A client develops a tiered approach to back up their ArcGIS Enterprise base deployment using the
webgisdrtool. The client has no map service or hosted tile layer caches All spatial data is stored in the
ArcGIS Data Store (relational) The client will perform full webgisdr backups every Sunday and
incremental webgisdr backups Monday through Saturday. The default settings of an ArcGIS
Enterprise deployment must be modified to support this
Which action should the administrator perform?
B
A client requires an ArcGIS Server site that provides the following capabilities
• Serve several cached image services Each service is published from a single raster and updated
once a year with new imagery from which a new cache is generated offline before publishing
• Serve a dynamic feature class of 1.000 points coming from a PostgreSQL enterprise geodatabase
Which licensing role does the client need for this ArcGIS Server site?
B
After upgrading ArcGIS Enterprise, an administrator observes that some items, groups, and users are
missing in the portal. What should the administrator check first?
B
Explanation:
After upgrading, it's essential to reindex the portal to ensure that all items, groups, and users are
correctly displayed. The administrator should check the Portal for ArcGIS index status to verify if the
reindexing process has completed successfully. Incomplete or failed reindexing can result in missing
content within the portal.

upgrading
An ArcGIS Enterprise deployment is completely internal and does not have access to the internet.
How should the organization find patches and updates for the deployment components?
A
Explanation:
For environments without internet access, the organization can use the patchnotification.bat utility
to check for available patches and updates. This utility can be run from the command line and
provides information about the current patch status of the ArcGIS Enterprise components.
Administrators can then manually download the necessary patches from another machine with
internet access and transfer them to the internal environment for installation.

and updates
An organization must publish hosted feature layers and hosted scene layers to its ArcGIS Enterprise
portal. The GIS administrator takes the following steps to enable this functionality:
Federates a GIS Server with the portal
Registers an ArcGIS Data Store relational data store with the GIS Server
Which action should the administrator perform next?
B
Explanation:
After federating a GIS Server with the portal and registering a relational data store, the next step is to
designate the GIS Server as the hosting server in the ArcGIS Enterprise portal. This configuration
enables the portal to support the publishing of hosted feature layers and hosted scene layers. The
hosting server must have both a relational data store and a tile cache data store configured to
support these functionalities.

An organization has a requirement to geocode crime incidents from a CSV uploaded to the ArcGIS
Enterprise portal. How should the organization configure their ArcGIS Server site to meet this
requirement?
A
Explanation:
To enable geocoding of addresses from CSV files uploaded to the ArcGIS Enterprise portal, the
organization must designate a federated ArcGIS Server site as the hosting server. This hosting server
must have a relational data store configured. Once set up, the portal can utilize a geocode utility
service to process the addresses. This configuration allows users to map addresses from CSV files
added to the portal.

An organization is considering deploying ArcGIS Enterprise. A needs assessment shows that all users
need access to the following applications and capabilities:
ArcGIS Pro
ArcGIS StoryMaps
View, edit and create portal content items
Which user type should be assigned for these users?
C
Explanation:
To meet the listed requirements, the appropriate user type is GIS Professional. This user type
includes:
Access to ArcGIS Pro (essential for desktop GIS work and analysis)
Full content management and sharing privileges in the portal
Use of premium apps like ArcGIS StoryMaps, Experience Builder, and others
The Creator user type provides access to web-based apps and content but does not include ArcGIS
Pro without an additional add-on license. The Editor user type is limited to viewing and editing
existing data and does not support app creation or use of ArcGIS Pro.

ArcGIS Server is installed with its Web Adaptor on the same server. The configuration is as follows:
ArcGIS Server is federated with Portal for ArcGIS
Portal is set up to use Integrated Windows Authentication
The environment was set up using a domain certificate
The attempted login account is a Windows account with admin privileges
A GIS administrator tries to connect to ArcGIS Server Manager through ArcGIS Web Adaptor but the
connection fails. Why did the connection fail?
C
A single Linux machine deployment of ArcGIS Enterprise has a home partition of 20 GB, a /data
partition of 150 GB, and an /opt partition of 75 GB.
Where should the configuration store and directories be located?
B
Explanation:
The configuration store and server directories for ArcGIS Enterprise should be placed in a partition
with ample disk space and stable read/write performance, as these directories store logs, cache,
uploads, and critical site configuration information.
In this scenario:
The /home partition (20 GB) is insufficient for growth and operational overhead.
The /opt partition (75 GB) is moderately sized but still smaller than the /data partition.
The /data partition (150 GB) provides the most space, making it the best choice to ensure scalability
and system reliability.
Best practice from ArcGIS Enterprise documentation recommends placing server directories and
configuration stores on high-capacity partitions like /data when available.

