"he’s been working with their nine-person team to support Scottsdale’s GIS needs for the better part of two decades" I love how dedicated GIS professionals are to their organizations.  I know there are many people who have worked in GIS for a single org for decades.  Kudo to Mele and to Scottsdale! ...

That's right, if two machines are joined as a site then the requests are divided between the two servers.  If you look at the log files you can tell which server is providing the response - it is listed in the machine name column.  But you can't control which server will respond for individual requests or for individual services. This is sometimes called "Scaling out", as opposed to "Scaling up", which would be just adding more memory to your single machine. Federating a new server and assigning specific services to it is a valid approach, too, and would be called "workload separation" ... View more

It means you can't ask for any support from Esri after June 1, so do plan to upgrade to 10.9.1 which is supported until the end of 2027.  In general, never stay on version x.0 once a x.1 or bigger is released.  x.0 versions have the most bugs. ArcGIS Enterprise Life Cycle | Esri Support  Once you upgrade to 10.9.1 you can install ArcMap on that server, but you must intall ArcMap version 10.8.2.  10.8.1 will not work. ... View more

When you have multiple servers joined as a single "site", all of the services are managed the same for both servers.  In fact you can manage the services from ArcGIS Server Manager connected to either machine. You can still set service properties, but those properties will apply to both machines.  For example, if you use a dedicated instance and set it to a maximum of 5, that is 5 per server so you are really getting a maximum of 10 instances.  If you turn off a service, it is turned off on both machines. You cannot assign services to one machine or the other, though.  To do that you would  just federate another server to the Portal and then when you publish a service you can choose which server it will run on. One other consideration is that both machines must access the same \config-store and \arcgisserver directories, so you would either set those up on a 3rd server or some sort of network file share, or you would put them on one of the two AGS servers and share it so the other mahine can access it too.  ...

It would depend on where your firewall sits in your configuration, and where your web adaptors are hosted. If you have a web adaptor in the DMZ (outside the firewall) and the other servers inside the firewall, the the source would be the web adaptor server and your destinations would be Portal, GIS and Image servers. Users of your services will access the web adaptor server on port 443, and then that server will access the other servers. ... View more

Following.   We need to do the same thing.   I see how to create an "application" item that has a client ID and secret, and I am able to generate a token using that, but I don't understand how that grants access to content, or how to specify which content it should have access to. ... View more
