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

Yes, and AGOL doesn't need to be able to communicate directly with the Portal.   The Portal will reach out to AGOL and ask for the data.   ... 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

I'm on 11.2 and the version shown in Portal Administrator Directory is 11.2, but on /portal/sharing/rest it doesn't show a version number.    If go from the root down to /portal/sharing/rest/portals/self it says current version is 2023.2   Which is interesting because ArcGIS Monitor went from version 10.8.1 to version 2023.0 (latest version is 2023.3       ...

If you publish to an ArcGIS Server and choose Copy all Data instead of Reference Data, or if you choose Reference Data but your data source isn't registered you will get the warning "All data will be copied to the server", then a copy of your FGDB is uploaded to the server and ArcGIS Server does use a FGDB as the data source for the service.   This is for a stand alone ArcGIS server, though.  When you have Enterprise, it will always use the Data Store (Relational) to store data for feature services when you choose Copy All Data.  One exception I'm aware of is that if, when publishing from ArcPro, you select "Map Image" in the General tab under Reference registered data, and the location of your source FGDB is not already registered with the server, then it will behave as above and upload a copy of your FGDB. This only works for Map Image Layers, aka dynamic map services, not for hosted feature layers as far as I can tell.   ... View more

Agreed, it is not uncommon to use AGO as your ArcGIS Pro license manager and then interact with other ArcGIS Enterprise Portals.  You only need to ensure you have enough of the right type of Enterprise licenses for your users. ... View more
