I see https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/get-started/release-notes.htm but nothing in My ESRI, only seeing 2.3 and 10.7, no 2.4 or 10.7.1 downloads.

I'm thinking of using https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/analytics/analytics/updating-your-hosted-feature-services-with-arcgis-pro-and-the-arcgis-api-for-python/ to automate my feature services from one project, instead of a separate project for each service. mp = prj.listMaps()[0] is what tells it to use the first map in the project. How does one find the Map # in a project with hundreds of maps? Say I want to publish the 30th map in the project. Python is only outputting prjPath = r"X:\GIS_Final\data\basedata\basemap\Maps\ArcGIS\ARCGIS_SERVER\GRSM_SPECIAL_USE_PERMITS\GRSM_SPECIAL_USE_PERMITS.aprx"
prj = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(prjPath)
mp = prj.listMaps()
mp
[<arcpy._mp.Map object at 0x000002560D31BDD8>]
mp = prj.listMaps
mp
<bound method ArcGISProject.listMaps of <arcpy._mp.ArcGISProject object at 0x00000256089FDFD0>>

This should be fixed in Pro as well. Just spent over an hour typing in all of the RGB values for 508-compliant map. Someone wanted the marker fill symbols instead of hatches, imagine my [not safe for work words] when everything changed to all black!

Not supporting this critical Arc Map functionality makes no sense. Hoping it's included in 2.5!

Federal Highways delivers their Road Inventory Program (RIP) results in a Personal Geodatabase. Not being able to access these in Pro means, quite simply, we will be unable to fully migrate to Pro.

What was the solution to this? We have the same problem, folks on over night back country trips, when the iPad sits overnight, they're getting logged out, and obviously can't log back with no WiFi. This was never an issue with ArcPad, why was the functionality to collect data over multiple days removed?

Ahhh I see the "Subscribe" thingy, however, once I hit "Subscribe", there button doesn't change (still says Subscribe), thus nothing to indicate that I infact am "Subscribed", nor what Product Downloads I'm subscribed to? But this answers my need.

Perhaps? Does that mean I'll get an email with each new post? Or each new "Security" themed posted only by ESRI staff? I'm trying this but this required me to scroll down in my outlook and find the RSS folder. I'm jumping on the bus late here perhaps. With Github, I've got something set up where I get an alert when ever one of my Repos contains code that ends up on some CVE advisory, wondering if ESRI does the same thing?

Is there some sort of "Subscribe" doo hickey where I can get an email alert when something like https://community.esri.com/community/esri-software-security-privacy/blog/2019/05/28/portal-for-arcgis-and-arcgis-server-security-2019-update-1-patches-released gets posted? In context, I don't know how to "Tweet" or "Snap", and require IT assistance to get an app on my phone, soo..........

I get this frequently. Unfortunately the only solution we have found is to delete the users local profile on that computer. There is some non-ESRI related corruption going on there.

Hate to split hairs on this, but https://dl.dod.cyber.mil/wp-content/uploads/stigs/pdf/U_Esri_ArcGIS_Server_10-3_STIG_V1_Release_Memo.pdf doesn't mention any other version of ArcGIS Server other than 10.3. I'm not going to get into our specific security posture online, but I'm pretty confident the security folks aren't going to accept a 4-version-old STIG checklist in the ATO process. Seems like this would be an easy thing to maintain? There really isn't all that much difference between versions, the biggest road block would be getting a new version STIG pushed through the Vendor Development, which I understand is glacially slow.

Any chance that ESRI will start maintaining STIGS with the server version soon? It's been pointed out to me we can no longer use the 10.3 STIG as there are so many security features in 10.7 that don't exist in this antiquated STIG.
