Yes, I was able to figure it out and thank you for your reply Joshua! The way I managed to get it going was to run proenv.bat opening a cmd window then entering idle. Also, had to run the bat file as administrator to be able to edit scripts and save them as well as run them. Was glad to figure out the license didn't depend on Pro being installed and believe there is another script called propy.bat that you can use to run python 3 scripts as windows tasks. Saw that in the same folder you mentioned in your initial post.  I'm not sure I'd call it super easy to figure out on your own. I still haven't found a way to run the idle window for python 3 without have a cmd window open first. Can you confirm that all the same libraries are available with Enterprise Server as would be with Pro installed? Wondering if I may have misunderstood the other person I talked to and there might be some libraries specific to a Pro license? ... View more

Thanks for your reply, it was helpful! I have since spoken with someone from support on another issue and I believe gotten answers to some of my other questions. I believe even though the libraries are there, I would need to have Pro installed on the server machine in order to have the license required to run arcpy 3 scripts. If that isn’t the case I would like to hear about it. I am interested in using the scripts to set up tasks on the server machine. ... View more

not 100% sure but believe Arcmap has used planar to calculate area without a choice? Really can't calculate for GCS like WGS84, guessing software that seems to do that, reprojects on the fly into something that can be calculated. As you noted, it would depend on the scale of the analysis you are doing as to which might be better. Also, pretty sure most plats and things never calculated geodesic values for length or area. ...

I'm using SAML with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7, federated Server and portal, 2 web adapters. I had to go into ArcGIS administrator and add the portal URL to portal connections so that you are able to sign into portal from arcmap or catalog. I was then able to create an admin connection in ArcGIS desktop to the federated server using my AD credentials which were already assigned admin privileges in portal. ... View more

That's what I had to do to! ... View more

I haven't tried using it in a script like you but found that I can't generate a token with my enterprise AD account so that I could log into the server admin directory. I'm using Enterprise 10.7, two webadapters installed, federated Server with Portal and AD with Portal. I can login with my domain account and get into portaladmin, server manager, and of course portal, but can't get into the server admin directory using my domain account to get a token. i tried updating the identity store in portaladmin to windows for users, which tested fine, but still no luck generating a token. After calling ESRI support and talking with the rep for a couple days I was told it is simply not possible to get a token using an enterprise account. I find that hard to believe, but if true I think it qualifies as a bug, something that should be fixed. After all it states in the on the support page for setting up AD with portal that you can remove the initial builtin account after federating portal with AD. Configure Active Directory Federation Services—Portal for ArcGIS (10.7 and 10.7.1) | ArcGIS Enterprise  Tip: It's recommended that you designate at least one enterprise account as an administrator of your portal and demote or delete the initial administrator account. It is also recommended that you disable the Create an account button and sign-up page (signup.html) in the portal website so people cannot create their own accounts.

In Arcmap 10.4 I get Or this It really doesn’t tell you if it is calculating planar area or geodesic area, not that there is a big difference for the polygons in my current layer, but according to https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000018807 The calculate geometry tool in Arcmap uses a planar calculation while the Field Calculator and Add Geometry Attributes Tool use Geodesic. I guess that I’m just saying it would be nice to have the option to calculate as if you had actually re-projected the underlying data for comparison. If we are able to choose a projected coordinate system different than that of the data source in which to calculate the area value, why wouldn’t we want to choose properties such as planar or geodesic that might be appropriate for that chosen projection? ... View more

Shouldn't the choice be based on the projection you choose in the dialog for the calculation, rather then the actual coordinate system of the data? In my opinion it should be. If I'm choosing a planar projection like state plane for the area calculation. I believe that is how it works in Arcmap when you choose the data frame projection rather than the coordinate system of the data? ... View more

No, I didn’t try an XY I was doing area, I made another post that explains. Also, I don’t know if it does just selected records but don’t see an option in the dialog? ... View more

I didn't try XY, but wanted to set the property to planar for calculating area, from data is in NAD83 2011 GCS, but to calculate area as SQ FT in the corresponding State Plane projection. The only choice was Area (Geodesic), which leads me to think perhaps the choices are based on the coords of the underlying data rather than the selected coord system in the dialog. ... View more

Hi KKramer-esristaff I was trying it yesterday (ArGIS Pro 2.4), but didn't see a check box for selected records only and it seemed to take awhile to run so thought it recalculated all of them. The other thing has to do with Planar or Geodesic area calculations. I believe only the Geodesic property was available because my data is in GCS, but think it should calculate geometry in the projected coordinate system you choose and the properties that are available to select should be based on that selection, not the coordinate system of the underlying data? ...

KKramer-esristaff had already done that 2 years ago, guess I was hoping the original author might come back and select a new correct answer. Had I not already known that, might not have looked past the correct answer. ... View more
