you can see several ways I tried to get the syntax correct that in the commented out in lines 12 - 14,  then the last env.workspace in line 15 is the correct way, going to the connection file.  This script successfully populates the fclist, and prints list elements out to the Python Shell.  Remove the comment on line 29 and it will grant privileges to everything in the geodatabase connection.   # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # ModPriv2lp.py # Testing how to modify enterprise geodatabase privileges with python # Paul Huffman, 2017-12-14 # Set the necessary product code import arceditor import os import arcpy from arcpy import env #env.workspace = "Database Connections/Streams as GisOwner.sde" #env.workspace = "Database Connections\\Streams as GisOwner.sde" #env.workspace = r"Database Connections\Streams as GisOwner.sde" env.workspace = r"C:\Users\huffm\AppData\Roaming\Esri\Desktop10.3\ArcCatalog\Streams as GisOwner.sde" #get list of feature classes in geodatabase. fclist = [] #fclist = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses ("Database Connections/Streams as GisOwner.sde") fclist = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses () #The folling line worked by setting connection + feature class in a string for ChangePrivileges #datasetName = "Database Connections/Streams as GisOwner.sde/Streams.GISOWNER.str37_route_rivers" #datasetName = "Streams.GISOWNER.str37_route_rivers" #arcpy.ChangePrivileges_management(datasetName, "GISUsers", "GRANT", "AS_IS") for fc in fclist:     print fc     #arcpy.ChangePrivileges_management(fc, "GISUsers", "GRANT", "AS_IS") ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

I tried it with walk.  Almost the same thing,  although the walk version ran without errors from IDLE,  the feature class list was empty, and permissions were not updated.  If I copy and paste the python lines into ArcCatalog Python window,  the lines run to completion, the print filename line shows the current feature class getting processed,  and the privileges get added.  It's as if the Database connection is a property that only ArcCatalog knows about.  Arcpy and os don't know about the database connections.  # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # ModPrivlpwalk.py # Testing how to modify enterprise geodatabase privileges with python #  this time with python Walk rather than ListFeatureClass # Paul Huffman, 2017-12-18 # Set the necessary product code import arceditor import os import arcpy from arcpy import env env.workspace = "Database Connections/Streams as GisOwner.sde" ws = "Database Connections/Streams as GisOwner.sde" #get list of feature classes in geodatabase. fclist = [] walk = arcpy.da.Walk(ws, datatype="FeatureClass") #fclist = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses ("Database Connections/Streams as GisOwner.sde") #fclist = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses () #The folling line worked by setting connection + feature class in a string for ChangePrivileges #datasetName = "Database Connections/Streams as GisOwner.sde/Streams.GISOWNER.str37_route_rivers" #datasetName = "Streams.GISOWNER.str37_route_rivers" #arcpy.ChangePrivileges_management(datasetName, "GISUsers", "GRANT", "AS_IS") #for fc in fclist: for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in walk:     for filename in filenames:         print filename         arcpy.ChangePrivileges_management(filename, "GISUsers", "GRANT", "AS_IS") ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Here's an idea.  I just tried the three line version of the script from IDLE,  and still get "ERROR 000229: Cannot open Database Connections/Streams as GisOwner.sde/Streams.GISOWNER.str37_route_rivers."  Yet I can copy those three lines into  ArcCatalog's python window and it successfully ran.  And the model with iterator version runs successfully.  Do you suppose that setting datasetName = "'Database Connections/Streams as GisOwner.sde/Streams.GISOWNER.str37_route_rivers'"   in IDLE isn't working because that connection string doesn't mean anything to the OS,  the OS can't find that connection,  while running it in ArcCatalog can find the correct relative path and connection?  Dropbox - Screenshot 2017-12-18 15.21.59.png  ...
