I'm trying to publish some raster datasets as WCS using ArcGIS 10.4 (Desktop and Server), but have had little success. I've attempted to publish a dataset stored as an ESRI Grid, a GeoTIFF, and a Mosaic Dataset. I'm able to connect to the WCS image server, but when I try to add the image I get the following message: "Could not add the specified data object to the map. Failed to open raster dataset." 

When publishing my dataset, I select the WCS and WMS capabilities along with the Image Service. I am able to add the image as a Image Service when I connect to the ArcGIS Server just fine. I'm also able to add the published data as a WMS. The WCS is the only service that fails. Does anyone know what would cause my WCS to fail, but allow my Image Service and WMS work?

Turns out that if you are connecting to a WCS server from ArcMap you have to use the fully qualified domain name instead of using localhost in the service URL.

Example:

NO - https://localhost:6443/arcgis/rest/services/MOD13Q1_A2016177_h10v04_006_2016200095707/ImageServer
YES - https://FullyQualifiedDomain:6443/arcgis/rest/services/MOD13Q1_A2016177_h10v04_006_2016200095707/Ima...

Hello Aaron,

Publish the image service without WCS enabled during publishing. Once the service gets published, login to ArcGIS Server Manager > Edit Service. Turn on the WCS capability > Save and restart the service.

Jayanta,

Thanks for the reply. I did as you said in your comment, but unfortunately I'm getting the same message when I try to add the WCS image to ArcMap.
