Paul, its not that AD was unstable for us, its that we in GIS don't have any control over our AD and thus it was difficult to manage effectively.  For us, using GIS tier authentication gives us more fine grained control as we have fairly restrictive AD policies and so it didn't make much sense for us to try to mix AD with the bult in roles.  Also, our AD roles just weren't set up with server in mind, but rather for pure internal R/W access to various shares, etc. David ...

Hello all- The ArcGIS 10.3 for Server Map Cache Consumption Patch is the answer. After applying the patch, caches are now created using any tile management method and whether under load or not, cache directories are now renamed along with the service if a cached service is renamed, and service overwrites with a cache in place no longer leave behind a temp service. Thank you ESRI, I would consider this thread complete. David ... View more

Matt- I'd like to mark your reply as the correct reply to this long, long thread but unfortunately I didn't post this discussion as question.  Nevertheless, the ArcGIS 10.2.2 for Server Map Cache Consumption Patch is the answer.  After applying the patch, caches are now created using any tile management method and whether under load or not, cache directories are now renamed along with the service if a cached service is renamed, and service overwrites with a cache in place no longer leave behind a temp service. Same at 10.3. Thank you ESRI, I would consider this thread complete. David ... View more

Sorry - should have searched a little more.  The post: How do you enable the "Supports Pagination" on a layer at 10.3? shows that it is the FileGDB at 10.3 that does not support pagination, and only certain RDBMS' do, like SQLServer at 2012, but not at 2008.  So I will mark my question as assumed answered, but this really is a large bug -  esp when we are all supposed to be publishing from locally sourced fgdbs!

I've just been informed by @David Crosby that the same patch will be incorporated into the 10.3.1 impending release ... View more

That's great Matt.  Unfortunately I'm already at 10.3 so no help. Now if they would release one for 10.3 that would be great ... View more

Found it!  For some reason my development enviroment rest handler services directory resource calls didn't update to the 3.11 url resources when I updated to 10.3, but did on my production environment.  So in server administrator at https://<yourserver>:6443/arcgis/admin/system/handlers/rest/servicesdirectory update the various javacript api urls from: http://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/jsapi/arcgis/3.3 to http://js.arcgis.com/3.11 thanks @David Crosby ...

I have once again found that I still receive a bundle move error when recreating all tiles.  So what I have done is move to a workflow that Task 1: stopsService.bat securesService.py startsService.bat Task 1 removes load and ensures the service can't be accessed Task 2: DeletesTiles.py Task 2 ideally would minimize the amount of time a new bundle file is in memory or in a temp loaction or in tranaction during the Recreate tiles tasks below. Task 3: RecreateFullTiles.py Task 4: RecreateAioTiles.py UnSecureService.py Interestingly, the workflow performs without error when I execute the scheduled task manually my desktop.  The workflow fails when the trigger condition executes task because the DeleteTiles.py script fails with at least one: Failed to cache extent: -9157755.541216 3087885.815688 -9079507.910821 3130848.734828 at scale 9027.9774109999998 The index was either too large or too small. error. Hard to figure.  Something about a trigger condition runnning the task makes the task behave differently. David ... View more

Michael- No I did not and sorry I no I don't have the ability to cache in 10.2.2.  I did however find that I still receive a bundle move error when recreating all tiles if those tiles have not been deleted first.  I've adopted that as part of my workflow for 10.3: Secure Service Delete Tiles Recreate all tiles (full) Rercreat all tiles (aoi) Unsecure Service (ie make public) so it's 5 scripts in 3 tasks.

Hello- I have recently discovered that the time period specified in the Usage Reports Configuration section for ArcServer Administrator configured at usage reports > settings > edit is not being honored.  I specified a time period of 30 days to keep usage reports.  I now have some 55 days.  Has anyone else discovered this as well?
