I tested this on my end and wasn't able to reproduce the behavior.  I have a shapefile sitting on the C:\ drive and I'm using Windows Server 2012 R2.  I created a new shapefile, edited it in ArcMap, closed ArcMap, reopened it, and the shapefile loaded successfully.  This occurs with any shapefile you edit? ...

If you're concerned with performance, reducing the amount of requests that need to go over the network is going to be key.  You'll want to put the file geodatabase on the local Server machine so that at least to reach the mosaic dataset, ArcGIS Server doesn't need to reach the network.  It will have to to retrieve the actual tiles through the network, but that seems unavoidable given the amount of data you're serving.  Following Lance's suggestion, you can still set up a UNC path for the data so other users can use it in their Desktop applications. ...

Are you appending new features to the feature service, or updating existing features?  If you're appending new features, (maybe the excel spreadsheet has spatial information, like X/Y fields), then you can create the features and use the append tool to append the new features to the datasets included in the feature service.  If you're updating existing features, you can use an UpdateCursor​.  You can find the features you need to find within the feature service using the attributes within the excel sheet and then use an Update Cursor to update the feature attributes.  You can either update the datasets in your SDE database or use the editing functions through Rest, (ApplyEdits, AddFeatures, etc) to update the feature service in a Rest call. ...

It looks like you generate a Portal token using the http referer approach, which I believe is the only way to generate a token.  What that means, though, is that every time you use the Portal token, the only way it's going to be valid is if you include a referer header equal to the referer parameter when you generated the token in every request where the token is used.  That's the only way the token is valid.  If you're not including the referer header in the request using the Portal token to generate the Server token, then maybe the Server token is not being generated correctly. ...

Even though you're signing in with your active directory credentials, I'm pretty sure requests to services in webmaps won't use those same credentials.  If you're interested in avoiding prompts for security, then you should embed credentials within the service items.  Note this does not work with web tier security.

I'm not sure if this is still a relevant issue for you or not, but if you want to simply upgrade your 10.1 site to 10.3, you can do an in-place upgrade and install 10.1 on top of 10.3 to upgrade it.  If you want to move your 10.1 site to a separate machine and then upgrade to 10.3, you can disconnect the machine from the site, (under Manager > Site > Machines), and then copy the site folder, (by default C:\arcgisserver), to the new Server.  You'll be redirected to the Create a site or Join a site page for the original Server site, so select Create a site and enter the same exact path as was originally set for your site.  You're simply telling the installation to look at the existing content for the site.  On the new machine, install 10.1, and set the site to point to the copied arcgisserver folder.  Once that's done, you should have identical sites at 10.1 on separate machines.  On whichever machine you want, you can then upgrade to 10.3 by running the installer. ...

You can also look into using a proxy page: Using the proxy | Guide | ArcGIS API for JavaScript Use proxy—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) | ArcGIS for Developers You can embed the valid credentials within the proxy page so that users won't be prompted to login to the application to access the secure service.  ...

Yes, you're considering display, but then attribute information.  The operational layers is the display, but query and search widgets and popups are separate.  You can still query the service regardless if it's cached, (as we can also see when you add the feature layer to the map). ... View more

I see no problems in Portal 10.3.1 on my end: Could you try to run fiddler and see what requests it's making, and if they're successful?  The file will be added through the Portal /sharing/KML utility, so chances are the request is not making it through there.  A Fiddler log or developer tools log from Firefox, Chrome, or IE will be helpful here. ...

Good find, Douglas.  Something to keep in mind for anyone else who runs into an issue where symbols, groups, users, or other items are not visible is to run a full Portal reindex.  This issue may occur during an upgrade of Portal from one version to another: Steps to perform an upgrade of your portal deployment - Steps 10-12 Upgrade Portal for ArcGIS—Portal for ArcGIS (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server After upgrading, I don't see all of my items, groups, and users in my portal.

When you check the service at Rest, is there a default value for that parameter?  If so, is it in quotes or is it unquoted?  There should be a default value, which would be the value you used when you ran it originally in ArcMap before publishing, so you could try to just submit the job at Rest with the default parameters to make sure it goes through. ...

Yeah, I agree that exporting from MB has the potential to get weird.  Can you also describe the inputs?  Are they feature sets, raster layers, strings, or choice lists?  The first thing we should look at is how the data is being entered to run the tool, given the error message on the Server end.  Your original post indicates you're running the model as a service, yet you include the code that it's failing on.  Did you try to publish the model, and did that fail as well?  Let us know how you're providing input to the tool, as that's going to be helpful in determining if those inputs are valid or not.  Can you provide a screenshot of the task parameters from the REST endpoint? ...