=====================
An ArcGIS Enterprise deployment is expanding one of its ArcGIS Server sites from one to three
machines because some services now require additional resources. Half the services use a shared
instance, and the other half includes dedicated instances.
What will happen to the minimum number of ArcSOCs running on the site?
A
Explanation:
When expanding an ArcGIS Server site from one to three machines, the number of ArcSOC processes
(service instances) will increase proportionally. For dedicated instances, each service's minimum and
maximum instances are configured per machine, so tripling the number of machines will triple the
number of dedicated ArcSOCs. For shared instances, the shared instance pool runs on each machine,
and the number of shared instances is configured per machine. Therefore, the total number of
ArcSOCs (both dedicated and shared) will be approximately three times greater after the expansion
A GIS administrator must determine which type of service to use when publishing a new basemap for
the organization. The basemap must meet several requirements:
Support offline workflows
Use as little storage space as possible
High-resolution display
Easily incorporate data updates periodically made to a feature service
Which service type should be used?
C
A GIS administrator needs to change the ownership of a shared update group to a different user. The
administrator receives an error message: "Unable to reassign the group at this time."
What is causing this error?
A
A GIS administrator publishes a feature service that references user-managed data. The
administrator wants users to add new features. Users should not make changes to attributes of
existing features or delete features.
Which feature service operations should be set?
B
Explanation:
To allow users to add new features without the ability to modify or delete existing ones, the feature
service should have the "Create" and "Query" operations enabled. The "Create" operation permits
users to add new features, while the "Query" operation allows them to view existing features. By not
enabling the "Update" and "Delete" operations, users are restricted from making changes to or
removing existing features. This configuration is ideal for workflows where data integrity is crucial,
and only the addition of new data is permitted.
Enabling "Update and sync" (Option A) would allow users to modify existing features and synchronize
changes, which is not desired in this scenario. "Extract and create" (Option C) is not a standard
combination of operations for controlling editing permissions in feature services.

Some members of an ArcGIS Enterprise organization are unable to create web maps and web scenes.
The users are only responsible for creating stories with ArcGIS StoryMaps.
What should the GIS administrator do to prevent confusion about non-accessible functionality to
those users?
C
Explanation:
To prevent confusion among users who do not have access to certain functionalities, such as creating
web maps and web scenes, the GIS administrator should configure the ArcGIS Enterprise home page
to display only the items and tools that are accessible to the signed-in user. This customization
ensures that users see a tailored interface that aligns with their permissions and responsibilities,
reducing the likelihood of encountering inaccessible options.
Configuring a maintenance notification (Option A) is more appropriate for temporary service outages
or updates, not for managing user interface elements. Adjusting Page visibility settings (Option B)
affects the visibility of entire pages but does not provide the granular control needed to tailor the
home page based on user roles and permissions.

experience
An organization is implementing a disaster recovery strategy for an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment for
custom cached basemaps.
Which action should the organization perform?
B
Explanation:
Custom cached basemaps are stored as tile cache files on disk and are not included in backups
created by the webgisdr tool or the ArcGIS Data Store backup utility. Therefore, to ensure these
basemaps can be restored in the event of a disaster, it's essential to manually back up the cache
directories where these tiles are stored. This involves copying the cache folders to a secure backup
location and ensuring they are kept in sync with any updates made to the basemaps.
The webgisdr tool (Option A) is used for backing up and restoring the ArcGIS Enterprise configuration
and content but does not include custom tile caches. The ArcGIS Data Store backup utility (Option C)
is used for backing up hosted feature layers and other data managed by the ArcGIS Data Store, not
custom cached basemaps.
