Am I correct in thinking that you have a single server set up for ArcGIS Server/SQL Server?  If so, I know you are limited to the number of users connecting to your standard license; however, you do not need a separate SQL serve license for your SDE DB.  Your IT can give you a separate instance within their SQL environment for you to add your SDE DB or DB's.  I have 5 SDE DB's in the same SQL server instance, that is in a centralized SQL server bank, we used one SQL server license on a separate SQL Server, to serve out all of our SQL server DB's.  You do not need a separate SQL server license for each portal.  Our portal user and Enterprise user hit the same SQL DB.  The IT group could have separate SQL licenses for a DMZ versus internal organization SQL server environment.  I hope this helps. ...

Tim, There should be no reason to keep the temp files, once and install, process, or upgrade is complete, then it should be OK.   I have not heard of any reason, and you mention the amount of space taken up by temp files.  Generally the temp files would be copies of files being run in a process as an example.  We these kinds of files out there this could be false data, once you have an updated file or your processed file becomes the new production file for you. ...

Where do you work and what is your role? I am the GIS Manager at the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality. What GIS success have you had this year and what product did you use? I have made 2 story maps, one is for the non-point source program and one is for strategies 9 and 10 for the Governor's Water Strategy.  I have created a Nitrate Vulnerability model for Laramie County, based on a modified version of the EPS DRASTIC model.  I have created 2 mobil apps one for RV dump sites around the state and one for Recycling facilities around the state.   What is your expertise (GIS related or not), and how can that help the community? I use GIS for Wildlife analysis and interactions with humans.  I work in all aspects of GIS for the agency (data creation and  utilization both internally and externally.   My Favorite Places on Earth 41.344222, -106.308483 (Libby Flats the Snowy Range) 44.122602, -103.789566 (Black Hills of South Dakota) ...

Something to consider, are you using ArcGIS 10.6?  If so something that I have seen is that after publishing the new service and I choose to share with everyone, it does not care through to the service.  I need to log into ArcGIS Server Manager, choose the services button, and then choose the sharing on my service and set it to everyone in the manager.  This feels like a bug, but I have not been able to report it yet.   Also, when you federate your portal and ArcGIS Server, be sure to take screen shots of your server users, roles, and any other pertinent settings, because they will be overwritten with the portal, because these features will be managed by the portal after the federation.  With the screen shots you will be able to recreate those users/roles much quicker. ...

If you go into your server admin tools then go into Services>System you should have these 2 services: PublishingTools PublishingToolsEx I ran into a similar problem when I upgraded my SDE DB to SQL 17, and I was using ArcGIS Server 10.5, I had to upgrade my Server to 10.6, because 10.5 was not compatible with 17, but one of major problems was I did not have the PublishToolsEx service.

Mark, Thank you for your indepth review this is great information, we need to know the problems in order to make things better.  Looking at the geocoder, I saw the same thing with the ArcGIS Online geocoder with a project I have, my problem with that is that it charges credits for a bad geocode.  I would rather it not place the location if the correct information is not there.

We also made a screen shot of the color palette, and printed it off on our paper to see that color that would match up to the color that we wanted to see on the map (even though this did not look the same on the screen). ... View more
