Question#1

A GIS administrator is responsible for maintaining the stability of a large internal ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. After the Domain CA certificate is replaced with a new one and the new PKCS#12 format PFX file is imported into all Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Server, and ArcGIS Data Store deployments, the following issues are identified:
When connecting directly to the Portal for ArcGIS administration endpoint via port 7443, the new certificate is not recognized and is considered invalid
When connecting directly to the ArcGIS Server administration endpoint via port 6443, the new certificate is not recognized and is considered invalid
When connecting to the ArcGIS Data Store endpoint via port 2443, the new certificate is recognized and considered valid
What is causing this issue?

A. ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS require that new root and new issuing authority certificates be imported explicitly into the software
B. Domain CA certificates are no longer supported by ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS and should be replaced by self-signed certificates
C. Domain CA certificates must be imported using a DER encoded binary
D. 509 (CER) format file for ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS
E. ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS are not compatible with PKCS#12 certificates

Explanation:
When replacing SSL certificates in ArcGIS Enterprise components, ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS require the root and intermediate (issuing) certificates to be explicitly imported into their trust stores. Unlike the ArcGIS Data Store, which can often rely on the system-level trust store, ArcGIS Server and Portal maintain their own certificate trust management.
From the official ArcGIS Enterprise documentation:
“When using certificates issued by an internal or external CA, it is essential to also import the corresponding root and intermediate certificates into the Portal for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Server trust stores to ensure the certificate chain is validated properly.”
Option B is incorrect. Domain CA certificates are supported and recommended over self-signed certificates for internal deployments.
Option C refers to an acceptable format but does not address the issue, which is about importing the chain of trust.
Option D is incorrect; PKCS#12 (.pfx) certificates are supported but must be paired with the correct chain files.

Question#2

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?

A. Increase the heap size of the ArcGIS Data Store to support incremental backups
B. Enable point-in-time recovery on the ArcGIS Data Store to support daily backups
C. Decrease the max connections during backups to reduce the number of users connected.

Question#3

A portal administrator is trying to enable web-tier authentication (IWA) for the ArcGIS Enterprise portal using Active Directory and IIS.
Steps taken:
Configured portal with Microsoft version of ArcGIS Web Adaptor
Set identity store to Active Directory
Added AD users to the portal
Disabled anonymous access in Portal
Users are not prompted to sign in and are not automatically logged in.
What should the administrator do next?

A. Work with the IT department to disable anonymous access to the IIS web server
B. Assign a default user type to all portal members
C. Refresh user membership in the Portal Administrator Directory
D. Enable Windows Authentication in IIS

Explanation:
When using IWA through the Web Adaptor (IIS), the IIS server itself must be configured to deny anonymous access and allow Windows Authentication. Simply disabling anonymous access within the Portal settings is not enough.
From Esri’s web-tier authentication guide:
“For IWA to function as expected, anonymous access must be disabled in IIS for the ArcGIS Web
Adaptor, and Windows Authentication must be enabled. If IIS still allows anonymous access, users will bypass authentication prompts.”
Option B is irrelevant here―user types don’t affect login behavior.
Option C is a content sync feature, not related to authentication.
Option D (Enable Windows Authentication) is correct only if it hasn't already been done, but the missing step is disabling anonymous access in IIS.

Question#4

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?

A. Register an ArcGIS Data Store tile cache data store with the GIS Server
B. Set the GIS Server as the hosting server in the ArcGIS Enterprise portal
C. Publish a hosted feature layer to test the deployment's functionality

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.
Reference Source: ArcGIS Enterprise documentation on configuring a hosting server

Question#5

A GIS analyst creates a layer in ArcGIS Pro that must be published to the ArcGIS Enterprise portal as a web service that supports editing. The analyst does not have a connection to the ArcGIS Server where the service must be published.
What action should the analyst perform?

A. Create a service definition file to be published by a portal administrator
B. Change the privileges on their user role to allow publishing
C. Upload the layer to the portal as a layer package file and add it to a web map
