@BenGunnewijk , as much as I agree that consistency within and across a company's product lines is important, I am interested in what "GUID standards" you are referring to?  ITU-T X.667, RFC 4122 (now RFC 9562), or some specific company's implementation like Microsoft (based on RFC 4122)?  Or is it really about Esri just being consistent with their own Global ID implementation?  ...

I am not sure if this is a question or request/comment.  What you are seeing is expected behavior in terms of licensing, at least on the desktop side.  Software maintenance is what allows one to upgrade to new versions when they come out, so not paying maintenance any longer on some of the licenses will leave them at their current version.  That said, it does seem wrong that Esri would restrict the role associated with that license since it is a valid license just for an earlier version. I would reach out to your account representative or distributor.  I can't say I have ever seen documentation that states the behavior you are seeing, so your representative or distributor might be able to make some kind of accomodation. ...

@LindsayRaabe_FPCWA wrote:   This script works when run in the interpretter, and has been running on our server when trigged by Task Scheduler overnight for some weeks. All of a sudden, now it doesn't.  You mention both the interpreter and a scheduled task, but it is unclear what doesn't work.  Does the script fail when running both ways or just one?  Also, can you paste the text of the error message and traceback?  Generally people don't do the best job of summarizing error messages, so it helps to see the exact and entire message. ...

Although I stated above ArcGIS Server can give red-herring or false error messages, sometimes the error messages are completely accurate.  I have definitely seen cases where the PublishingTools GP service is either not running or corrupted/broken, and it prevents data store registration or validation.  Have you tried what the message suggests, i.e., restart the service and reregister the data store in question? ...

This is why I always test a database client outside of ArcGIS software on a machine.  As to why the database client isn't working on this machine, I don't work with Linux enough to hazard an informed guess. ... View more

Is gis.example your ArcGIS Server or Web Adaptor?  It isn't completely clear to me the hostname of the machines involved. ... View more

Make sure all the existing registered data stores validate.  Any registered data store that fails to validate on the site will prevent new machines from joining a site. I have seen red-herring messages in the past when joining machines to a site where the error points to one thing when that isn't the issue.  Can you use the database client on the newer machine outside of ArcGIS? ...

I must admit I don't think I completely understand the question.  If users are going to be connecting directly to an ArcGIS Server machine via port 6443, than the certificate would need to be for and installed on the ArcGIS Server machine and not the Web Adaptor.  That said, in most deployments users connect to Web Adaptors and not directly to ArcGIS Server machines, so it is usually the Web Adaptors where the certificates matter.  There are organizations with IT security shops that don't support any self-signed certificates, but generally the backend or private components can operate with self-signed certificates while the public-facing components have organization or public certificates. ...

@ValeriaChavez , I believe the OP is seeking something that doesn't require ArcGIS Desktop/ArcMap.  ArcMap will be fully retired in 9 months, and at some point people won't even be able to download to install it anymore, so there needs to be a Pro-only solution to this issue. ... View more

Make sure to read Specify the maximum token expiration time - Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise, it covers default and maximum timeframes for various tokens used to connect to Portal and services.  Allowing up to 14-days for some of the tokens is fairly generous from a security standpoint.  As convenient as months-long refresh tokens would be, they would represent a security risk that I doubt many system security officers would be willing to live with.   ...

One issue I see, that likely isn't the same issue you are asking about, are the following lines: elif (cleararea_travellane is None or cleararea_travellane is "No"): return "Clear Area Travel Lane Error" elif (cleararea_crosswalk is None or cleararea_crosswalk is "No"): return "Clear Area Crosswalk Error" The code won't generate an error, but it will generate a SyntaxWarning because checking variable values should be done with the equality operator (==) and not the identity operator (is).  When checking for None, the identity operator is used because None is a singleton representing nothing. There are several places where TypeError can occur.  For example, elif (lvl_width < 48): return "LL width too small" will generate an error if lvl_width is None because None can't be used in an ordering operation like less-than or greater-than. ...
